Key Responsibilities 1. Quality Management * Monitor and maintain quality standards across wafer fabrication processes. * Develop and maintain quality documentation including Control Plans, PFMEA, SOPs, quality procedures, and audit records. * Ensure compliance with ISO 9001, customer requirements, and internal quality systems. Chair CRB (change request board) to review and make disposition on change request from foundry fabs. 2. Process Quality & Yield Improvement * Analyse foundry line yield loss, defect density, process capability, and quality metrics. * Drive continuous improvement projects (CIP) to reduce defects and improve manufacturing performance. * Monitor SPC charts and process control systems to identify drift to pro-actively prevent excursions and risks. 3. Problem Solving & Corrective Actions * Lead root cause analysis using (not limited to ) 8D, 5 Why, Fishbone, and statistical tools. * Investigate quality excursions (NC), wafer defects, customer complaints, and reliability failures. * Implement and verify CAPA effectiveness to prevent recurrence. 4. Customer Quality Management * Act as the primary interface between customers and manufacturing teams on quality-related issues. * Support customer audits, quality reviews, RMAs, NC, CAPA and corrective action reports. * Prepare customer quality reports and communicate quality performance metrics. 5. Reliability & Product Qualification * Support process qualification, technology transfer, and new process & product introduction activities. * Review reliability data and ensure products meet qualification requirements. * Participate in wafer fabrication change management and risk assessment activities. 6. Audits & Compliance * Conduct internal process audits and quality system audits. * Track corrective actions from audit findings through closure. * Maintain audit readiness for customers and certification bodies. Required Qualifications * Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related field. * 5 -10 years of experience in semiconductor wafer fabrication, foundry manufacturing, or semiconductor quality engineering. * Knowledge of FEOL and BEOL manufacturing processes. Technical Skills * Statistical Process Control (SPC), Failure Analysis (FA), FMEA / PFMEA, CAPA, 8D Problem Solving, DOE (Design of Experiments), Yield Analysis, Reliability Engineering, ISO 9001 (IATF 16949 an advantage) * Minitab, JMP, Excel, SQL (preferred) Preferred Experience * Semiconductor foundry or fab environments such as CMOS, RF, Mixed-Signal technologies, Silicon Photonics an added advantage. * Customer & foundry quality management and audit experience. * Technology transfer and process qualification projects. * Lean Six Sigma certification preferred.
