This role acts as the primary technical interface between process modules, ensuring integrated process flows meet product, quality, and reliability requirements., Assembly & Test Integration Leadership

• Own integration strategy across all Assembly & Test operations including Solder paste printing, Surface mount technology (SMT), Pick-and-place assembly, reflow soldering, PCB assembly, Underfill and adhesive processes, Mechanical assembly, Alignment and calibration, Electrical verification, and Final product test.
• Define process windows, acceptance criteria, and control plans for critical assembly operations.
• Lead optimization of solder joint reliability, component placement accuracy, reflow profiles, coplanarity, and assembly yield.
• Drive integration improvements between PCB design, assembly processes, probe structures, and final electrical performance.
• Develop assembly flow architectures that support volume scalability, cycle-time reduction, and manufacturability.
• Partner with contract manufacturers and internal assembly operations to ensure process consistency and technology transfer success.
• Analyze assembly-related yield losses including solder defects, placement errors, opens, shorts, warpage, misalignment, and handling damage.
• Establish qualification methodologies for assembly materials, solder alloys, adhesives, PCB technologies, and new assembly equipment.

Process Integration Ownership

• Define, own, and continuously improve end-to-end process integration flows for probe card manufacturing.
• Ensure alignment of unit process performance to product-level electrical, mechanical, and reliability targets.
• Identifyand manage integration risks, interactions, and trade-offs across modules.

Yield & Performance Optimization

• Lead integration-level yield improvement initiatives using data-driven analysis and structured problem solving.
• Investigate complex yield excursions, defect mechanisms, and cross-process interactions.
• Drive defect reduction, process capability improvements, and cycle time reduction.

New Product Introduction (NPI) & Technology Transfer

• Lead integration activities for NPI, pilot builds, and ramp to high-volume manufacturing.
• Own integration readiness criteria including process stability, control plans, and manufacturability.
• Support cross-site technology transfer and process replication with strong change control discipline.

Process Flow Development & Control

• Develop andmaintainintegrated process flows, specifications, and control strategies.
• Define critical process parameters, control points, and monitoring strategies (SPC/FDC).
• Ensure robust process window characterization and documentation.

Data Analysis & Problem Solving

• Analyze inline, electrical test, metrology, and defect data toidentifyintegration gaps.
• Design and execute complex DOEs to resolve multi-variable process interactions.
• Utilize structured methodologies (DMAIC, 8D) for root cause analysis.

Mentorship & Technical Influence

• Mentor and guide junior and senior engineers on integration practices and problem solving.
• Provide technical leadership on cross-functional and multi-site initiatives.
• Influence long-term integration strategy and technology roadmap.
