About the role

The engineer serves as a senior technical resource connecting fab process performance to device and product yield. The role works cross-functionally with Process Engineering, Equipment Engineering, Process Integration, Product/Test Engineering, Failure Analysis, Quality, and Manufacturing to improve yield, reduce variability, and accelerate resolution of complex manufacturing problems. Are you ready to join our team and shape the future with us? Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related technical discipline
  • Significant engineering experience in semiconductor wafer fabrication, preferably involving yield, process integration, process engineering, product engineering, or device engineering
  • Strong understanding of semiconductor wafer fabrication processes and the relationship between process variation, device characteristics, defects, and electrical yield
  • Demonstrated ability to perform statistical analysis and solve complex manufacturing problems using large manufacturing datasets
  • Experience with statistical/data-analysis tools such as JMP, or comparable platforms
  • Working knowledge of SPC, DOE, process capability, correlation/regression, hypothesis testing, and structured root-cause analysis
More about this role

The Senior Wafer Fab Yield Engineer is responsible for driving systematic yield improvement across semiconductor wafer fabrication. This position analyzes manufacturing, inline metrology, defect, wafer-level electrical test, and process data to identify yield-loss mechanisms, determine root causes, and lead implementation of sustainable corrective actions.
