Defect Product Module Engineer

What you'll do

• Quantify the impact of specific defect types on final yield to reduce baseline defect density.
• Improve predictive models that correlate inline defects to final yield loss for early warning signals.
• Perform deep-dive characterization of defects using SEM, TEM, or EDX to link physical signatures to process failures.
• Serve as the primary subject matter expert for a specific manufacturing module to guide process and equipment engineers.
• Develop and execute strategic roadmaps to meet quarterly and annual yield improvement targets.
• Analyze large datasets using spatial and temporal analysis to identify causes of yield variation.
• Partner with integration and failure analysis teams to prioritize high-ROI defect improvements.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's Degree in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related STEM field.
• Broad semiconductor knowledge including material types, process tool theory of operations, and general manufacturing processes.
• Strong understanding of Design of Experiments (DOE) and ANOVA to validate yield improvement actions.
• Familiarity with Metrology tool models and capabilities for defect inspection and strategy selection.
• Expert proficiency in JMP, Spotfire, or Python is highly preferred for statistical modeling and data mining.
• Must be authorized to access information subject to U.S. export control laws.
