2. Project Management

• Work with process and process integration team to implement and integrate new/improved process workflow

• Communicate process data and actions through meetings, presentations, and reports to management and monitor process stability through ongoing review of yield and quality performance metrics

3. Analysis

• Review reliability data and investigate the root cause if any failures on reliability

• Failure analysis to verify the cause if needed thru internal and external resources

• Review layout of product design structure for understanding and finding any issue related to design

4. Cooperation

• Interact and coordinate with product engineering team to resolve yield and quality issues

• Resolve action items on timely basis to meet product development goals

5. Maintenance

• Provide training and guidance to Junior Engineers or technicians as needed

• Maintain documentation for new and improved processes for reference purposes

Qualifications
