Yield Enhancement (YE) Lead Engineer

Job Title

Yield Enhancement (YE) Lead Engineer

Role Summary

Lead a team of Yield Enhancement engineers within Package Development Engineering to deliver predictable yield ramps, rapid learning closure, and manufacturing readiness for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) New Product Introduction (NPI).

The role provides people leadership, technical direction, and execution governance while partnering with Process Integration, MRDA, Process Engineering, Assembly/Test Manufacturing, Quality, and Program Leadership to protect schedule, yield, and customer commitments.

Experience Level

Senior — 5+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, yield engineering, or NPI execution.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing YE team; set expectations for yield ownership and escalation behavior.
• Coach engineers on technical rigor, structured problem solving, and stakeholder communication; drive development and succession planning.
• Own yield performance for HBM NPI builds across PWF, Assembly, and Test via defect breakdown, PFA, and root-cause analysis.
• Maintain and use yield dashboards/trackers to account for yield loss and support data-driven decisions.
• Analyze and report yield deviations; trigger corrective actions and support block runs and partial conversions to detect early yield impact.
• Collaborate with PCS, PI, PE, and RDA to incorporate SPC/FDC charts and shift-left monitoring into dashboards.
• Lead major yield excursions: containment, root cause analysis, corrective actions, and cross-functional resolution.
• Represent Yield Engineering in NPI phase-gate reviews, readiness assessments, and ramp decisions.
• Identify yield improvement opportunities, including use of diagnostic and AI-enabled tools, and propose improvements to PI.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, yield engineering, or NPI execution.
• Strong background in yield analysis, SPC, excursion management, and NPI ramp support.
• Proven ability to lead teams in high-pressure, time-critical environments and drive execution discipline.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Baseline digital fluency and role-appropriate AI literacy to use AI-enabled tools responsibly for analysis and problem solving.

Nice-to-have:

• Prior people-management or senior technical leadership experience.
• Experience with advanced packaging, HBM, or 3D-stacked technologies.
• Track record of driving yield stabilization during aggressive ramps.
• Familiarity with data analytics, yield dashboards, and automation initiatives.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related discipline.
