• Prepare and execute process development plans, engineering & qualification builds, and process validation activities.
• Establish process parameters, specifications, control limits, and acceptance criteria.
• Evaluate process feasibility, identify potential manufacturing risks, and implement preventive actions before mass production.
• Review process capability, yield performance, defect trends, and qualification results.
• Prepare technical reports, process documentation, and qualification summaries.
• Support safe launch activities and ensure all critical process issues are resolved before mass production release.

B. Multi-Process Engineering Responsibilities

• Molding & PMC - Develop and optimize Molding process and other related process control for Molding.
• IR Reflow - Develop and optimize IR Reflow process for new product
• Plating & bake - Develop and optimize Plating parameters and other related process control for Plating process

C. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with Production, Equipment Eng, QA, Product Eng, Material Eng, and other relevant departments
• Work with equipment and material suppliers to evaluate new technologies and improvement opportunities.
• Provide technical support during engineering builds, qualification builds, troubleshooting, and production ramp-up.
• Coordinate process readiness, material availability, and documentation before qualification and mass production.

D. Documentation and Mass Production Transfer

• Prepare and maintain process specifications, SOPs, work instructions, process flow documents, and risk assessments.
• Maintain engineering records, process parameter histories, DOE results, and qualification reports.
• Support PFMEA reviews and implementation of appropriate process controls.
• Define critical-to-quality parameters and monitoring requirements.
• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Major in Materials, Chemical , Manufacturing, or related disciplines).
• Minimum 5 years experience in semiconductor assembly, packaging, or manufacturing engineering is preferred in MOL processes (Molding~Plating)
• Candidates with relevant experience in multiple assembly processes, particularly power semiconductor or power discrete packaging, will have an added advantage.

Skills and Knowledge

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Good understanding of semiconductor assembly processes and process interactions.
• Knowledge of DOE, SPC, process capability analysis, FMEA, and structured root cause analysis.
• Ability to interpret engineering data, identify process risks, and implement effective corrective actions.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint for data analysis, technical reporting, and presentation
• Good communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to manage multiple NPI activities and meet project milestones.

Added Advantages

• Experience in SAW QFN, MOSFET, power discrete, or power semiconductor package assembly.
• Hands-on experience to operate on Towa molding machine & Plating machine.
• Experience in solder joint inspection, void analysis, X-ray inspection, cross-section analysis, and package failure analysis.
• Experience in new product qualification, process transfer, safe launch, and mass production ramp-up.
• Experience in process development using DOE and optimization of multi-step assembly processes using JMP analysis tools.
