Description

About our client

Our client is a global technology leader specializing in advanced memory and storage solutions that power next-generation computing and data-driven applications. With strong expertise in semiconductor innovation, the organization develops high-performance memory technologies across DRAM, NAND, and storage platforms for applications spanning data centers, artificial intelligence, mobile devices, client computing, and intelligent edge ecosystems.

Driven by a commitment to technology advancement, operational excellence, and customer-centric innovation, the company plays a significant role in enabling modern digital infrastructure and compute-intensive workloads worldwide.


Job description

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 (baseline health, detection rates, false positives, MTTR).
  • Direct fast containment for defect excursions: trigger tool quarantines, define hold criteria, and lead 8D corrective actions.
  • Architect inspection recipes and sampling strategies; optimize 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; evaluate, qualify, and release next gen optical/e-beam inspection capabilities.
  • Standardize and disseminate Best Known Methods (BKM) across global TD and manufacturing sites.
  • Mentor, coach, and upskill engineers; develop succession plans and technical ladders within the RDA domain.
  • Champion safety and continuous improvement (CIP); drive kaizen/lean initiatives that improve cycle time and learning velocity.


Requirements:


  • Bachelor’s degree with 7+ years relevant semiconductor experience, or Master’s/PhD with 5+ years.
  • Minimum 3+ years hands-on RDA experience in semiconductor manufacturing or equipment engineering.
  • Demonstrated expertise in defect inspection, process monitoring, and yield learning.


Technical Competencies


  • Realtime Defect Analysis (RDA) systems and workflows.
  • Optical and e-beam inspection technologies.
  • Statistical data analysis, correlation development, and large dataset interpretation.
  • Semiconductor process integration and technology development.
  • Root cause analysis and systematic problem solving (e.g., 8D, DMAIC).
  • Leadership & Behavioral Competencies
  • Recognized technical authority with the ability to influence without direct authority.
  • Strong mentoring and coaching mindset with proven talent development outcomes.
  • Clear, concise communication skills across technical and executive audiences.
  • Ownership-driven, execution-focused; comfortable operating in ambiguity.
  • Impact & Success Measures
  • Reduced defect-related yield loss and faster learning cycles.
  • On-time qualification and adoption of next-generation inspection capabilities.
  • Uplift in organizational RDA skill depth and succession pipeline.
  • Alignment of inspection strategy and capability to future NAND nodes.
