Responsibilities

• Define, specify, qualify, install, support, and optimize test process and test equipment solutions for manufacturing without assistance.
• Lead test process optimization, focusing on productivity improvements such as cycle time and yield for a broad set of test equipment within an Operations value stream.
• Debug test process and equipment solutions using design of experiments, tools, and failure analysis methodologies.
• Collaborate with Quality, Process, and Equipment engineers to detect and solve product and test yield and performance issues.
• Develop improvement roadmaps for test coverage, diagnosability, reparability, test time reductions, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
• Analyze and interpret data from yield reports, equipment logs, and product diagnostics to determine sources of yield loss.
• Provide solution support to Process Engineers to improve detection of known defect types as part of a Process Control plan.
• Support the development of test equipment integration into Manufacturing Execution Systems, including yield, tester log, and product parametric information.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 1 to 3 years of relevant experience.

Skills
