• Develop holistic qualification plans and coordinate execution.
• Provide recommendations on release of new package technologies based on test results and technical risk assessment.
• Provide SME input to problem solving for package technology related issues to ensure effective root cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions.
• Work with customer-facing teams to draft and present content to address customer issues and requests.

Education required

• PhD degree or equivalent experience
• Engineering & Science –Electrical & electronics, mechanical, material science and engineering, physics, or related field of study

 Experience Required

• 10+ years’ experience in semiconductor package design, manufacturing or Q&R
• Experience with advanced packaging technologies (e.g., 3DI, Wafer-2-Wafer, SiP)

Qualifications

• Expert-level applied knowledge of package-level and board-level reliability test methods, reliability acceleration modeling, and sampling statistics.
• Expert-level understanding of Chip-Package Interaction and the effects thermomechanical and hygroscopic swelling stresses on reliability.
• Thorough knowledge of semiconductor package designs and challenges.
• Knowledge of package/assembly processes, board level reliability, and challenges.
• Understanding of mechanical and material interaction effects on reliability of IC components and/or printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies.
• Understanding of statistics and quality management (SPC, FMEA, 8D CAR, etc.)
• Must be self-motivated, able to work independently, and detail oriented.
• Strong analytical problem-solving skills, excellent multi-tasking skills and the ability to interact easily with other groups.
