YE Engineer

Job Title

YE Engineer

Role Summary

Work in a semiconductor fabrication environment to analyze yield data, identify yield detractors, and drive corrective actions across process, equipment, and product lines. The role partners with module engineering, equipment, quality, and cross-functional teams to support production, new technology transfer, and qualification activities.

Experience Level

Entry-level (minimum 2 years of relevant experience in semiconductor manufacturing, yield engineering, process engineering, or related electronics industries).

Responsibilities

Primary duties focus on data-driven yield improvement, root-cause analysis, and cross-functional problem resolution.

• Analyze inline/param/probe/DOE data to identify and prioritize yield detractors.
• Apply device physics, process knowledge, and statistical tools to troubleshoot yield issues.
• Collaborate with module engineering to diagnose process/tool-related yield variation and implement fixes.
• Lead or participate in cross-functional task forces for complex yield, defect, or integration problems.
• Perform root-cause analysis using FMEA, 8D, SPC, and other structured methodologies.
• Publish Pareto analyses and maintain dashboards for assigned product lines.
• Support new technology transfer, process baseline setup, and qualification activities.
• Partner with equipment, shift, and quality teams to address long-term defect or excursion issues.
• Conduct material, process, and equipment evaluations and recommend optimizations using AI-assisted tools.
• Ensure product performance meets design and reliability requirements and propose corrective actions.

Requirements

Must-have skills, experience, and behaviours for successful performance in this role.

• Minimum 2 years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, yield engineering, process engineering, or related electronics industries.
• Experience in memory process, device engineering, or product/design analysis.
• Strong analytical skills and experience with statistical or scripting tools (for example, JMP, Python, SQL).
• Excellent communication, problem-solving capability, and the ability to learn independently.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced production environment and take strong ownership.
• Willingness to support weekend or holiday on-call duties when required.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Physics, Optoelectronics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
