Job summary

Samsung Austin Semiconductor seeks a highly analytical Yield and Process Control and Investigation (PCI) Engineer to monitor wafer manufacturing, drive yield enhancement and investigate excursions.

You will use SPC, defect inspection data and parametric testing to identify root causes, collaborate with Process, Equipment and Integration teams, and implement corrective actions. This role requires strong communication in a fast-paced, 24/7 cleanroom environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in a related field such as Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or Applied Physics.
• Understanding semiconductor device physics and CMOS fabrication processes (Lithography, Etch, Thin Films, CMP, Diffusion, Implant).
• Understanding electrical parametric testing and defect inspection mechanisms.
• Strong technical writing and presentation skills for communicating data to diverse audiences in a fast-paced cleanroom environment.

Responsibilities

• Monitor daily inline data, metrology, and defectivity trends to identify out-of-control or out-of-spec conditions across the fabrication line.
• Monitor, extract, and analyze electrical test data to ensure process stability and line health.
• Design scalable data pipelines to extract, clean, and structure ET data and develop automation apps.
• Develop and deploy Machine Learning models to autonomously scan datasets for anomalies and drift.
• Collaborate to develop and implement corrective and preventive actions to resolve process variations.
