Process Integration & Foundry Engineer

Job Title

Process Integration & Foundry Engineer

Role Summary

Resident fab/process engineer serving as Allegro's on-site technical liaison at a wafer foundry partner. Ensure proprietary process flows, yield, and quality plans are executed and improved in high-volume manufacturing.

This role combines process engineering, supplier coordination, and manufacturing problem-solving with direct presence at the partner site.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The role expects approximately 5–10 years of hands-on experience in a semiconductor wafer fab environment (process, yield, or integration roles).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities focus on foundry oversight, yield and quality control, and supporting new product transfer to manufacturing.

• Act as primary on-site contact between Allegro engineering teams and foundry process engineers.
• Monitor daily line health and wafer-sort yields; lead root-cause analysis for yield excursions using SPC data.
• Audit foundry process flows for Allegro-specific technologies (e.g., BCD, high-voltage, TMR) and enforce Process Control Plans and Quality Agreements.
• Support New Product Introduction: coordinate engineering sample fabrication and hot-lot processing.
• Lead excursion task forces: contain affected material, identify causes, and implement corrective actions including 8D reports.
• Identify and implement continuous-improvement opportunities to reduce cycle time, lower cost, and improve yield without compromising reliability.
• Communicate technical status and risks to internal stakeholders and foundry leadership.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and on-site work style; listed tools and techniques are expected for immediate contribution.

• 5–10 years of hands-on experience in a semiconductor wafer fab environment (process engineering, yield engineering, or integration).
• Deep knowledge of BCD or analog/mixed-signal process flows and process control techniques.
• Experience with statistical analysis software such as JMP, Minitab, or Spotfire.
• Familiarity with failure analysis methods (SEM, EDX, FIB) and practical use of FA data in RCA.
• Proven ability to lead root-cause investigations and drive corrective actions (including 8D methodology).
• Strong technical communication skills; able to present complex issues to executives and foundry partners.
• Comfortable working autonomously on-site at a partner facility while aligning with corporate objectives.
• Preferred: demonstrated experience improving yield and implementing process improvements in production fabs.

Education Requirements

B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or Physics.
