  • Optimize process parameters to achieve optimal product performance and stable production supply.
  • Drive device performance optimization, yield improvement, WAT analysis, and process/fab qualification.
  • Oversee inline monitoring, statistical process control (SPC) reviews, and DPPM reduction to maintain high production quality.
  • Address and resolve Returned Material Authorizations (RMAs), quality issues, and customer requests in a timely manner.
  • Work with internal teams to implement robust preventive actions, ensuring issues do not recur.

What We're Looking For

  • 15+ years of experience in semiconductor technology development, fab process integration, foundry engineering, or foundry management within IDM, foundry, or fabless companies.
  • Strong expertise in silicon manufacturing technology, yield enhancement, reliability, statistical process control, and failure analysis.
  • A self-motivated team player capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
  • Proven engineering problem-solving skills with an execution-oriented mindset.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively in a fast-paced, results-driven environment.
