• Create, qualify, and enhance semiconductor package assembly processes, encompassing SMT, die attach, wire bond, flip-chip, dispensing, underfill, and backend assembly operations.

• Lead BGA characterization efforts, including stencil optimization, reflow profiling, design of experiments (DOE), BGA rework qualification, and assembly process validation.

• Develop and manage PFMEA, Control Plans, Process Flow Diagrams, work instructions, quality plans, and manufacturing process documentation.

• Specify process controls, SPC monitoring requirements, process capability targets, and critical-to-quality (CTQ) characteristics.

• Conduct root cause analysis and corrective actions using methodologies such as 8D, DMAIC, DOE, 5-Why, and statistical analysis tools.

• Assist in failure analysis through techniques such as AXI, CT scanning, cross-sectioning, EDX, dye-and-pry, and other analytical methods.

• Promote yield enhancement, defect reduction, process optimization, and continuous improvement programs.

• Oversee non-conforming materials, containment actions, MRB reviews, corrective measures, and preventive action initiatives.

• Assist with supplier quality efforts, manufacturing partner audits, process qualifications, and customer quality expectations.

• Act as the main technical liaison for manufacturing readiness assessments, process-related challenges, and customer quality escalations.

• Perform DFM/DFX evaluations and identify manufacturing risks to enhance quality, yield, manufacturability, and operational efficiency.

• Ensure successful new product launches and manufacturing transitions.

• Establish robust, scalable, and capable manufacturing processes.

• Enhance manufacturing yields and lower defect rates.

• Achieve manufacturing readiness, qualification, and production targets on schedule.

⛳️ Requirements
