TL;DR · Device Engineer

JOB TITLE: Device Engineer The Device Engineer joins the Yield Analysis & Improvement team to maximize semiconductor manufacturing efficiency and product quality. This staff-level role owns end-to-end yield performance across wafer sort, parametric, and final testing. The engineer identifies yield limiters by developing automated analytics pipelines and performing advanced data mining to correlate electrical failures with inline defect data. Key responsibilities include collaborating with Process Integration, Module, and Design teams to optimize process windows, reduce variability, and resolve layout-dependent issues. The role requires leading root cause investigations, defining yield roadmaps, and mentoring junior engineers. Candidates must utilize Python, SQL, and JMP for statistical analysis and machine learning. The work focuses on FinFET or Gate-All-Around architectures, addressing complex defects and ensuring manufacturability during technology launch and mass production ramps.

What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end yield performance across wafer sort, parametric, and final testing.
  • Perform advanced data mining and statistical analysis to identify and address yield limiters.
  • Develop automated analytics pipelines and predictive models using Python, SQL, and JMP.
  • Collaborate with process integration and module teams to reduce variability and optimize process windows.
  • Lead root cause investigations and corrective actions for yield excursions using structured problem-solving.
  • Partner with Failure Analysis teams to correlate physical defects with electrical signatures.
  • Define the long-term yield roadmap, KPIs, and improvement strategies.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide yield health insights to executive leadership.

What we're looking for

  • B.E., M.Sc., or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in semiconductor yield or process integration (preferred).
  • Direct experience at a leading-edge fab focusing on FinFET or Gate-All-Around (GAA) architectures.
  • Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics, wafer fabrication, and transistor performance.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor processes including Lithography, Etch, CMP, and PVD/CVD.
  • Coding skills for data manipulation using Python and SQL.
  • Proficiency in statistical analysis software such as Spotifre, JMP, and related Python libraries.
  • Authorization to access information subject to U.S. export control laws.
