The Role and Impact
We are seeking a Senior Strategic Program Leader to drive the next generation of Yield and Defect Engineering transformation within a high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment. This role goes beyond traditional engineering leadership serving as a catalyst for AI-driven innovation, enterprise scale program execution, and cross-functional alignment.
You will lead a multidisciplinary organization responsible for advancing defect metrology, yield engineering systems, and AI-enabled decision intelligence, ensuring the factory operates with predictive, adaptive, and scalable capabilities. Your leadership will directly shape how data, automation, and artificial intelligence are embedded into daily operations to accelerate yield learning, improve cycle time, and increase productivity.
As a key member of the technology and manufacturing leadership team, you will define long-term strategy, influence roadmaps across process integration and metrology, and drive execution of complex, high-impact programs that position the organization for future technology nodes and advanced packaging innovations.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership and Transformation:
Define and execute a multi-year strategy for Yield and Defect Engineering, integrating AI/ML, automation, and digital transformation into core workflows.
Lead enterprise-level programs to transition from reactive analysis to predictive and prescriptive yield management systems.
Serve as a thought leader in AI adoption for semiconductor manufacturing, identifying high-value use cases and scaling solutions across sites.
AI-Driven Productivity and Decision Intelligence:
Champion the deployment of AI/Agentic AI solutions to enhance defect detection, classification, excursion prevention, and root cause analysis.
Drive integration of data platforms, digital twins, and advanced analytics into yield and defect systems.
Partner with data science, IT, and automation teams to embed real-time decision intelligence into fab operations.
Operational Excellence and Yield Performance:
Oversee yield performance across development and high-volume manufacturing, ensuring alignment to aggressive yield, quality, and delivery targets.
Lead cross-functional efforts to resolve complex yield limiters and defect excursions, minimizing impact to supply.
Institutionalize closed-loop learning systems that accelerate yield ramp and improve defect pareto convergence.
Defect Metrology and Systems Leadership:
Define and evolve defect metrology strategy, including tool selection, capability roadmaps, and system architecture.
Lead development of scalable defect management systems that enable early detection, excursion containment, and predictive risk mitigation.
Ensure alignment of inspection, review, classification, and analytics ecosystems with future technology requirements
Program Execution and Stakeholder Influence:
Drive large-scale, cross-site programs requiring alignment across process integration, manufacturing, equipment, and corporate strategy teams.
Operate across multiple disciplines translating executive vision into clear roadmaps, measurable milestones, and disciplined execution.
Influence senior stakeholders and executives to align investments, priorities, and organizational focus.
Organization and Talent Leadership:
Build and lead a high-performing, diverse organization, fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous learning.
Develop next-generation leaders with capabilities spanning engineering depth, data science, and AI fluency.
Champion a shift from individual based to scalable, system-driven excellence.
