TL;DR · Staff Foundry Product Engineer

The Staff Foundry Product Engineer joins the Foundry Product Engineering team to serve as a strategic leader at the intersection of fabrication and customer application. This role involves spearheading the evaluation of next-generation products, overseeing engineering margins, and optimizing wafer sort evaluations to ensure seamless transition from the fab to the global market. Key responsibilities include architecting failure analysis workflows, developing yield learning models, and isolating root causes for complex silicon issues. The position requires expertise in SCAN/SRAM diagnostics, physical failure confirmation, and ATE fundamentals including Wafer Sort, DFT, EFA, and Characterization. Candidates must utilize statistical analysis tools like JMP or Spotfire to interpret STDF and parametric data. The work focuses on driving yield robustness and operational efficiency for advanced semiconductor process technologies.

What you'll do

  • Lead edge product and technology development based on Samsung’s innovative processes.
  • Oversee engineering margins and optimize wafer sort evaluations for next-generation products.
  • Architect sophisticated failure analysis workflows and develop advanced yield learning models.
  • Perform SCAN/SRAM diagnostics and physical failure confirmation to drive yield robustness.
  • Isolate root causes and resolve complex silicon issues using CP, WAT, and ATE data.
  • Transform complex data into actionable countermeasures to improve operational efficiency.
  • Ensure seamless transition of process technologies from the fabrication facility to the global market.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • Solid foundation in semiconductor/device physics and circuit fundamentals (Electrical Engineering degree preferred).
  • Understanding of ATE fundamentals and test methodology including Wafer Sort, DFT, EFA, Characterization, and Shmoo.
  • Statistical analysis and data literacy including STDF/parametric data analysis, CPK, and JMP/Spotfire experience.
  • Structured debug and root-cause troubleshooting mindset to build yield learning models and differentiate failure types.
  • Cross-functional communication and technical ownership to provide data-driven, actionable feedback to internal teams.
