Process and Equipment Engineer (Inertial Sensors)

• Own assigned backend test equipment (e.g. ATE systems, handlers, probers, unloaders) and ensure high equipment availability, reliability, and performance in line with production demand.
• Plan, execute, and continuously improve preventive maintenance (PM) programs and drive effective corrective actions to minimize downtime and recurring failures.
• Develop, qualify, and optimize test processes, recipes, and parameters to achieve target yield, throughput, and quality.
• Perform yield monitoring, trend analysis, and failure analysis to identify root causes of test failures, escapes, or retest issues, and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Support test program releases, changes, and re-runs, ensuring alignment with SEMI standards, quality requirements, and engineering change controls.
• Lead and participate in continuous improvement initiatives (OEE improvement, cycle time reduction, cost per unit reduction, retest reduction) using structured problem-solving methods.
• Support capacity planning, line balancing, and production ramp-up activities, including new product introduction (NPI) and volume expansion.
• Create, maintain, and control engineering documents such as SOPs, WI, PM checklists, FMEA, and control plans in compliance with internal and customer requirements.
• Work closely with Manufacturing, Quality, Test Development, Planning, Facilities, and Vendors to resolve issues and drive operational excellence.
• Analyze equipment and process data (downtime, yield, SPC, alarms) and prepare technical reports and dashboards for management and stakeholders.
• Support tool installation, qualification, buy-off, and transfer of new test platforms or technologies into production.
• Train technicians, operators, and junior engineers on equipment operation, troubleshooting, and process controls to ensure consistent execution.
