Experienced Defect Control Engineer

What you'll do

• Identify and classify defect excursions using advanced metrology tools to determine morphology and distribution.
• Lead deep-dive investigations to isolate specific tools, process steps, or materials causing unknown defect sources.
• Chair "War Room" meetings with cross-functional engineers to drive containment strategies and accelerate time-to-source.
• Develop and validate SOP enhancements for Shift Technicians to ensure rapid containment and correct decision-making.
• Document defect signatures, image databases, and failure modes to build a robust knowledge base for recurring issues.
• Partner with Unit Process owners to implement corrective actions and factory-wide strategies to prevent defect reoccurrence.
• Collaborate with Metrology and Defect Engineering to ensure statistical process limits are appropriate and flag concerns.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s of Science in Engineering or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in a semiconductor or quality management role.
• Familiarity with Structured Problem Solving (SPS) and methods of identifying defect root causes.
• Experience in Quality Control Systems and Methods such as Six Sigma, SPC, QMS, or ISO 9000.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams to identify, contain, and eradicate defect excursions.
• Experience using advanced metrology tools like KLA-Tencor or AMAT.
• Ability to develop and validate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for shift technicians.
• Ability to document defect signatures, image databases, and failure modes to create a knowledge base.
