🔬 Semiconductor Manufacturing | Yield Engineering | Data Analytics

About the role

We’re hiring a
Yield Development Engineer
to support advanced semiconductor manufacturing and packaging operations through data-driven yield improvement initiatives.

This role focuses on analysing manufacturing and test data, identifying root causes of yield issues, and driving process improvements across complex production environments.

You’ll work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and integration teams to improve product quality, manufacturing efficiency, and production performance.

What you’ll do

  • Analyse manufacturing, process, and test data to improve production yield

  • Investigate yield loss issues and identify root causes

  • Develop data-driven solutions to improve manufacturing performance

  • Monitor yield metrics and support real-time issue resolution

  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering and operations teams

  • Prepare reports and communicate findings to technical stakeholders

  • Support process optimisation across advanced semiconductor packaging technologies

What we’re looking for

  • Degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry, or related field

  • Experience in semiconductor manufacturing, packaging, or yield engineering

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Experience with Python, JMP, or data analysis tools

  • Familiarity with data science libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch beneficial

  • Understanding of manufacturing processes, process flows, and yield analysis

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Nice to have

  • Experience with wafer-level or package assembly manufacturing

  • Cross-functional project or stakeholder management experience

  • Background in advanced manufacturing environments

What’s offered

  • Competitive salary, bonus, and stock opportunities

  • Comprehensive healthcare and retirement benefits

  • Opportunity to work on advanced semiconductor technologies

  • High-impact engineering role within a fast-paced manufacturing environment

Practice Questions

💡Technical Questions (3)
  • 1.How would you approach identifying the root cause of a sudden, significant drop in yield at a specific wafer-level test step?
  • 2.Can you describe how you have used Python and data science libraries like Pandas or Scikit-learn to analyze manufacturing test data and drive process improvements?
  • 3.What are the key differences and unique yield challenges you have encountered between wafer-level fabrication and advanced semiconductor packaging?
🎯Behavioral Questions (3)
  • 1.Tell me about a time you investigated a complex yield loss issue and successfully identified the root cause in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • 2.Describe a situation where you had to communicate complex technical findings to non-technical stakeholders or operations teams to get buy-in for a process change.
  • 3.Give an example of a time you collaborated with cross-functional engineering teams to improve manufacturing performance. How did you handle differing priorities?
🧩Situational Questions (2)
  • 1.You are monitoring real-time yield metrics and notice a slight but steady decline in yield over the last three shifts, but no specific alarms have been triggered on the production floor. What do you do?
  • 2.You have identified a process optimization that could improve yield by 2%, but it requires a change that will temporarily slow down production throughput by 5% for a week. How do you handle this?
