Module Development Defect Inspection Engineer

Job Title

Module Development Defect Inspection Engineer

Role Summary

Engineer responsible for developing and enabling module-level manufacturing and defect inspection processes to support high-volume production and future technology nodes. Works on process integration, equipment and metrology solutions, feasibility studies, and supplier partnerships within a foundry/package manufacturing organization.

Role partners with cross-functional teams (yield, operations, suppliers) to deliver manufacturable process flows and improved production efficiency.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically candidates with ~4–6+ years of relevant industry experience (see Education Requirements for degree/experience combinations specified by the employer).

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include process and equipment development, defect analysis, and cross-functional integration.

• Drive development of module-level manufacturing processes, repair and reverse-engineering efforts, and parameter optimization to meet device specifications.
• Design and develop manufacturing process flows, select materials, and recommend equipment or operating modifications to improve yield and throughput.
• Perform path-finding and feasibility studies using simulations and practical engineering methods to enable new device architectures.
• Develop technology roadmaps and partner with equipment and materials suppliers to implement enabling solutions.
• Use metrology and data-analysis techniques to characterize defects and guide process optimization and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with yield, operations, and cross-functional teams to deploy processes into manufacturing.
• Stay current on industry process and material trends and translate them into actionable technology plans.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items are noted when available.

• Hands-on experience in semiconductor processing, wafer-level assembly, or cleanroom manufacturing environments.
• Experience with process development methodologies, statistical process control, and manufacturing process improvement.
• Technical background in module engineering or fab process/hardware technology development.
• Ability to perform feasibility studies and apply engineering judgment to process and equipment issues.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills for cross-functional work with yield and operations.
• Preferred: metrology development experience; packaging process knowledge; equipment automation or project management experience; experience leveraging data-analysis tools for process optimization.

Education Requirements

One of the following degree/experience combinations is required: Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or a related STEM field with 5+ years of experience; OR a Master's degree in those fields with 4+ years of experience; OR a PhD in those fields (experience unspecified). Equivalent practical experience may be considered where stated by the employer.
