Job Description Insight Global is looking for a Yield Enhancement Engineer that will be working on site in Austin, TX, supporting a public-private partnership of preeminent semiconductor systems and defense electronics companies, national labs, and academic institutions. This Engineer will drive yield improvement, defect reduction, process optimization, and new technology development for advanced packaging technologies. The role requires strong analytical capability, cross-functional collaboration, and hands-on experience with yield learning methodologies in high-volume manufacturing environments.

Responsibilities:

• Correlate process parameters with yield, reliability, and device performance metrics.
• Analyze electrical, inline, defectivity, and reliability data to identify yield loss mechanisms and drive corrective actions.
• Develop and execute yield improvement plans for NPI and high-volume manufacturing products.
• Perform process integration studies across lithography, etch, deposition, CMP, plating, cleaning, and metrology modules.
• Drive root cause analysis using DOE, SPC, Pareto analysis, FMEA, and statistical methodologies.
• Support technology transfer from development to manufacturing with stable process windows and manufacturability improvements.
• Work closely with process, equipment, quality, product, reliability, and customer teams to resolve technical issues.
• Monitor excursion trends and establish preventive actions to improve process robustness.
• Define process control strategies, specifications, and yield monitoring methodologies.
• Participate in failure analysis reviews and develop containment/corrective action plans.
• Support customer qualification activities and technical discussions.
• Generate technical reports, presentations, and documentation for management and customers
