• Technical Experience: 8+ years of direct experience in New Product Introduction (NPI), advanced packaging, semiconductor assembly/test, or high-tech electronics manufacturing. Familiarity with various Assembly Test Manufacturing (ATM) setups and end-to-end manufacturing flows is mandatory. Candidates must demonstrate relevant hands‑on experience in ATM operations, including factory start‑up, technology transfer, qualification, ramp, and high-volume manufacturing. A background in module integration is considered a major plus.
