What You’ll Do:

This role will serve as the technical process owner for backend packaging and continuity testing tool, supporting our advanced displays from prototyping through production. As an engineer you would drive process development, yield, and manufacturability on our microdisplay production line.  

Additionally you will: 

  • Own and optimize a backend packaging process for LCOS advanced displays, from early development through high-volume manufacturing, ensuring stable, high-yield output.

  • Act as the primary technical interface for equipment, materials, and manufacturing partners, overseeing tool qualification, process capability, build readiness, and issue resolution.

  • Develop, qualify, and sustain assembly and packaging recipes, control plans, and SPC systems, driving continuous improvement in CD/overlay, defectivity, yields, and reliability.

  • Lead structured problem solving (DOEs, FMEA, root cause analysis, corrective actions) for yield excursions, line stops, and parametric drifts.

  • Partner with cross-functional teams to define capacity models and WIP/uptime strategies.


Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:
  • Hands-on experience with automated packaging equipment, including recipe setup, tuning, and troubleshooting.

  • Proven ability to function as a module owner in a high-volume fab or OSAT environment, balancing NPI design transfer activities and roadmap work.

  • Exceptional problem solver with a structured, solution focused approach, leveraging advanced statistical tools to improve yield and stability in packaging.

  • Comfortable working in an ISO 5 cleanroom environment and enforcing best practices in contamination control, safety, and EHS compliance.
