Staff Product Yield Development Engineer

THE ROLE:

The Product Yield Engineering team seeks an experienced engineer to support the development and launch of high-quality AI, Graphics, CPU, APU, and custom design products. The primary objective is to optimize manufacturing costs and ensure timely market delivery. This role requires cross-functional collaboration with engineering, design, foundry, and data teams to resolve complex challenges, accelerate product ramp-up, and drive ongoing yield improvements.

THE PERSON:

• Strong AI-forward data science skills with experience in big data models, databases, and machine learning
• Direct experience in JMP or equivalent data analysis tools.
• Strong scripting capability including using AI to extract and automate complex data analysis
• An advanced degree in a related field may reduce the minimum experience requirement

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Manage product wafer costs, including yield and test content, to meet quality and yield targets
• Analyze yield metrics to forecast supply and product performance
• Implement best practices for test and characterization
• Use diagnostics and failure analysis to reduce defects in foundry environments
• Collaborate with internal and external foundry teams to identify and implement process improvements
• Engage with engineering and business units to define and achieve program requirements for defectivity, power, performance, reliability, and quality

PREFERRED EXPERIENCES:

• Experience in process technology or product development, preferably with leading-edge foundries, assembly, and test operations.
• Understanding of functional and design-for-test methodologies, structures, and practices
• Technical expertise in the productization of new and advanced technologies
• Knowledge of leading edge (FinFET, GAA, etc.) semiconductor device physics
• Semiconductor manufacturing experience

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science or a related degree in Math, Sciences, or Statistics
