Job Title

Principal Engineer, Frontend Central Product Integration Engineering (cPIE) — Transformative HVB (High‑Value‑Bits)

Role Summary

Senior technical leader within Frontend CPIE responsible for defining technical direction and delivering scalable solutions to improve yield, quality, and reliability for high‑value products. The role architects data solutions, enables equipment prognostics and process integration, and drives test/screening optimization to materially improve product grade yield.

Works across Process & Equipment Engineering, Manufacturing, Product Integration Engineering, Data Science, and other global teams to prototype, validate, and deploy best known methods (BKMs) and production‑ready tools at scale.

Experience Level

Senior (Principal‑level). Years of experience: Not specified.

Responsibilities

Accountable for technical strategy, cross‑functional integration, and global deployment of solutions that improve yield and quality.

• Set technical direction for CPIE initiatives including UE_ROW, quality indices, Frontend–PTS integration, and high‑value bits (PG2+).
• Architect and prototype data solutions, methodologies, and frameworks to identify and prioritize yield, quality, and reliability improvements.
• Model, monitor, and benchmark tool performance and process capability at scale; enable equipment prognostics and advanced process integration.
• Define and validate test and screening optimization strategies to improve product grade yield without quality escapes.
• Drive end‑to‑end problem solving for complex, cross‑module issues and lead global deployment of BKMs.
• Partner with Process & Equipment Engineering, Manufacturing, Product Engineering, Data Science, Smart Manufacturing AI, Technology Development, and suppliers to ensure solutions are manufacturable and scalable.
• Influence technical and strategic decisions across sites, nodes, and organizations and mentor engineers within CPIE and FE engineering.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to technical and executive audiences and produce high‑quality technical artifacts.

Requirements

Must have strong technical leadership, cross‑functional collaboration, and execution skills to deliver production‑ready semiconductor yield and quality improvements.

• Proven experience providing technical leadership in semiconductor frontend yield, quality, or product integration initiatives.
• Experience designing and deploying data‑driven solutions, process integration methods, or tool performance monitoring at scale.
• Ability to lead cross‑discipline teams, quantify business impact, and rapidly prototype and mature solutions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for both technical and executive audiences; ability to produce technical proposals and decision memos.
• Demonstrated mentoring and influence skills; ability to enable alignment without direct authority.
• Willingness to support global teams across time zones and travel as required.
• Nice to have: experience with equipment prognostics, Smart Manufacturing AI, test/screening optimization, or demonstrated track record deploying BKMs globally.
