Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced yield engineer to drive yield excellence across advanced semiconductor technologies, from development through high-volume manufacturing. This role requires deep expertise in yield analysis, defect characterization, and cross-functional problem solving to accelerate yield ramp.

Role and Responsibilities

Here's What You'll Be Responsible For:

• Yield Analysis & Improvement
  • Own end-to-end yield performance across wafer sort, parametric test, and final test
  • Perform advanced data mining and statistical analysis to identify yield limiters and drive improvement actions
  • Generate yield detractors and correlate yield to electrical, inline, and defect data
• Process & Technology Optimization
  • Collaborate with process integration and module teams to reduce variability and improve process windows
  • Define and execute defect reduction strategies. Partner with Module and Process Integration engineers to solve complex critical defect issues.
  • Support technology launch, ramp, and transfer across nodes and fab

• Root Cause & Failure Analysis
  • Lead root cause investigations using structured problem-solving methodologies
  • Partner with FA teams (EFA/PFA) to correlate physical defects with electrical signatures
  • Collaborate with Design and Product teams to ensure manufacturability and resolve layout-dependent yield issues before mass production ramp.
  • Drive containment and corrective actions for yield excursions
• Data Science & Modeling
  • Apply statistical analysis, machine learning, and predictive modeling to yield datasets
  • Develop automated analytics pipelines (Python, JMP, SQL)
  • Develop and maintain sophisticated yield models
• Yield Management
  • Define yield roadmap, KPIs, and improvement strategy
  • Lead task forces for major yield excursions
  • Mentor junior engineers and establish best practices
  • Interface with executive leadership on yield health and risks

Skills and Qualifications

Here's what you'll need:

• B.E. M.Sc., or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Applied Physics, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor yield or process integration.
• Foundry Background: Direct experience at a leading-edge fab focusing on FinFET or Gate-All-Around (GAA) architectures.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics, wafer fabrication, and transistor performance and semiconductor process (Lithography, Etch, CMP, PVD/CVD).
• Coding skills for data manipulation (Python, SQL).
• Proficiency in statistical analysis software (Spotifre, JMP, Related python library).
• Experience with advanced nodes (< 3nm).
• Proactive and organized with excellent verbal and written communication skills for reporting to "home teams" and global stakeholders.
• Cross-functional leadership and communication
• Strong business acumen (yield cost cycle time)
• Knowledge of SRAM and Vmin analysis and bit-mapping techniques.

The current base salary range for this role is between $92,000 - $206,000. Individual base pay rates will depend on factors including duties, work location, education, skills, qualifications and experience. Total compensation for this position will include a competitive benefits package and may include participation in company incentive compensation programs, which are based on factors to include organizational and individual performance.
