TL;DR

Samsung Austin Semiconductor seeks an experienced yield engineer to drive yield excellence in advanced semiconductor technologies, from development through high-volume manufacturing. This role involves deep expertise in yield analysis and defect characterization, requiring the candidate to own end-to-end yield performance across various test stages, perform data mining and statistical analysis, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to reduce variability and improve process windows. The engineer will apply statistical analysis, machine learning, and predictive modeling using Python, JMP, and SQL, while also leading root cause investigations and driving containment actions for yield excursions. Essential skills include a B.E., M.Sc., or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related fields, 5+ years of semiconductor experience, proficiency in coding and statistical software, and knowledge of advanced nodes and SRAM analysis techniques.
