Quality Engineer

Quality Planning: • Develop and maintain quality control plans, procedures, and standards for equipment manufacturing. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Manufacturing, Logistics and Supply Chain) to identify and mitigate quality risks. • Establish quality objectives and metrics (e.g., defect rate, yield, throughput). Quality Assurance: • Conduct audits and inspections to ensure compliance with quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001, AS9100, SEMI S2). • Monitor production processes to identify opportunities for improvement. • Analyze data to identify trends and root causes of quality issues. Quality Control: • Develop and implement inspection protocols for equipment and components. • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., SEMI, CE, UL). • Conduct training for production staff on quality procedures. Problem-Solving and Continuous Improvement: • Investigate and resolve quality issues using tools like 8D, Fishbone, and Pareto analysis. • Implement corrective actions and preventive measures. • Lead or participate in continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma). Industry-Specific Requirements: • Familiarity with semiconductor industry standards (SEMI, ISO 14644). • Knowledge of cleanroom protocols and contamination control. • Understanding of equipment reliability and maintainability. Documentation and Reporting: • Maintain quality records and documentation (e.g., Device Master Records). • Prepare and submit quality reports to management. • Communicate quality performance to stakeholders. Collaboration and Training: • Work with design engineers to ensure design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for reliability (DFR). • Collaborate with supplier quality engineers and suppliers to ensure quality of incoming components. • Provide training on quality procedures and standards. Requirements • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (e.g., Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial), Quality Engineering, or related field. • 3+ years of experience in quality engineering or a related field in the semiconductor industry. • ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) or Certified Quality Technician (CQT) preferred. • Experience with front-end equipment manufacturing is preferred. • Strong knowledge of quality management principles (e.g., ISO 9001, Lean, Six Sigma). • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills. • Proficient in statistical process control (SPC) and quality tools. • Familiarity with industry-specific software (e.g., SAP, Oracle, AGILE). • Ability to read and interpret Engineering drawings is required. • Excellent time management, organizational, and problem-solving skills • Possess good communication, meticulous and interpersonal skills. • Ability to interact with internal stakeholders. • Ability to work as a team, as well as independently.
