• Develop and implement solutions using manufacturing process knowledge, statistical methods, and structured problem-solving techniques.
• Drive recommendations and influence yield improvement roadmaps across technology development and manufacturing organizations.
• Analyze the relationship between electrical failures and physical defects through the application of:
• Failure Isolation and Failure Analysis (FIFA)
• Design for Test (DFT)
• Sort and Test methodologies
• Process Integration
• Manufacturing process flows
• Data mining and database analysis
• Data visualization techniques
• Evaluate inline defect metrology performance, detection capabilities, and defect monitoring systems used in manufacturing.
• Partner with Process Engineering, Integration, Quality and Reliability (Q&R), Product Engineering, and Test Development Engineering teams to resolve yield and defect challenges.
• Prepare and present detailed technical reports on yield performance, defect trends, and device health metrics.
• Define and drive corrective actions necessary to achieve world-class yield performance.
• Collaborate with upstream, downstream, and cross-functional stakeholders to support technology development, technology transfer, and successful ramp to high-volume manufacturing.
• Lead and mentor small teams of engineers in direct or indirect leadership capacities.
• Travel domestically and internationally as required.

Behavioral Skills

• Ability to lead cross-functional teams and effectively influence stakeholders across organizational boundaries.
• Comfortable working in ambiguous environments and adapting to changing priorities.
