RDA Process Development Engineer

Job Title

RDA Process Development Engineer

Role Summary

The RDA (Realtime Defect Analysis) Process Development Engineer will use defect-detection equipment and data analysis to identify and resolve process issues for next-generation DRAM and HBM technology development. The role partners with Process Integration, Process Development, Data Science, and Yield teams to move devices from initial development to high-volume manufacturing.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting does not state explicit years of experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities focus on defect detection, data analysis, and process improvement across development and manufacturing interfaces.

• Analyze experimental process flows to detect defect anomalies and quarantine tools that are out of control.
• Use new and existing inspection/metrology tools to drive earlier detection and identification of root causes.
• Develop and improve inspection techniques and correlations to identify relevant process issues.
• Perform data analysis, baseline health checks, and systematic and random defect improvement activities.
• Participate actively in technical meetings and synthesize opportunities or novel approaches.
• Collaborate with global sites to develop and maintain best-known methods and site alignment.
• Continuously pursue operational improvements and raise timely alarms for process anomalies.

Requirements

Key skills and attributes required or preferred for the role.

• Must-have: Proactive learner with strong technical, analytical, and communication skills.
• Must-have: Ability to investigate process anomalies, perform root-cause analysis, manipulate data, and explore correlations.
• Must-have: Basic data-science aptitude and ability to learn/apply scripting, coding, or programming for data manipulation.
• Must-have: Good verbal and written English communication skills.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with metrology, inspection, or RDA tools.
• Nice-to-have: Ability to improve efficiency and solve problems using AI tools (for example, Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, or a related field is specified. The posting also emphasizes training and coursework and a willingness to learn; no mention of equivalent-experience language or advanced degrees.
