Senior Quality Process & ML Engineer

Semtech; Burlington; On-site; CAD 95,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Semtech’s Product Quality Engineering team is seeking a Senior Quality Process Development Engineer to design, validate, and scale statistical and machine-learning systems that underpin wafer-quality processes. You will work with tool software partners and internal teams to define specs, develop detection capabilities, and integrate patterns into production systems.

You will build learned models from engineer-labeled data, support risk assessment, and contribute to documentation and knowledge

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics or related field required; Master’s or PhD preferred.
• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, applied statistics, or data science, with a track record of shipping production statistical or machine-learning systems.
• Strong foundation in applied statistics, including outlier and anomaly detection, multiple-comparison correction, and hypothesis testing on production or sensor data.
• Hands-on experience building and deploying machine learning classification models, including training on labeled data and handling out-of-distribution/novel-category detection.
• Proficiency in Python for data analysis and ML model development, and strong SQL or equivalent skills for working with large structured production datasets.

Responsibilities

• Design and build statistical and algorithmic detection tools for wafer probe data with quality infrastructure.
• Develop learned pattern-recognition models to classify wafer-level failure patterns and support risk reporting.
• Create relationship-analysis and reporting layers to reconcile outputs into distinct issues with contextualization.
• Identify AI process improvement initiatives within quality engineering teams.
• Collaborate with AI development teams to validate performance against production fab lots and produce knowledge-transfer materials.
