• Manage engineering projects aligned with High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) yield roadmaps to meet performance and device targeting goals.
• Collaborate with the Technology Development group to innovate new device technologies, customize device architectures based on client demands, and transition developments into production fabs.
• Engage or lead multidisciplinary engineering groups to diagnose device-related yield or performance issues and define corrective strategies to fulfill production yield/performance commitments.
• Oversee New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts in production fabs and optimize device-related processes to align with foundry customer specifications.
• Create predictive models of device performance during early to mid silicon development phases to maintain consistent baseline performance.
• Partner with Process Integration engineers to simplify processes and execute cost reduction initiatives inline.

Required Qualifications and Skills

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Device Physics, Electronics, Physics, Chemistry, or a related technical discipline.
• 5 to 10 years of experience in the semiconductor industry focused on advanced node devices or FEOL/BEOL integration.
• Experience spanning 5 to 10 years with FinFET technology development or high-volume manufacturing environments.
• Hands-on experience with Device Physics applied in real semiconductor fab settings.
• Proven ability to rapidly analyze and resolve complex process issues.
• Strong teamwork and partnership capabilities to collaborate effectively across disciplines.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills to convey technical information clearly and influence decisions.
• Self-driven and capable of working independently as well as part of a team.
• Adaptability to shifting priorities, displaying maturity and flexibility under uncertainty.
• Strong commitment to ambitious objectives with a proactive, urgent approach.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced education such as a Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Materials Science.
• Experience steering product performance roadmaps collaboratively with Process, Integration, and Yield teams.
• Demonstrated leadership in transferring processes to High Volume Manufacturing, solving integrated product yield/performance challenges.
• Proficient interpersonal skills including influencing and motivating diverse teams.
• Experience engaging with external foundry customers through technical collaboration.
• Familiarity with GAA (Gate-All-Around) technology architecture and new semiconductor technology development initiatives.
• Basic knowledge and collaborative experience with module processes such as lithography, dry/wet etch, CMP, diffusion, implant, thin films, and metrology.
