Yield Analysis & Improvement: Drive end-to-end yield performance across wafer sort, parametric, and final tests by performing advanced data mining and statistical analysis to identify yield limiters and correlate detractors with electrical, inline, and defect data to implement improvement actions.
Root Cause & Failure Analysis: Drive yield stability by leading root cause analysis through structured methodologies, correlating electrical signatures with physical defects via EFA/PFA partnerships, and collaborating with Design and Product teams to eliminate layout-dependent yield limiters before ramping.
Data Science & Modeling: Apply advanced data science techniques and machine learning to build sophisticated yield models and automated analytics pipelines using Python, JMP, and SQL to enhance yield dataset analysis.
Yield Management: Lead comprehensive yield management by defining strategic roadmaps, KPIs, and improvement strategies, while managing major yield excursions, mentoring junior engineers, and communicating yield health and risks to executive leadership.
