Job Summary:

We are seeking aTechnical Support Engineerto improvewafer yield and key manufacturing metricsby analyzingwafer yield datatogether withTokyo Electron (TEL) etch plasma systemsignals. You will develop and deploy data-driven insights to identify root causes, quantify process effects, and support continuous process optimization for etch-based steps

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Build analytics that correlatewafer yield outcomeswithTEL etch plasma systemprocess data and equipment-relevant parameters.
• Develop models/feature sets that capture relationships between plasma/etch behavior and manufacturing metrics (e.g., yield, defect trends, process stability).
• Create automated dashboards and reporting to track process performance over time and by tool/recipe lot.
• Perform data preparation and validation, including data quality checks, standardization, and alignment of recipe/equipment events with wafer results.
• Support root-cause investigations using statistical and machine learning approaches to explain performance shifts and yield excursions.
• Translate analytic findings into actionable guidance for process engineering teams (recipe tuning suggestions, monitoring thresholds, process window adjustments).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate analytics into daily manufacturing workflows and improve measurement/monitoring coverage.
• Maintain documentation of data pipelines, model assumptions, evaluation methods, and outcomes.

Supervisory and/or Leadership Responsibilities:

None.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Experience withmanufacturing process analyticsand working withproduction yield dataandequipment process logs.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor etch fundamentals and how plasma/process conditions influence device outcomes.
• Experience withdata engineering/analytics(e.g., building datasets from equipment and wafer-level data, performing time alignment, handling missing/noisy signals).
• Proficiency withmachine learning and/or advanced statistical analysisfor process monitoring, correlation, and prediction.
• Practical experience creating clear, decision-ready outputs (dashboards, reports, and investigation artifacts).
• Ability to work effectively with engineers to translate insights into process actions.

Minimum Qualifications 6 (Education, Experience, Certification, & Licensure):

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• Minimum of 8 years of experience, with a strong focus on troubleshooting and resolving complex technical issue
