Job Description:

TheSr Manager, Process Integrationis responsible forleading process integration engineering within a semiconductor manufacturing environment, with a focus on MEMS and probe card manufacturing. This role ensures that complex, multi-step manufacturing processes,spanning wafer-level fabrication, MEMS processes, assembly, interconnect, and electrical test,are effectively integrated to achieve product performance, yield, quality, and manufacturability targets.

This positionoperatesas both a people leader and technical leader, managing a team of integration engineers while driving cross-functional alignment across Process, Equipment, Product, Yield, Quality, and Operations teams. The role is accountable for integration performance at the product or site level and plays a key role in new product introduction (NPI), ramp readiness, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

Process Integration Ownership

Own and drive end-to-end process integration across probe card manufacturing flows, ensuring alignment between unit processes and product-level requirements.

Define,maintain, and continuously improve integrated process flows, including critical steps, process interactions, and control strategies.

Identifyintegration risks, process interactions, and trade-offsimpactingyield, performance, and manufacturability.

Yield, Quality & Performance Management

Lead integration-level yield improvement initiatives using data-driven analysis and structured problem solving (e.g., DMAIC, 8D).

Drive root cause identification and resolution of complex yield excursions and defect mechanisms across multiple process modules.

Ensure process capability, defect reduction, and cycle time improvements across integrated manufacturing flows.

New Product Introduction (NPI) & Manufacturing Readiness

Lead integration activities for NPI, pilot builds, and ramp to high-volume manufacturing.

Establishintegrationreadiness criteria, including process stability, control plans, qualification strategies, and manufacturability assessments.

Partner with Product and R&D teams to ensure Design for Manufacturability (DfM) and Design for Reliability (DfR) alignment.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Serve as the technical integration interface across Process Engineering, Equipment Engineering, Product Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality teams.

Drive resolution of cross-module process interactions and constraintsimpactingproduct performance.

Influence integration strategy, roadmap, and best practices across site or product line.

People Leadership & Team Development

Manage, coach, and develop a team of process integration engineers.

Set clear performance expectations, priorities, and deliverables aligned to manufacturing goals.

Build team capability in systems thinking, structured problem solving, and semiconductor process integration.

Process Control, Documentation & Compliance

Ensure robust process control strategies, including SPC, FDC, and monitoring methodologies.

Drive standardization of process flows, specifications, and documentation.

Ensure effective change management, traceability, and compliance with internal and external quality standards.

Continuous Improvement & Operational Excellence

Lead cross-functional continuous improvement initiatives focused on yield, throughput, cost, and process capability.

Promote best practice sharing across modules, products, and sites.

Support manufacturing scalability and operational readiness for volume production.
