Full Job Description
Shift:
The regular hours for this position are day shift.

Job Description:

The Sr Manager, Process Integration is responsible for leading process integration engineering within a semiconductor manufacturing environment, with a focus on MEMS and probe card manufacturing. This role ensures that complex, multi-step manufacturing processes, spanning wafer-level fabrication, MEMS processes, assembly, interconnect, and electrical test, are effectively integrated to achieve product performance, yield, quality, and manufacturability targets.

This position operates as both a people leader and technical leader, managing a team of integration engineers while driving cross-functional alignment across Process, Equipment, Product, Yield, Quality, and Operations teams. The role is accountable for integration performance at the product or site level and plays a key role in new product introduction (NPI), ramp readiness, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

Process Integration Ownership

  • Own and drive end-to-end process integration across probe card manufacturing flows, ensuring alignment between unit processes and product-level requirements.


  • Define, maintain, and continuously improve integrated process flows, including critical steps, process interactions, and control strategies.


  • Identify integration risks, process interactions, and trade-offs impacting yield, performance, and manufacturability.


Yield, Quality & Performance Management

  • Lead integration-level yield improvement initiatives using data-driven analysis and structured problem solving (e.g., DMAIC, 8D).


  • Drive root cause identification and resolution of complex yield excursions and defect mechanisms across multiple process modules.


  • Ensure process capability, defect reduction, and cycle time improvements across integrated manufacturing flows.


New Product Introduction (NPI) & Manufacturing Readiness

  • Lead integration activities for NPI, pilot builds, and ramp to high-volume manufacturing.


  • Establish integration readiness criteria, including process stability, control plans, qualification strategies, and manufacturability assessments.


  • Partner with Product and R&D teams to ensure Design for Manufacturability (DfM) and Design for Reliability (DfR) alignment.


Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Serve as the technical integration interface across Process Engineering, Equipment Engineering, Product Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality teams.


  • Drive resolution of cross-module process interactions and constraints impacting product performance.


  • Influence integration strategy, roadmap, and best practices across site or product line.


People Leadership & Team Development

  • Manage, coach, and develop a team of process integration engineers.


  • Set clear performance expectations, priorities, and deliverables aligned to manufacturing goals.


  • Build team capability in systems thinking, structured problem solving, and semiconductor process integration.


Process Control, Documentation & Compliance

  • Ensure robust process control strategies, including SPC, FDC, and monitoring methodologies.


  • Drive standardization of process flows, specifications, and documentation.


  • Ensure effective change management, traceability, and compliance with internal and external quality standards.


Continuous Improvement & Operational Excellence

  • Lead cross-functional continuous improvement initiatives focused on yield, throughput, cost, and process capability.


  • Promote best practice sharing across modules, products, and sites.


  • Support manufacturing scalability and operational readiness for volume production.
