About The Position
FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM), is a leading provider of essential test and measurement technologies along the full semiconductor product life cycle — from characterization, modeling, reliability, and design de-bug, to qualification and production test. Semiconductor companies rely upon FormFactor’s products and services to accelerate profitability by optimizing device performance and advancing yield knowledge. The company serves customers through its network of facilities in Asia, Europe, and North America. Rooted in our core values — Focus on the Customer, Ownership & Accountability, Respectfully & Effectively Communicate, and Motivate & Develop People — we foster an environment where diverse perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated. Everyone can make an impact here. Whether it's improving products, supporting customers, or positively influencing peers and the community, the contributions of our people matter. The Senior Semiconductor Process & Integration Engineer is responsible for developing, optimizing, and sustaining semiconductor manufacturing processes across the full device fabrication flow. This role drives yield improvement, defect reduction, process integration, and technology transfer from development into high-volume manufacturing. The position requires strong cross-functional leadership, deep technical expertise in wafer fabrication, and a data-driven approach to continuous improvement.
