Job description

Job Role

As an Optical inspection engineer you will provide technical and sustaining engineering support for the power semiconductor manufacturing line.

Responsibilities
  • Implement equipment and process modifications to improve production efficiencies, manufacturing techniques and production yields for existing products.
  • Lead defect identification, classification, and root cause analysis to determine physical and process-related failure modes impacting product quality and yield.
  • Manage Material Review Board (MRB) activities including defect dispositioning, hold management, and technical review of non-conforming materials to ensure proper corrective actions.
  • Perform Pareto analysis on defect data to prioritize improvement initiatives and drive systematic reduction of top defect modes across manufacturing operations.
  • Develop and conduct statistical analysis such as Design of Experiments (DOE) and Statistical Process Control (SPC) targeting physical cause of failure for yield loss and improving quality.
  • Coordinate failure analysis activities with internal labs and external vendors, interpreting results to identify defect mechanisms and implementing preventive measures.
  • Develop and maintain defect tracking systems and dashboards to monitor defect trends, escape rates, and effectiveness of corrective actions.
  • Communicate across teams: partner with product design and development, process, equipment and quality engineering to implement defect reduction strategies, design for manufacturability improvements, and inline inspection enhancements.
  • Provide technical expertise on defect metrology and inspection techniques including optical inspection, SEM analysis and other characterization methods relevant to semiconductor manufacturing.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering or applied science with 2‑5 years of relevant experience, or equivalent degree with relevant experience.
  • Experience with automated optical inspection tools.
  • Highly organized and detail oriented with the ability to manage multiple projects and use critical thinking to make sound decisions.
