Job Description:

The ideal candidate will have expertise in advanced packaging technology, and ‘system in package’ assembly, including manufacturability and reliability issues with wide-ranging experience in semiconductor device fabrication and operation, test development and execution, reliability failure mechanisms and testing, assembly process development and qualification, and wafer foundry manufacturing operations. Can translate system-level performance requirements into modules and collaborate directly with external foundry R&D teams, OSATs to identify and/or jointly-develop candidate technologies.

Responsibilities include:

  • Technical lead for multi chip semiconductor assembly and system pathfinding for leading-edge artificial intelligence and high-performance computing modules.

  • Owns key portions of the advanced packaging and assembly, and system technology roadmap, and drives the development of new assembly technology from early R&D through new product introduction phases by close interaction with technical leads in system customer organizations and collaborating with internal IC design/validation teams and external foundry R&D groups.

  • Defines technology requirements and roadmaps, evaluation and qualification plans, and provides hands-on applications support as technology transitions from process R&D to product development.

  • Takes a leading role in advanced packaging technology problem solving, providing design and product enablement.

  • Serves as the internal principal investigator for new technology projects.

  • Capable of independent project management from concept phase through transfer to high-volume manufacturing, facilitating clear communication with external foundry & assembly collaborators, as well as internal design and validation teams throughout the project.

  • Performs risk assessment and help to coordinate cross-functional technology risk mitigation for multiple projects in parallel.

Key Qualifications:

  • Broad knowledge of advanced packaging, assembly and silicon process technologies, including thermal solutions, power delivery, and both electrical and optical communication

  • Experience with design of both serial and parallel interfaces both for chip-to-chip communication within module and for external module communication

  • Experience with parametric and yield data analysis. Proficiency with statistical data analysis tools

  • Experience with yield failure mechanisms and tools for root cause finding (EFA, PFA)

  • Experience with thermal and stress simulation tools

  • Exceptional data analysis, problem solving, and interpersonal skills

Education & Experience:

  • MSEE in Electrical Engineering or related field required and 15+ years of experience in semiconductor process technology, advanced packaging  and manufacturing, specifically R&D and integration roles, or PhD and 12+ years of experience in semiconductor process technology and manufacturing, specifically R&D and integration roles
