• Execute day-to-day sustaining activities, including:

  • Lot rejection rate improvement

  • EQA hold rate reduction

  • SYL / SBL sustaining and optimization

• Support product qualification and validation, including tester platform migrations and engineering changes

• Lead initiatives to improve gross margin (yield, cost reduction, efficiency)

• Ensure product performance meets quality, reliability, and manufacturability requirements

• Support system-level integration and issue resolution where required
   

Key Requirement

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering or related field

• 7+ years of experience in high-volume semiconductor manufacturing
