Engineer I - Yield Enhancement

Job Title

Engineer I - Yield Enhancement

Role Summary

Entry-level engineering role in yield enhancement for semiconductor manufacturing at Microchip's Chandler site. The role supports analysis of manufacturing data, identification of yield loss mechanisms, and implementation of corrective actions across process, test, and design teams.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Engineer I). Typical candidates are early-career engineers or recent graduates.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include data-driven yield improvement and cross-functional collaboration.

• Analyze manufacturing and test data to identify yield loss drivers.
• Perform defect and failure analysis and correlate results to process/test variables.
• Support root-cause investigations and design/process corrective actions.
• Run experiments, collect data, and evaluate process/test changes.
• Document findings, prepare reports, and communicate results to engineering and manufacturing teams.
• Support implementation of process control and monitoring activities to prevent recurrence.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and abilities; nice-to-have items listed separately.

• Must-have: Basic understanding of semiconductor manufacturing and test processes; ability to analyze large datasets and draw conclusions.
• Hands-on experience or familiarity with failure analysis tools, statistical methods, and data visualization.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with yield enhancement, process characterization, or test engineering; familiarity with scripting or statistical software (e.g., Python, R, JMP).

Education Requirements
