Product Quality Engineering Manager

Job Title

Product Quality Engineering Manager

Role Summary

Lead product quality engineering for DRAM at Taichung Fab 16. Responsible for driving yield and reliability improvements, managing a product quality assurance (PQA) team, and coordinating cross-functional investigations and corrective actions.

Work with process, manufacturing and module teams to reduce failures, improve probe coverage and ensure products meet specifications and reliability targets.

Experience Level

Senior — manager-level role. Years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include leading investigations, improving yield and reliability metrics, and managing the quality assurance team.

• Drive yield improvement initiatives (rdV, UE_Row, PG, PTS) and reduce burn/module defects per million.
• Enhance probe coverage (DL4) and implement shift-left testing strategies.
• Manage MRB cases, conduct postmortems and develop CAPAs; disposition fab deviations and release hold lots.
• Improve product grade yield and monitor wafer-level reliability metrics.
• Oversee RMA management and analysis to identify process or probe improvements.
• Perform root cause analysis and implement systemic and specific corrective actions.
• Monitor and drive improvements in quality metrics, including module production failures and RMAs; report reliability metrics that do not meet specifications.
• Lead analysis of multiple data sources and provide actionable feedback to stakeholders and customers.
• Collaborate with Process, Module Area, RDA and Manufacturing teams on containment and continuous improvement actions.
• Define performance objectives and expectations for the PQA team; provide performance management and feedback.
• Establish communication channels and training/development plans; promote a quality culture and attract necessary talent.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and domain knowledge.

• Understanding of electrical device parameters and their relation to fabrication processes.
• Proficiency with statistical methods, data analysis and data mining.
• Experience with electrical failure analysis.
• Knowledge of CMOS or silicon-based memory devices and semiconductor/memory reliability mechanisms.
• Familiarity with semiconductor process flow and product disposition for unplanned deviations.
• Experience analyzing RMAs and determining root causes.
• Familiarity with FMEA or 8D problem-solving processes.
• Understanding of reliability specifications (voltage, parametric and reliability specs).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical or Electronics Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, or Physics.
