Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct yield analysis and failure investigations to identify root causes and recommend solutions to improve manufacturing yields and reliability.
• Analyze end-of-line test data, process parameters, and electrical measurements using statistical tools to extract meaningful insights and perform correlation calculations.
• Develop and implement advanced characterization and analysis techniques to enhance the efficiency and precision of failure analysis efforts.
• Perform electrical failure analysis (EFA) to address complex yield limiters across product development and high-volume manufacturing phases.
• Collaborate across teams to segment issues related to process, test marginalities, and product operation.
• Support process and defect characterization while developing innovative techniques to accelerate failure identification and root cause understanding.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or related STEM field and 4+ years relevant experience

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or related STEM field and 2+ years relevant experience

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or related STEM field.
• Depending on the degree obtained, the listed amount of experience will be needed in each of the items below: • Background in yield analysis, failure analysis, or process integration in semiconductor manufacturing
• Statistics and data analytics (yield modeling, SPC, DOE, correlation analysis)
• Wafer sort testing, defect metrology, E test, and/or fab data systems

• Programming or scripting experience (Python, SQL, JMP, or similar) for large scale data analysis (machine learning or AI)
• Lead structured problem solving and drive cross team alignment
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Familiarity with defect metrology, inline monitoring, and yield excursion management
• Experience supporting NPI ramps and HVM yield sustainment in a factory environment

Behavioral Expectations

• Results driven with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with shifting priorities
• Able to influence without authority and align diverse stakeholders around data backed conclusions
• Committed to safety, quality, and continuous improvement

This role will require an on-site presence. Job posting details (such as work model, location or time type) are subject to change.
