Location: San Jose
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Industrial, Process & Manufacturing Engineering
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Own daily monitoring of wafer, CoWoS assembly, and final test yield across NPI, production ramp, and high-volume manufacturing.
  • •Define, track, and communicate silicon manufacturing KPIs (wafer yield, package yield, final test yield, yield ramp velocity, excursion response time, and corrective-action closure).
  • •Identify yield excursions and emerging production risks; coordinate containment, material disposition/recovery, and escalation as needed.
  • •Analyze wafer maps, parametric data, sort/final test results, assembly yield, and manufacturing data to isolate yield-loss mechanisms and improvement opportunities.
  • •Lead cross-functional yield reviews with foundry, OSAT, product engineering, test engineering, package engineering, failure analysis, and quality; drive corrective actions through verified closure.

Perks:Health InsuranceDentalVisionRelocation SupportHousing SubsidyMeal Allowance

Key Requirements

  • •7+ years of experience in semiconductor yield engineering, product engineering, manufacturing engineering, or silicon operations, including ownership of yield during production ramp or high-volume manufacturing.
  • •Deep understanding of semiconductor manufacturing from wafer fabrication through wafer sort, advanced packaging, and final test.
  • •Hands-on experience managing yield performance with leading-edge foundry and OSAT partners; CoWoS/2.5D/3D integration strongly preferred.
  • •Demonstrated success detecting, containing, and resolving complex yield excursions while protecting production output and customer commitments.
  • •Strong statistical yield analysis skills, including SPC, Pareto analysis, hypothesis testing, DOE, process capability, and root-cause analysis.
