Product Engineer (Semiconductor Manufacturing)

Quick Facts

• Role: Product Engineer (Semiconductor Manufacturing)

• Focus: SiC substrate and epitaxial process quality, yield, reliability, and cost

Description

Own product performance across the Materials and Epi manufacturing value stream. Develop, monitor, and characterize how equipment, raw materials, and process variations impact quality, yield, reliability, and cost for SiC substrate and epitaxial manufacturing processes.

Responsibilities

• Drive product ownership across the manufacturing value stream

• Participate in RMA, MRB, PCRB, CAPA, and risk-mitigation activities

• Define product control parameters and create monitoring systems to detect, analyze, and mitigate yield variations

• Document and communicate project status, deliverables, and product-specific risks

• Lead yield improvement, defect reduction, reliability enhancement, and cost-reduction projects

• Develop and maintain Process FMEAs, Control Plans, SPC strategies, and process capability metrics (Cp/Cpk)

• Perform advanced data analytics using Power BI, JMP, Tableau, SQL, Python, or equivalent tools

• Apply Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, DOE, and continuous improvement methodologies

• Partner with R&D to qualify and transition new technologies into volume production

• Lead process changes to ensure repeatability, reproducibility, manufacturability, and long-term process control

• Support NPI, product qualification, and technology transfers

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Engineering, or Materials Science

• 2+ years of engineering experience in a manufacturing environment focused on process, equipment, or material-related yield and quality improvements

• Strong analytical, statistical, organizational, and problem-solving capabilities

• Experience with Microsoft Office, Power BI, and data analysis tools

• Ability to work in cleanroom and non-cleanroom environments

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Benefits

• Exposure to all aspects of semiconductor manufacturing through a vertically integrated manufacturing model (substrate production through device fabrication and testing)

• Opportunity to support advanced technologies across electric vehicle adoption, sustainable power management, 5G telecommunications, and emerging semiconductor markets
