Senior Microelectronics Process Engineer

About the role

The Role
Paradromics is seeking a Microelectronics Process Engineer to join the Process Engineering team in Austin, TX. This role will own and improve in-house backend microfabrication and microelectronics assembly processes that are critical to delivering reliable, high-performance medical devices. The ideal candidate is hands-on, data-driven, and comfortable taking full ownership of manufacturing processes from development through production.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain in-house backend microfabrication and microelectronics assembly processes, including wire bonding, flip chip bonding, solder bumping, underfill/epoxy dispensing, reflow, and related SMT processes.
• Maintain in-house testing protocols, ensuring accurate functional and parametric characterization of devices and subcomponents.
• Drive yield, quality, and cycle-time improvements through structured process improvement initiatives, including DOE and root cause analysis.
• Lead efforts to bring currently outsourced microelectronics assembly processes in-house where feasible.
• Investigate, document, and disposition non-conformances related to owned processes.
• Collaborate closely with design, quality, and supply chain teams to support product development, scaling, and process transfer.

Required Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of hands-on experience with backend microfabrication and/or SMT processes (e.g., wire bonding, flip chip bonding, epoxy/flux dispensing, solder bumping, reflow).
• Demonstrated experience owning manufacturing processes, writing operations procedures, and driving measurable yield improvements.
• Strong data analysis skills, including data extraction, statistical analysis, and visualization.
• Familiarity with Python for Data Analysis and automated electrical tests.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to work effectively with design, reliability, and operations teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience transferring processes from R&D to production or bringing outsourced processes in-house.
• Prior experience using Oscilloscopes, Source meters, Multi-meter and Signal Generators for testing electrical components.
• Experience applying structured problem-solving methodologies such as DOE, 8D, 5-Why, or Ishikawa analysis.
• Knowledge of industry standards such as IPC, JEDEC, and MIL-STD related to microelectronics assembly and testing.
• Experience in regulated industries, particularly medical devices.
