Job description

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.As a Quality Metro Real-time Defect Analysis (RDA) Engineer, you will be responsible for enabling robust quality monitoring, early detection, and rapid containment of quality risks across advanced packaging and NPI manufacturing environments.You will focus on leveraging RDA platforms, Statistical Process Control/ Fault Detection & Classification (SPC)/ (FDC) systems, automation, and data analytics to prevent escapes, accelerate learning, and improve product and process robustness, particularly during New Product Introduction (NPI), pilot, and early ramp phases. This role acts as a critical bridge between Quality, RDA, Process, Equipment, and NPI teams, ensuring quality requirements are embedded into monitoring strategies and operational execution.You will work closely with Site and Global Quality, Process Integration, Equipment Engineering, and Automation teams to drive quality-focused diagnostics, excursion management, and continuous improvement in a high-change, high-learning environment.Job Responsibilities:Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.Identify, Select, and Deliver Quality-Centric RDA Processes, Monitoring, and TechnologyDefine and sustain quality-focused monitoring strategies using RDA, SPC, FDC, and advanced analytics for advanced packaging processesIdentify critical quality signals, failure modes, and process sensitivities, particularly for NPI and new package introductionsTranslate quality risks and requirements into actionable RDA rules, alarms, dashboards, and control strategiesSupport early detection and prevention of quality excursions, yield detractors, and systemic risksPartner with Quality and Process teams to continuously refine monitoring thresholds and response strategies as NPI maturesEnsure quality considerations are embedded in new RDA capability deployments and automation enhancementsSupport Quality Readiness for NPI, Pilot, and Ramp-to- High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) TransitionsSupport quality readiness assessments for new tools, processes, and package types through RDA and data visibilityCollaborate with NPI, Process, and Equipment teams to ensure monitoring coverage for critical-to-quality (CTQ) parametersProvide data-driven insights to support NPI reviews, risk assessments, and ramp decisionsValidate monitoring effectiveness during pilot and early ramp phases and drive improvements as neededSupport containment, disposition, and recovery activities during NPI-related quality eventsDrive, Improve and Maintain Quality Metrics and Excursion Management EffectivenessMonitor and analyze quality-related metrics such as excursion rate, detection effectiveness, response time, and escape preventionSupport root cause investigations by providing high-quality data, trends, and diagnostic insights from RDA systemsEnsure accurate logging, documentation, and traceability of quality events and corrective actionsIdentify recurring quality issues and systemic gaps in monitoring or response mechanismsProactively escalate high-risk trends and quality concerns with clear data and impact assessmentCollaborating on Continuous Improvement and Quality System IntegrationPartner with Site and Global Quality teams to align RDA monitoring strategies with quality systems and standardsSupport continuous improvement initiatives focused on yield improvement, defect reduction, and robustness enhancementProvide operational and technical feedback on RDA solutions
