Job Description
Position Summary
The Senior Manufacturing Engineer supports semiconductor test operations involving automated test equipment (ATE), wafer probers, handlers, and associated factory systems. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with testers and probers, strong troubleshooting capability, and the ability to collaborate closely with engineering teams to maintain high-quality, high-efficiency test operations. The role also drives continuous improvement of test processes, equipment performance, and manufacturing data flow.
Business context
Our test operations organization supports new product introduction (NPI), engineering sample evaluation, and production test readiness for advanced Analog, Power, MCU, and EP semiconductor products. This position is key to dependable test cell operation, data generation for engineering analysis, and smooth coordination with suppliers, cross-functional engineering teams, and production support groups.
Key Responsibilities
Test cell and manufacturing operations
▪ Support NPI, engineering sample, and low-volume production programs, including test cell readiness.
▪ Oversee setup, docking, and undocking of ATE systems with probers and handlers according to daily engineering and production needs.
Equipment troubleshooting and debug
▪ Lead diagnosis and troubleshooting of handlers, probers, and testers, coordinating with Renesas engineers and vendors as needed to restore operation.
▪ Debug ATE hardware, including load boards, probe cards, and socketed test fixtures, and drive root-cause resolution of intermittent issues.
Data and process improvement
▪ Analyze yield, throughput, and equipment-utilization data to drive corrective actions; support factory systems, lot tracking, and automated data collection.
Maintenance, calibration, and compliance
▪ Oversee preventive maintenance (PM) and calibration support for ATE, handlers, probers, and other test equipment.
▪ Maintain calibration records and PM logs to support ISO-9001 audits.
