Your Team, Your Impact

The package engineering team drives semiconductor package development from concept to mass production.

There is the excitement of always working on new projects and cutting-edge technologies.

  • Work with procurement and suppliers on package cost analysis.
  • Provide inputs to the package technology roadmap.

  • Bachelor’s degree in ME and Material science or related fields and 10 years of professional experience in the semiconductor packaging field OR Master’s degree and/or PhD in ME and Material science or related fields and 7 years of professional experience in the semiconductor packaging field.
  • Experience in substrate, RDL and assembly.
  • Experienced with flip-chip package development and substrate review.
  • Basic Cadence APD and AutoCAD skills.
  • Deep understanding of semiconductor technologies, 1st-level assembly processes, semiconductor packaging materials, reliability standards and failure analysis techniques.
  • The ideal candidate would be knowledgeable of 2D, 2.5D, 3D and wafer-level packaging.
  • Good communication skills that can enable the candidate to work well with internal cross functional teams and suppliers.
  • Good program management skills.
  • OSAT management experience is a plus.
  • Ability to work independently, provide leadership and to exercise discretion to solve complex problems.
  • Manager experience is a plus
