About the role

  • This role sits at the intersection of quality engineering and process engineering - combining deep technical knowledge of semiconductor packaging with structured problem-solving to eliminate chronic open corrective actions.
  • Your technical credibility in semiconductor packaging will enable you to influence cross-functional teams, facilitate collaborative problem-solving sessions, and ensure corrective actions address true root causes rather than symptoms.
  • Over time, this role may also contribute to quality system auditing as the team scales.

Responsibilities

  • Own and drive closure of 70+ open corrective action reports (CARs) across engineering, operations, maintenance, and systems engineering through technical problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration
  • Lead cross-functional CAR review sessions, bringing together relevant stakeholders to solve problems comprehensively rather than superficially
  • Design and execute Design of Experiments (DOE) to identify root causes of process variability and validate corrective actions
  • Support qualification and validation of chip-scale packaging processes including flip chip, wafer-level CSP, die attach, molding, and plating operations
  • Perform Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and Gage R&R studies to validate inspection and test equipment capability
  • Support new product introduction (NPI) through process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), first article inspection (FAI), and production readiness activities

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related technical field
  • 5+ years of quality engineering experience in semiconductor backend assembly or microelectronics packaging
  • Direct hands-on experience with chip-scale packaging technologies including flip chip, wafer-level CSP, or advanced packaging processes
  • Demonstrated expertise in 8D methodology, root cause analysis (5-Why, fishbone, fault tree), and structured problem-solving
  • Working knowledge of AIAG Core Tools: PFMEA, Control Plans, MSA, PPAP, and APQP
  • Master's degree in Materials Science, Engineering, or related technical field
  • Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification
  • Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) or Certified Quality Auditor (CQA) from ASQ
  • ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 Lead Auditor certification
  • Experience with wafer fabrication processes (etch, PVD, lithography, thin films) to support packaging integration
  • Direct experience with flip chip bumping, redistribution layer (RDL) processes, or advanced wafer-level packaging
  • Supplier quality experience with OSATs (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) or foundries
  • Familiarity with automotive (IATF 16949), aerospace (AS9100), or medical device (ISO 13485) quality standards
  • Experience with reliability testing including temperature cycling, HAST, HTOL, and failure analysis techniques
  • Knowledge of semiconductor metrology and characterization techniques (SEM, X-ray, C-SAM, profilometry)
  • Advanced DOE expertise including fractional factorial, response surface methodology, and Taguchi methods

Skills

  • Experience with ISO 9001 or equivalent quality management systems
  • Proficiency with statistical analysis software (Minitab, JMP, or equivalent) and Microsoft Office suite
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to influence across organizational levels

Compensation

  • A reasonable estimate of the pay range for this position is $ 75,000 to $115,000 USD.
