APTM Yield Analysis Senior Engineer / Team Leader

Job Title

APTM Yield Analysis Senior Engineer / Team Leader

Role Summary

Lead yield and defect analysis efforts for advanced packaging technologies across development and high-volume manufacturing. Work with large datasets, inline metrology, and cross-functional engineering teams to identify and resolve yield-limiting mechanisms.

Establish team priorities, influence technical roadmaps, drive corrective actions, and mentor a small team to improve manufacturing processes and defect detection capabilities.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Typical experience guidance: 9+ years with a Bachelor's, 6+ years with a Master's, or 4+ years with a PhD in a relevant technical discipline.

Responsibilities

Deliver technical leadership for yield improvement, defect analysis, and cross-functional coordination.

• Analyze large manufacturing, test, and defect datasets to identify yield-impacting trends and root causes.
• Apply statistical analysis, machine learning, and data mining to extract actionable insights.
• Relate electrical failures to physical defects using failure isolation, failure analysis, DFT, and test methodologies.
• Evaluate inline defect metrology performance and defect monitoring systems; recommend improvements.
• Define and drive corrective actions and influence yield roadmaps across technology and manufacturing organizations.
• Prepare and present technical reports on yield performance, defect trends, and device health.
• Lead and mentor engineers; coordinate with Process Engineering, Integration, Q&R, Product Engineering, and Test Development.
• Support technology transfer and ramp to high-volume manufacturing; travel domestically and internationally as required.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items are listed separately.

• Must-have: 5+ years performing data analysis with tools such as JMP, Python, or equivalent statistical/data-analysis tools.
• Must-have: Strong statistical analysis, data visualization, and structured problem-solving skills.
• Must-have: Experience correlating test/electrical failures with process and defect data (FIFA, DFT, sort/test methodologies).
• Must-have: Demonstrated ability to lead or mentor engineers and influence cross-functional stakeholders.
• Must-have: Excellent written and verbal technical communication skills.
• Preferred: Experience with semiconductor manufacturing, advanced packaging technologies, inline defect metrology systems, or high-volume manufacturing environments.
• Preferred: Experience applying advanced statistical techniques and working with large manufacturing databases and visualization tools.
• Other: Ability to travel as needed and work independently with minimal supervision.

Education Requirements

Required: Bachelor's degree with 9+ years relevant experience, OR Master's degree with 6+ years, OR PhD with 4+ years. Typical fields: Materials Science & Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Physics, Chemistry, or a related technical discipline; or equivalent practical experience.
