            Build predictive models for early detection of yield excursions.

            Develop automated data analysis workflows to accelerate technical learning cycles.

            Translate raw data into defensible, physics-based conclusions.

________________________________________

Wafer Process & Device Integration

            Analyze interactions between epitaxy, lithography, etch, deposition, metallization, inspection (AVI), and electrical/optical test steps.

            Identify how upstream variability propagates into final device performance.

            Provide Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) input during new product development.

            Reduce process sensitivity through structured experimentation and device-level insight.

________________________________________

New Product Introduction (NPI)

            Own yield performance during new product ramp from development into high-volume manufacturing.

            Conduct structured technical risk assessments.

            Rapidly identify and mitigate yield sensitivities during early production.

            Shorten yield learning cycles using disciplined experimentation and data-driven decisions.

Customer & External Technical Engagement

            Serve as a primary technical interface for key customers on yield, device performance, and reliability topics.

            Present complex technical findings clearly and confidently to customer engineering and quality teams.

            Lead technical discussions during customer audits and yield reviews.

            Support joint root cause investigations and corrective action plans.

            Translate internal manufacturing data into customer-relevant performance metrics.

            Build customer trust through clear, physics-based explanations of device behavior and variability.
