  • Own end-to-end technology integration into products, including risk assessment and mitigation.
  • Develop and maintain packaging design rules aligned with manufacturing and reliability constraints.
  • Serve as the technical interface to OSATs, leading technology transfer and qualification.
  • Drive yield, quality, throughput, and reliability improvements.
  • Lead failure analysis, root cause resolution, and reliability learning.
  • Support customer NPQ, RMA analysis, and direct customer technical communication.
  • Explore and evaluate future 2.5D packaging technologies.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in mechanical, Materials, Chemical, or Electrical Engineering; PhD preferred.
  • 10+ years’ experience in semiconductor packaging, preferably RF modules / SiP.
  • Demonstrated ownership across technology development, NPI, HVM, and customer support.
  • Hands-on experience in wafer pre-assembly / wafer BE, including Cu pillar or micro-bump bumping, wafer singulation, and die sort.
  • Demonstrated ability to debug and resolve wafer-level yield, die integrity, and reliability issues.
  • Strong understanding of packaging materials, process interactions, failure mechanisms, and reliability.
  • Hands-on experience with tier-1 foundries and OSATs.
  • Working knowledge of industry standards (IPC, JEDEC, IEEE, ISO, ANSI).
  • Experience in qualification, reliability testing, and failure analysis.
  • Solid foundation in statistics, SPC, and FMEA.
  • Strong cross-functional communication and leadership skills.
  • Willingness to travel internationally (~once per quarter).
