The regular hours for this position are day shift.Job Description:
The Sr. Staff Integration Engineer is responsible for defining, optimizing, and sustaining end-to-end process integration flows for probe card manufacturing in a high-volume semiconductor environment. This role serves as a senior technical authority, integrating complex unit processes across wafer-level fabrication, MEMS, precision assembly, interconnect, and electrical test.
The position drives yield performance, manufacturability, and scalability by aligning cross-functional engineering, operations, and product teams. The role operates with significant autonomy, leading cross-module problem solving, technology transfer, and continuous improvement initiatives, while mentoring engineers and influencing integration strategy across sites.
This role acts as the primary technical interface between process modules, ensuring integrated process flows meet product, quality, and reliability requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
Process Integration Ownership
Define, own, and continuously improve end-to-end process integration flows for probe card manufacturing
Ensure alignment of unit process performance to product-level electrical, mechanical, and reliability targets
Identify and manage integration risks, interactions, and trade-offs across modules
Yield & Performance Optimization
Lead integration-level yield improvement initiatives using data-driven analysis and structured problem solving
Investigate complex yield excursions, defect mechanisms, and cross-process interactions
Drive defect reduction, process capability improvements, and cycle time reduction
New Product Introduction (NPI) & Technology Transfer
Lead integration activities for NPI, pilot builds, and ramp to high-volume manufacturing
Own integration readiness criteria including process stability, control plans, and manufacturability
Support cross-site technology transfer and process replication with strong change control discipline
Process Flow Development & Control
Develop and maintain integrated process flows, specifications, and control strategies
Define critical process parameters, control points, and monitoring strategies (SPC/FDC)
Ensure robust process window characterization and documentation
Cross-Functional Technical Leadership
Act as the technical integration interface across Process, Equipment, Product, Yield, Quality, and Manufacturing teams
Influence design for manufacturability (DfM) and design for reliability (DfR)
Partner with operations on process stability, tool readiness, and production performance
Data Analysis & Problem Solving
Analyze inline, electrical test, metrology, and defect data to identify integration gaps
Design and execute complex DOEs to resolve multi-variable process interactions
Utilize structured methodologies (DMAIC, 8D) for root cause analysis
Change Management & Governance
Evaluate, approve, and implement changes to processes, materials, equipment, and flows
Ensure compliance with change control processes, qualification standards, and documentation requirements
Maintain traceability and configuration control across process changes
Mentorship & Technical Influence
Mentor and guide junior and senior engineers on integration practices and problem solving
Provide technical leadership on cross-functional and multi-site initiatives
Influence long-term integration strategy and technology roadmap
