As a Defect Engineer within the Wireless Semiconductor Division, you will play a critical role in identifying, analyzing, and minimizing defectivity within the FBAR filter fabrication process. You will manage the visual control plan, establish technology baselines using advanced metrology data, and perform root cause analysis to pinpoint failing tools or processes. Your daily work involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to characterize defects, authoring Out-of-Control Action Plans, and mentoring staff on material disposition. To succeed, you must possess expertise in semiconductor fabrication modules like photo, etch, and deposition. The role requires proficiency in Klarity defect analysis software, Statistical Process Control, and JMP for data analysis. Advanced candidates may utilize Python, SQL, and Spotfire to automate reporting and develop interactive dashboards while addressing complex manufacturing problems within the high-volume wafer fabrication environment.
