Full Job Description
We are looking for a Process Engineer with experience in Semiconductor Packaging, especially in high power applications. The successful candidate will spend approximately 50% performing Process Engineering and 50% of their time leading New Product Introduction (NPI) for high power LED products. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Process Engineer to diversify his career with Product Development - Project Management Experience.

Key Responsibilities:

50%

  • Develop recipes for wire bonding, die attach and dispensing processes for a low volume prototype assembly line.
  • Build Control Plan for these processes and track via destructive test monitoring and SPC.
  • Publish lot reports, including pareto of yield losses, CpK, etc.
  • Transfer recipes, control plan, etc. to high volume manufacturing partners in the Asia region.
  • Evaluate new materials for these processes to improve performance or reduce costs.

50%

  • Develop high power LED packages for Medical, Life Sciences and Industrial applications. This requires innovative thinking on concepts, conducting optical performance testing and hands on experimentation to validate design.
  • Collaborate with Asian Contract Manufacturers to co-develop LED packages from initial concepts through mass production to optimize performance and cost.
  • Engage with the Supply Chain for critical Bill of Material items, e.g. prisms, interposers, etc.
  • Manage projects and track progress. Update the larger Project team on a weekly basis.
  • Generating intellectual property and working with patent attorneys to file patent applications.


Qualifications for the Position:
