Quality & Reliability Engineer - Semiconductor Manufacturing - MQR

• In-Process Quality Control: Supervise, monitor, and assess in-process wafers in the fab to ensure production conforms to strict quality baselines.
• Risk Assessments: Perform systematic product reliability risk assessments when unexpected production events occur (utilizing CP, DVS, baking, HTOL, etc.).
• Engineering Change Verification: Evaluate the impact of manufacturing and process changes on final product quality and long-term reliability.
• Qualification & Monitoring: Execute robust process and product qualifications and establish routine reliability testing schedules.
• Continuous Improvement: Drive projects to reduce customer line and field returns (DPPM) through systematic process improvements.
• Structured Problem Solving: Lead and execute root-cause analyses for complex technical issues using industry-standard methodologies (such as 8D, PDCA, 5-Why, and Kepner-Tregoe).
• Global Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams in Germany and Taiwan to maintain and align quality standards.

• Education: Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.
• Professional Experience: 0 to 3 years of initial experience, internships, or academic project work in a semiconductor fab, microelectronics cleanroom, or a comparable high-tech manufacturing environment.
• Analytical Mindset: Familiarity with basic quality tools and systematic problem-solving methods (e.g., 8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa, SPC).
• Language Skills: Professional working proficiency in English (essential for the training in Taiwan and daily international technical collaboration).
• Mobility: Full willingness and flexibility to complete the 9~12-month onboarding and training program in Taiwan.

Nice to Have

• Direct experience with semiconductor reliability testing (e.g., HTOL, ESD, Latch-up).
• Knowledge of automotive quality standards (e.g., AEC-Q100, IATF 16949, ISO 26262).
• Experience with statistical data analysis software (e.g., JMP, Minitab, R, or Python).
• Basic to conversational German language skills.
