Position Overview

The incumbent supports the development and manufacturing of Optical Interposer products by improving yield and performance. The role focuses on data-driven defect analysis, root-cause resolution, and collaboration with internal teams and fabrication partners to ensure high-quality, reliable, and manufacturable optical engine designs.

Responsibilities

Design and develop Optical Interposer products with a focus on yield and performance optimization.
Lead yield improvement and defect reduction initiatives across optical engine designs.
Conduct data analysis, problem characterization, and root-cause fault isolation for yield-related issues using commonality analysis, regression analysis, and systematic DMAIC problem-solving approaches.
Define and document failure modes, material impact, and fallout percentages to support corrective actions.
Monitor, track, organize, and present yield data from fabrication partners.
Implement checklists, guidelines, and lessons learned documentation to support ongoing yield-improvement activities.
Perform yield correlation and failure-analysis work (electrical, optical, physical) and support additional engineering tasks as assigned .

Qualifications & Requirements

Education & Experience: Bachelor's or Master's degree with at least 5 years of experience in a process integration role, specializing in yield improvement, preferably in optoelectronics or semiconductor manufacturing.
Technical Expertise: Strong foundation in semiconductor physics and engineering fundamentals, with a good understanding of mechanical, electrical, and thermal failure mechanisms. Proficiency in statistical analysis tools (e.g., JMP) and experience with commonality analysis, regression analysis, or systematic DMAIC problem-solving approaches. Experience with Python programming for engineering data analysis and automation is an added advantage.
Yield Enhancement & Certification: Experience in yield enhancement, defect reduction, or process improvement roles is preferred. Lean Six Sigma certification is an added advantage.
