Responsibilities

Develop, modify, and optimize manufacturing processes from engineering handoff through full‑scale production.
Provide hands‑on technical leadership for critical microelectronics processes, including wire bond, epoxy die attach, hermetic sealing, welding, lid attach, leak testing, and assembly.
Lead and facilitate DFM reviews, ensuring early and effective collaboration between design engineering and manufacturing.
Analyze process and test data to define operating limits, specifications, and control parameters.
Plan and execute DoEs, equipment capability studies, and support the introduction of new tools, fixtures, and automation technologies.
Support reliability engineering activities including material evaluations, component assessments, failure analysis support, and reliability improvement recommendations.
Lead and support continuous improvement initiatives focused on yield, scrap reduction, throughput, cost, and process stability.
Apply Lean, Six Sigma, and structured problem‑solving methods to eliminate waste and improve execution.
Support organization KPIs to monitor yield, rework, scrap, cycle time, and production readiness.
Coordinate cross‑functional efforts for new product introductions, engineering changes, and process improvement projects.
Ensure engineering documentation accurately reflects shop‑floor execution and drives execution discipline.
