Key Responsibilities

• Monitor and maintain product and process quality to ensure compliance with customer requirements and company standards.
• Lead 8D structured problem-solving teams to investigate final test yield drops, high retest rates, and customer quality returns (RMA).
• Implement strict controls to prevent mechanical damage (e.g., bent leads, cracked packages, electrostatic discharge damage) during automated handling.
• Preside over the Material Review Board (MRB) to isolate, evaluate, and dispose of non-conforming lots or chips flagged with unusual binning patterns.
• Continually review and update Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) documents based on real-time line failure data.
• Conduct routine process and workstation audits to maintain absolute alignment with ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 automotive quality standards.

• Possess at least Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related discipline.
• Deep practical understanding of APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, MSA, and 8D methodologies.
• 3+ years of experience in semiconductor backend quality engineering, specifically within IC final testing, or product engineering environments.
• Self-motivated and self-discipline.
• Proficiency communication skills and able to work independently and as a team player as well as interact with people at all levels.
