Job description

About the role This role is responsible for end-to-end ownership of both process and equipment performance for Die Bond and Wire Bond stations in a Reel-to-Reel (R2R) semiconductor assembly line. The engineer plays a critical role in ensuring high equipment uptime, process stability, yield improvement, and quality excellence in a high-volume manufacturing environment. The position requires strong technical hands-on capability, data-driven problem solving, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams. The engineer will act as a key technical owner, driving continuous improvement, supporting new product introductions, and implementing robust controls to prevent process and equipment-related failures.

What You Will Do

• Own and sustain Die Attach and Wire Bond processes and equipment, ensuring stable operation, high OEE, and compliance with process specifications.
• Manage tooling setup, calibration, alignment, and qualification activities.
• Provide daily process and equipment support to production lines to ensure smooth operations and lot transitions.
• Conduct DOE, FMEA, and root cause analysis to resolve yield and quality issues such as die tilt, voids, ball offset, wire lift, and non-stick.
• Optimize bonding parameters and validate process capability (Cpk) for new and existing products.
• Lead new product introduction (NPI), including setup, conversion, and buy-off for new products and material changes.
• Analyze equipment performance and process data (UPH, yield, downtime, alarms) using Spotfire, Power BI, Excel, or equivalent tools.
• Drive continuous improvement and cost reduction projects to enhance productivity, reduce scrap, and improve process robustness.
• Implement digital controls and interlocks (recipe management, alarm limits, auto-locks) to prevent human and equipment-related errors.
• Collaborate with QA, Production, Engineering, and Design teams to ensure process reliability and customer compliance.
• Document process procedures, SOPs, setup guides, and troubleshooting standards.
• Provide technical training and mentoring to technicians and operators.
• Prepare and present weekly reports on yield, performance, and improvement actions to management.

What You Will Need

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or related disciplines).
• 2-3 years of hands-on experience in Die Bond and/or Wire Bond process and equipment support within semiconductor backend manufacturing.
• Strong understanding of R2R assembly lines and high-volume production environments.
• Hands-on experience in equipment setup, calibration, troubleshooting, and optimization.
• Knowledge of DOE, FMEA, SPC, 8D, and structured problem-solving methods.
• Ability to analyze manufacturing data using Excel, Spotfire, Power BI, or similar tools.
• Solid understanding of OEE, yield improvement, and process capability (Cpk).
• Experience supporting NPI, product conversion, and material qualification.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and able to thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
