Senior Yield Analysis Engineer — Advanced Packaging

Job Title

Senior Yield Analysis Engineer — Advanced Packaging

Role Summary

Join the Advanced Packaging Technology and Manufacturing (APTM) Yield Group to drive yield and defect improvement across packaging technologies from development through high-volume manufacturing. The role focuses on analyzing large datasets, diagnosing process and test failures, and delivering actionable recommendations to improve yield.

Experience Level

Senior. Typical expectation: approximately 6+ years of relevant industry experience (varies by background).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include data-driven yield improvement, cross-functional collaboration, and communicating results to engineering and manufacturing partners.

• Analyze structured and unstructured data sets using statistical methods and machine learning to identify yield drivers and defects.
• Develop solutions using knowledge of manufacturing processes, test content, and inline metrology.
• Drive recommendations and influence the yield-improvement roadmap and action plans.
• Correlate electrical and physical failures across FIFA, DFT, Sort/Test, and integration/process flows.
• Use data-mining, databases, data manipulation, and visualization to present clear findings.
• Prepare timely reports summarizing yield and device health and define required actions to reach target yield levels.
• Work with Process Engineering, Integration, QNR, Product and Test teams to enable successful technology development, transfer, and ramp to HVM.
• Support domestic and international travel as needed for transfers, ramps, or cross-site collaboration.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience to perform the role effectively.

• Hands-on data analysis experience (e.g., JMP, Python, or similar) — demonstrated ability to manipulate and interpret large datasets.
• Proficient in statistical analysis and applied data science methods for yield improvement.
• Experience with data-mining, databases, data visualization, and data manipulation tools.
• Understanding of manufacturing test flows, Sort/Test data interpretation, and defect analysis methods.
• Strong analytical, communication, and presentation skills; able to influence cross-functional teams and work autonomously.
• Proven problem-solving and structured technical troubleshooting skills.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as required.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with product/circuit/architecture details relevant to yield analysis.
• Hands-on knowledge of inline defect metrology and detection capabilities.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree + ≥6 years relevant experience, or Master's degree + ≥4 years, or PhD + ≥2 years in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related field; or equivalent practical experience.
