R&D Design Technology Integration Engineer

Roles & Responsibilities

Join this team focused on RF Front End Modules for the Cellular and Wireless Data markets. You will be part of the Business Unit Engineering organization and work directly with and support multiple product development teams.

Position requires a senior technical specialist who can provide leadership in the development of new and sustainable technology platforms for the company using a solid background in materials, device physics, front end or back-end processes, and supplier interactions.

Responsibilities :

• Exhibit skill and confidence in working cross-functionally across a matrix organization in a very dynamic and fast-paced environment.
• Support development of advanced technologies for Si / GaAs backend interconnect, passivation, RDL, bump and flip chip packaging (CPI).
• Monitor and improve existing processes to improve yield, quality, and throughput, thereby increasing efficiency and product reliability. Support new pioneering singulation development.
• Utilize expertise in process integration between Fabrication (FAB) facilities and Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) companies to anticipate and address potential integration challenges.
• In-depth knowledge of Backend-of-the-Line (BEOL) processes, with an additional benefit on experience in photolithography techniques.
• Conversant with substrate and assembly packaging processes for RF-SiP (Radio Frequency-System in Package) applications.
• Formulate industry-leading design guidelines which involves a comprehensive approach that incorporates lessons from past failures and acknowledges manufacturing constraints.
• Create, conduct, and analyze Design of Experiments (DOE) for development activities, especially those that relate to bump / die sort quality, yield and impact on CPI.
• Support development of advanced technologies for RF-SiP applications.
• Lead all aspects technology integration in to PAMIDs, perform technical risk assessment, launch mitigation plans and ensure yield and reliability metrics are met and are in line with PAMID release schedules.
• Understand substrate and assembly Packaging process details, SPC, Control plans, OCAPs, FMEAs, PCN, CARs and Quality metrics. Conduct audits, benchmarking and drive best practice methodologies to proactively prevent quality excursions as the technology ramps.
• Interface with foundries and OSATs for direct project management of critical programs.
• Resolve quality, yield and manufacturing problems with structed methods of problem solving.
• Lead all aspects technology integration into products, perform technical risk assessment, launch mitigation plans and ensure yield and reliability metrics are met and are in line with product release schedules.
• Team cross-functionally with, Design, Device process development, Packaging, FEA and global NPI teams to support technology readiness for new products
• Ideate, Sketch and Participate in value engineering and cost reduction plans along with Qualcomm Packaging and Sourcing teams.
• Ensure product readiness for ramp. Protect product integrity post ramp.
