  • Develop, implement, and maintain SPC systems, Cpk analysis, and Western Electric rules for early excursion detection
  • Apply structured problem solving (8D, PFMEA, DOE, multivariate analysis) to identify root causes and corrective actions
  • Lead cross-functional improvement projects that measurably increase FAB yield and performance
  • Create and maintain automated yield dashboards, pareto charts, and SPC tracking for continuous monitoring
  • Develop and update SOPs, engineering instructions, and documentation to maintain process consistency
  • Collaborate with process, device, product, quality & reliability, software, and design engineering teams
  • Be available to work extended hours and weekends as required to meet critical milestones
