We are seeking an engineer to design, develop, integrate, and implement innovative and effective process solutions to improve next‑generation 3D NAND product yield and quality.

Responsibilities

• Identify and quantify key module deficiencies and technology gaps. Lead cross‑functional teams to address these issues. Improve current process flows and develop innovative solutions to meet product requirements and manufacturability.
• Develop or redefine CSPEC criteria for optimal product performance and drive activities to ensure manufacturing process capability.
• Coordinate activities at the manufacturing site to secure funding for experiments, conversions, and effectively communicate decisions to relevant R&D, Product Engineering, and Manufacturing partners.
• Undertake development projects to evaluate and implement new integration schemes for alpha and derivative part types. Establish proof of concept for future tech nodes at the manufacturing facility.
• Take a leadership role at quarterly yield summits and monthly program reviews to summarize complex problems, explain actions taken to address them, and align R&D, Manufacturing, and senior management teams.
• Assist in the transfer of new technology from R&D to manufacturing.
• Contribute to ensuring a successful ramp‑up and qualification. Support the transfer, documentation, and training of module fundamentals into manufacturing.

Must Have

• Passion in semiconductor technology and innovation.
• Adept at data analysis, problem‑solving, and process integration optimization.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in cross‑functional teams.
• Committed to quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to be self‑motivated, self‑governing, and proven in a demanding & dynamic environment.
• Ability to travel for extended periods to the U.S. for collaborative R&D work.

Requirements

• BS, MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Chemical Engineering, Material Science or a related field.
• Proficiency in scripting/programming/engineering/business intelligence/Analytics software, such as Python, SolidWorks, Tableau, Power BI, etc. is desirable.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in the semiconductor industry in Process Integration and Yield Enhancement.
• Ability to develop a strong holistic end‑to‑end understanding of particular PI modules on new NAND technologies and related structural & electrical fail mechanisms.
• In‑depth knowledge and direct experience with non‑volatile memories (NAND) along with a good understanding of the NAND process flow, the interaction of process & device, common yield & reliability issues are desirable.
• Exposure to R&D such as HKMG is desirable.
