Required Senior Process & Yield Engineer - Manufacturing
Position Overview
The Senior Process & Yield Engineer will play a key role in developing, optimizing, and sustaining manufacturing processes to ensure quality, device performance, and line yield.
This role involves deep technical ownership of process modules, cross functional problem solving, yield excursion management, and continuous improvement of factory performance.
The ideal candidate possesses hands on process expertise, strong data driven decision making capabilities, and a proven ability to lead complex engineering initiatives in a high volume manufacturing environment.
Job Description
Key Responsibilities
Sustaining Process Engineering:
Monitor process health and equipment performance; respond to line abnormalities and excursions in real time.
Collaborate with Equipment Engineering to ensure tool matching, qualification, and tool health stability.
Maintain process documentation, change management, FMEA, and risk assessments.
Process Development & Optimization:
Develop, characterize, and optimize process steps to meet device performance, yield, and cost targets.
Own and coach DOE planning and execution to improve process stability, robustness, and manufacturability.
Define process recipes, operating windows (EWAs), and control plans aligned with technology requirements.
Yield Engineering & Data Analysis:
Conduct root‑cause analysis for yield loss and parametric drift; drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
Use statistical tools (JMP, Python, SPC systems) for yield trend analysis and early detection of process anomalies.
Lead continuous improvement cycles through Six Sigma and structured problem‑solving methodologies.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Work closely with device engineering, equipment teams, integration, and quality to resolve technical issues.
Support NPI (New Product Introduction) activities including process readiness, qualification, and ramp to volume.
Participate in cross-site technical forums, best-practice sharing, and global engineering programs.
Requirements: B.Sc. in Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
5+ years of experience in manufacturing (process, integration, or yield engineering).
Strong statistical analysis abilities and familiarity with SPC, DOE, FDC, and yield management systems.
Experience with at least one major process module (e.g., Lithography, Etch, Diffusion, CMP, PVD/CVD, Implant, Wet Process, Metrology).
Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems systematically and drive closure.
Excellent communication skills and ability to work in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
Way to stand out of the crowd:
Experience with advanced nodes, MEMS, SiPh, power devices, or specialty processes.
Knowledge of automation systems (MES, APC) and advanced data‑science tools (Python, SQL, ML-based detection).
Project management experience (Agile, Waterfall ).
Certifications such as Six Sigma Green Belt/Black Belt.
Leadership experience-mentoring junior engineers, leading projects, or multi-disciplinary task forces.
Personal Attributes:
Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail.
High sense of ownership and accountability.
Able to balance tactical firefighting with long‑term strategic improvements.
Collaborative, adaptable, and comfortable with ambiguity.
This position is open to all candidates.
