Defect Metrology Process Devleopment Engineer
About The Position
SkyWater is seeking a Defect Metrology Process Engineer for its Florida Advanced Packaging site. The engineer will lead, develop, and improve automated optical inspection (AOI) and metrology processes for integrated advanced packaging process flows and heterogeneous integration platform technologies, including hybrid bonding and direct bond interconnect (DBI), 2.5D and 3D interposer, and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP). The role requires excellent oral and written communication to convey ideas to foundry customers, colleagues, and management. The position supports metrology across multiple fab areas, including thickness and defect measurements, inspection of pillar heights and locations, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and profilometry. The engineer reviews defects and statistical process control (SPC) data, investigates process issues, coordinates with engineering groups, and drives integration changes and yield improvements. Other duties may be assigned.
Requirements
