Key responsibilities

• Metrology tool support (AOI/Review): Support recipe writing, robustness, matching checks, and monitoring plans across darkfield/brightfield/SEM/Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) platforms
• Excursion response: Support defect excursion investigations, including data pull/analysis, containment documentation, and disposition support for discrepant material
• Defect data analytics: Review and classify defect data, identify trends, generate reports, and communicate results to Engineering and Management
• Containment and corrective actions: Collaborate with Engineering and partner teams to implement containment and corrective actions and communicate defect/quality risks
• Procedures and documentation: Execute OCAPs and actions to contain excursions; write excursion reports and lot disposition documentation
• Technical writing / change documentation: Revise specifications, write TECNs, and maintain defect-of-interest libraries
• Problem solving: Develop resolutions to complex problems that require creativity and sound judgment
• Cross-functional collaboration: Work with cross-functional teams to improve fab quality and operational stability

Required skills

• Ability to collect and write detailed technical reports; analyze data; identify defects/trends; and support containment/corrective/preventive actions
