Requisition ID: 72225
Director, Foundry Engineering
Skyworks Solutions, Inc.’s Technology and Manufacturing Group (TMG) is looking for a passionate, skilled and hands-on Engineering leader to lead our Foundry (external fabs) Engineering group that will create and drive benchmark performance across Probe/ Final Test yield, Quality, Cost optimization, Change control, New Product Introductions (NPI), etc.
Ideal candidate will be an expert in end-to-end fab processing, including deep understanding of fab modules, design/ process interactions and work x-functionally within Skyworks (Design, Product Engineering, Quality, Reliability, Supply Chain, Sourcing, etc) in pursuit of Foundry performance excellence.
Roles & Responsibilities
Foundry Engineering is a highly visible role within Skyworks and will have broad responsibilities, including:
o Probe yield benchmarking based on fab/ process D0.
o Driving foundries to meet benchmark standards and D0 improvements.
o Partnering with Product Engineering to optimize test limits, SYL/ SBL flagging, including DPAT/ GPAT rules to optimize yield.
o Partnering with Test and Product Engineering to improve Probe test escapes to Final test and drive RF performance variation improvement correlated to fab processing.
o Partnering with Design, Foundry Technology to feedback design/ process marginalities (DFM).
o Ensuring module level FDC is implemented on high RPN’s / critical FMEA parameters to catch process variations as an input versus output/ downstream.
o Good process control through optimizing critical in-line, PCM Cpk.
o Right PCM parameters, including sample size, location, etc being monitored within the Foundry network. WECO rules being applied to appropriately flag outliers.
o Drive to lowest possible MTTD to ensure containment closest to the point of origin.
o Partnering with Foundry Quality and x-functional team to lead root cause identification, material disposition, corrective action identification.
o Successful corrective action fix will ensure no repeats of similar types of issues and strive to catch excursion at/ closest to the point of origin.
o Partnering with Foundry Technology to ensure we have the right DRC checks including clear understanding of process waivers for NPI’s.
o Driving Probe/ Final test yields to benchmark performance.
o Partnering with Foundry Quality to assess, qualify, roll over process changes.
o OQA acceptance criteria- samples v/s 100%?
o Are we over-inking?
o Are we allowing escapes from Foundry to take on cost (die loss) hit?
o Depth and breath across process modules.
o Auding fabs towards benchmark performance- right in-line controls, metrology, SPC/ WECO rules, etc..
o Driving Continuous improvement towards better Quality, Cost, Cycle time, etc..
