Key Responsibilities
- Own the site-level RDA strategy and annual roadmap aligned to NAND TD technology nodes.
- Lead analysis of experimental and production flows to detect, classify, and trend systematic and random defects.
- Establish, track, and report program health metrics including baseline health, detection rates, false positives, and MTTR.
- Direct fast containment for defect excursions by triggering tool quarantines and leading 8D corrective actions.
- Architect inspection recipes and sampling strategies, optimizing sensitivity, throughput, and cost of ownership.
- Partner with Process Integration, Yield, and Data Science to correlate inspection signals to device performance and yield.
- Influence supplier roadmaps by evaluating, qualifying, and releasing next-gen optical/e-beam inspection capabilities.
- Serve as the technical lead for RDA methodologies and execution within NAND TD.
- Perform root cause analysis using statistical, image-based, and data-driven techniques.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree with 7+ years of relevant semiconductor experience, or Master’s/PhD with 5+ years.
- Minimum 3+ years of hands-on RDA experience in semiconductor manufacturing or equipment engineering.
- Demonstrated expertise in defect inspection, process monitoring, and yield learning.
- Ability to develop, own, and communicate inspection and defect detection technology roadmaps.
- Proven ability to define program health metrics and drive continuous improvement initiatives (CIP).
- Experience leading tool anomaly investigations, quarantine decisions, and corrective action planning.
