- Define process materials, operating parameters, tooling controls, and handling procedures.
- Develop and maintain process-design guidelines, control plans, and manufacturing specifications.
- Work closely with Process Engineering, Equipment Engineering, Quality, Product Management, and other technical teams.
- Troubleshoot complex manufacturing and product-quality issues.
- Analyse engineering and production data using statistical methods.
- Support process optimization, yield improvement, reliability improvement, and defect-reduction initiatives.
- Participate in cost-reduction projects related to power-module products.
- Prepare technical reports and communicate findings to internal stakeholders.
Qualifications and Experience
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
- At least five years of relevant experience in semiconductor assembly, power modules, wafer-level packaging, IC packaging, or electronic-module manufacturing.
- Practical experience in product or process development, material selection, assembly, or package reliability.
- Strong knowledge of engineering data analysis, SPC, DOE, APQP, and FMEA.
- Candidates must have detailed practical knowledge of at least two or three of the following processes:
- Advanced SMT, including high-density, multilayer, or double-sided component assembly.
- Silver or copper sintering, including pressure and pressureless sintering.
- Soft-solder die attach.
- Aluminium or aluminium-copper wedge and ribbon bonding.
- Vacuum or formic-acid reflow.
- Advanced flip-chip processes, including multi-die, stacked-die, fine-pitch flip chip, and thermo-compression bonding.
- Capillary underfill for fine-pitch flip-chip or thermo-compression bonding applications.
- Advanced copper-clip processes, including exposed copper clips.
- Heat-sink or heat-slug attachment.
- Advanced moulding, including double-sided moulding, low-wire-sweep moulding, liquid moulding, and compression moulding.
- Low-stress blade or laser-singulation processes.
Key Copetencies
- Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
- High level of responsibility and attention to detail.
- Quality-focused mindset with a strong commitment to zero-defect manufacturing.
- Effective cross-functional communication and coordination skills.
- Good command of English.
