About The Position

The Device Integration Engineer drives factory production of transistor and discrete electronic devices that meet defined specifications. The role collaborates with Module, Integration, and Yield engineers to modify processes and meet quality, reliability, cost, yield, and performance requirements. It controls end-of-line quality metrics to screen and disposition material before sort and class testing, and performs extensive analysis to identify root causes of discrepant device performance. The engineer continuously improves quality, reliability, cost, and yield by working through Integration and Module engineers on targeting, variability reduction, and containment of poorly performing line segments. The position applies solid-state physics, statistics, and formal problem-solving methods to challenging technical problems; identifies improvement opportunities and drives implementation; and communicates technical reasoning, project timelines, and support needs to senior leaders. It also engages with product, assembly test, technology development, and other teams to implement process improvements.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Material Science, or a related STEM field and at least 2 years of relevant semiconductor industry experience; alternatively, a Master of Science in one of these fields or a related STEM field.
Highly motivated, with leadership qualities.
Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work collaboratively toward organizational goals.
Collaborative and inclusionary mindset.
Strong written and verbal communication skills to influence groups at all organizational levels.
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
Ability to set goals and achieve them on schedule.
Ability to tolerate ambiguity and adjust priorities in a rapidly changing, fast-paced environment.
Ability to develop creative solutions to challenging problems.
Ability to effectively run meetings and communicate progress to senior leaders.

Nice To Haves
