Job description

Lead a high-performing engineering team developing next-generation Automated Test Equipment (ATE) and EFEM software for semiconductor wafer testing. This role drives software architecture, execution timelines, and cross-functional integration with hardware, firmware, and systems engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and grow a team of 6–8 software engineers.
• Technical Roadmap: Define the software architecture for wafer prober control, instrument calibration, and data analytics.
• Project Delivery: Own end-to-end software development life cycles using Agile methodologies.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Align with hardware design, product marketing, and global manufacturing teams.
• Quality Assurance: Enforce robust code review, automated testing, and CI/CD pipeline standards.
• Defect Tracking & Root Cause Analysis: Identify, document, and track software anomalies; work closely with software developers and process engineers to isolate hardware vs. software failures.
• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated test execution directly into the software team's continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Education: Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Semiconductor Physics, Materials Science, or a related technical field.
• Experience: Demonstrated track record in semiconductor equipment software development, including prior experience leading or managing an engineering team.
• Programming & Scripting: Strong proficiency in Python, C++, or C# for automation scripting. Working knowledge of SECS/GEM and semi-standard protocols.
• System Knowledge: Proven experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS), motion control, and high-throughput data processing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working directly with semiconductor fab equipment or hardware simulation environments.
• Knowledge of computer vision libraries (e.g., OpenCV) or image processing analysis.
• Professional testing certifications such as ISTQB.
