Job Title

Engineer - QEM PQE YIELD

Role Summary

Work as a process/equipment engineer in the wafer fab to start up new products, develop and optimize processes, and drive yield, quality and reliability improvements. The role focuses on diagnosing and resolving process-related manufacturing issues and implementing process, equipment and material changes to improve product yield and reduce cost.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (process, integration, fab operations, test, suppliers) and lead data-driven improvement activities, taskforces, and baseline qualifications.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Early-career. Minimum 1 year of relevant semiconductor industry experience required.

Responsibilities

Key day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Lead new product startup and sustain high-volume product yield and product-grade improvement.
• Lead yield and product-grade enhancement initiatives, monitor performance and drive corrective actions.
• Analyze process and yield data using statistical tools; summarize, present, and publish results to stakeholders.
• Design and execute DOE to drive process improvements.
• Drive cross-functional taskforces to mitigate yield loss and create continuous-improvement roadmaps.
• Identify, diagnose, and resolve process issues using failure analysis, FMEA, 8D and SPC methodologies.
• Coordinate process, equipment and material evaluations and implement qualifying changes in production.
• Work with fab groups (integration, MH, PE, PYE) and suppliers to resolve process/device/test related issues.
• Integrate AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency and analysis while following organizational and legal standards.

Requirements

Concise list of must-have and preferred qualifications for the role.

• Must-have:
  • Minimum 1 year of relevant semiconductor industry experience.
