Job Responsibilities
Process Development & Optimization
- You'll own the development and optimization of dry processes including film deposition and etching for advanced packaging solutions.
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to lead innovations in deposition & etching and their implementation efforts
Equipment & Tooling Support
- Active part of defining deposition and etching equipment specifications and validating tools.
- Work with supplier teams to monitor and maintain tool performance.
Yield & Quality Improvement
- Implement and refine process monitoring techniques and defect inspection, to proactively investigate and resolve issues with dry processes.
Process Integration
- Collaborate with upstream and downstream process owners (e.g., lithography, plating, wet processes, metrology) to ensure seamless integration.
- Support the development of process flows for advanced packaging substrates.
Data Analysis & Documentation
- Perform statistical analysis (e.g., DOE, SPC) to identify and control critical process parameters. Experience with data analysis software packages (such as MATLAB, Python, SQL, JMP)
- Document standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and control plans.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with design, product engineering, equipment vendors, and manufacturing teams to support process scale-up and new product introduction (NPI).
- Assist with customer qualifications and reliability testing as needed.
Perform any other ad-hoc duties as assigned by the Manager, as required to support the team and organizational goals.
