Engineer I Process_Grinding and Lamination - Philippines - Mphil 3, Philippines
Originally posted 6 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role is responsible for the development, characterization, qualification, and industrialization of wafer thinning technologies supporting advanced semiconductor packaging platforms. This includes focusing on developing robust backgrinding, wafer thinning, stress management, and wafer handling processes that enable high-yield, reliable, and manufacturable products.
What you'll do
- Lead the development and qualification of wafer backgrinding and thinning processes for new technology platforms and products.
- Establish process architecture, process windows, and technology roadmaps for wafer thinning applications.
- Evaluate and implement new grinding technologies, materials, consumables, and equipment solutions.
- Define process architecture, process flow, and critical process parameters to meet design, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
- Lead process transfer from development to pilot and high-volume manufacturing.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's Degree in Electronics Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Semiconductor Engineering, or Physics.
- Minimum 3 years of semiconductor manufacturing experience with direct experience in Backgrinding and Tape Lamination process.
- Experience with Engineering tools: Design of Experiment (DOE), Minitab or JMP, Statistical Process Control (SPC), FMEA, GRR, and Six Sigma tools.
- Familiarity with process characterization, recipe creation, and equipment or process troubleshooting.
- Knowledge of safety protocols and cleanroom practices.
Nice to have
- Strong experience with Fan-in and Fan-Out or advanced packaging tools.
