Applied AI for Yield and Diagnostics, Sr. Staff
Own the architecture of applied AI solutions for diagnostics and yield, from GenAI assistants that help engineers, to autonomous agents that plan, call tools, and execute safe next actions. Develop and deploy ML and computer vision models that interpret wafer maps, memory bitmaps, defect and FA images, and layout patterns, fusing signals with logs to speed triage and repair decisions. Model domain knowledge as graphs and apply GNNs to reveal relationships, cluster suspects, and suggest likely root causes. Integrate AI solutions into high-volume production diagnostics and analytic workflows so insights are directly actionable in existing tools. Establish reliable data and retrieval foundations with pipelines, versioning, and grounded retrieval over reports and runbooks, with clear lineage and quality checks. Drive adoption across package assembly, silicon yield, diagnostics, and FA by converting manual analyses into durable automation. Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers as we evolve to an AI-first team.
