Yield Engineer COX Expansion

Primary Duties & Responsibilities

• Lead yield improvement and defect-reduction initiatives driving world class final yield and scrap rate across CoC assembly and test manufacturing processes
• Analyze production assembly test equipment and quality data to identify trends variation and major yield-loss mechanisms
• Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions using methodologies such as 8D DMAIC fishbone analysis fault-tree analysis and DOE partnering with process product equipment quality operations and global engineering teams to resolve manufacturing and product issues
• Ensure that yield improvement actions are documented validated and sustained through effective monitoring and ownership
• Establish yield dashboards pareto analysis and other related trend charts/monitors and develop standards and best practices for yield analysis defect classification or data collection

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support new product introduction product transfer production ramp-up and continuous improvement that any process changes equipment changes or upgrades material changes and design revisions go through yield impact evaluation

Education & Experience
