• Develop and maintain automated vision inspection programs to detect visual and mechanical defects
• Define defect criteria, limits, and disposition rules prior to reel
• Analyze yield, defect Pareto, and escape data; drive continuous improvement actions
• Optimize tape‑and‑reel parameters (pocket design, orientation, pitch, cover tape, ESD control)
• Lead process qualification, validation, and change management activities
• Interface with Test, Quality, Manufacturing, and Logistics teams to ensure smooth handoff
• Support customer quality requirements, audits, and failure investigations
• Create and maintain SOPs, control plans, PFMEA, and work instructions

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
• 3+ years of experience in semiconductor back‑end, test, or mechanical finishing processes
• Hands‑on experience with tape & reel, packing, and shipment operations
• Experience with automated vision inspection systems and defect classification
• Strong understanding of mechanical and cosmetic defect mechanisms
