Strip Test Engineer
Summary
Maintains and improves semiconductor strip-testing processes using Cohu handlers and ATE to boost yield, reduce defects, and maximize throughput in a manufacturing environment.
What you need to do:
Responsible for maintaining, optimizing, and developing the backend testing and handling processes for semiconductor products mounted on leadframes or strips using Cohu SH5300A (Strip handler) and FH1200 (Film Frame handler).
Focus on yield improvement, equipment reliability, and defect reduction during the testing.
Monitor and improve testing and strip-handling processes to maximize throughput, reduce equipment downtime, and minimize cost.
Analyze root causes for test failures, yield drops, and test escapes using statistical data analysis.
Collaborate with equipment maintenance and vendors to troubleshoot handlers, Automated Test Equipment (ATE), and vision systems.
Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), process travelers, and risk assessment documentation (e.g., PFMEA).
Train operators and production technicians on new process requirements and troubleshooting methodologies.
What you need to have:
Bachelor's degree in electrical, Electronic, Mechanical, or Materials Engineering.
5+ years of experience in semiconductor backend manufacturing, specifically within Final Test (FT), Tape & Reel, and strip-handling.
Familiarity with ATE and strip handling machines.
Strong understanding of statistical process control (SPC) and capability studies (GR&R).
Proficiency in data analysis software such as Minitab, JMP, or advanced Excel.
Hands-on experience with root-cause analysis frameworks like 8D, or Six Sigma.
