Work closely with R&D, NPI, Product Design, and Reliability teams to align trim and form equipment capability with package architecture and process requirements. Diagnose and resolve trim and form equipment, tooling, and process-related defects impacting yield and product quality. Support technology, process, and equipment transfers and ensure smooth ramp-up to HVM. Contribute to process technology roadmaps supporting advanced packaging, thin form factors, and emerging device architectures. Drive continuous improvement initiatives such as MVA, yield enhancement, and UPH optimization. Manage spare parts inventory, procurement activities, and cost optimization initiatives. Liaise with suppliers and vendors for tooling, jigs, and fixtures; closely monitor delivery schedules for spare and non-spare items. Perform effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic manufacturing environment. What You Will Need Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical discipline. Minimum 5 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, with at least 3 years specializing in trim and form equipment and tooling. Strong hands-on experience with trim and form machines used in semiconductor packaging. Solid understanding of tooling design, material properties and behavior, GD&T, tolerances, and metrology equipment (added advantage). Proficiency in statistical analysis tools such as JMP and Minitab, with strong technical documentation skills.
