Job description

The Quality Staff Engineer will drive product quality initiatives during the new product development stage, with a focus on ensuring robust integration of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and maintaining high quality standards. This role will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including process integration, manufacturing, R&d, and suppliers to deliver world-class product reliability and performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead quality assurance efforts for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, modules and incoming components, including qualification, reliability testing, failure analysis, and yield improvement.
• Oversee and contribute to semiconductor equipment/machine integration projects, ensuring seamless process integration and compliance with quality requirements.
• Drive quality initiatives during new product development (NPD/NPI), from design phase through volume production ramp‑up.
• Collaborate with process engineering, fabrication, and integration teams to establish and monitor quality metrics (e.g., SPC, defect reduction, KPI achievement).
• Conduct root cause analysis for quality issues, implement corrective actions, and support customer complaint resolution (e.g., RMA, field returns).
• Collaborate with Field Service Engineers on machine field performance and continuous improvement projects.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to cross‑functional process improvements.
• Travel to manufacturing sites, suppliers, or customer locations as needed to support integration, audits, or troubleshooting.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in quality engineering within the semiconductor industry.
• Strong quality background, including experience with statistical process control (SPC), 8D/problem‑solving methodologies, and Six Sigma practices.
• Proven experience in semiconductor machine/equipment integration (e.g., process tool qualification, integration into fab lines).
• Hands‑on experience in new product development/introduction (NPD/NPI), including characterization (CTQ, Critical parameters), qualification (test development, MSA, etc.), and transfer to production (Work instructions, SOP, Inspection instruction, etc.).
• Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally (up to 30% as needed).
• Excellent analytical skills, with proficiency in data analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab) and semiconductor‑specific processes.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a fast‑paced environment.
