This position analyzes manufacturing, inline metrology, defect, wafer-level electrical test, and process data to identify yield-loss mechanisms, determine root causes, and lead implementation of sustainable corrective actions. The engineer serves as a senior technical resource connecting fab process performance to device and product yield. The role works cross-functionally with Process Engineering, Equipment Engineering, Process Integration, Product/Test Engineering, Failure Analysis, Quality, and Manufacturing to improve yield, reduce variability, and accelerate resolution of complex manufacturing problems. ### Responsibilities Lead wafer-fab yield improvement initiatives, identifying and prioritizing the dominant yield-loss mechanisms and converting analysis into actionable improvement projects. Analyze wafer probe maps, electrical test/bin data, inline metrology, defect inspection data, equipment/process history, and lot genealogy to isolate sources of systematic and random yield loss. Perform correlation, regression, statistical analysis, wafer spatial analysis, trend analysis, and other data-mining techniques to identify relationships between process conditions and electrical yield. Lead complex root-cause investigations involving process excursions, recurring yield degradation, wafer-level signatures, equipment effects, materials, and process interactions. Partner with Process and Equipment Engineering to translate yield signatures into physical process hypotheses and validate corrective actions. Define and execute structured experiments and DOE to validate suspected yield drivers and optimize process windows. Use SPC and process-capability analysis to identify process variation and opportunities for improved manufacturing control. Correlate WAT, wafer sort, inline process-monitoring, defect, and manufacturing data to identify yield improvement opportunities. Work with Failure Analysis teams to develop appropriate physical-analysis plans and translate findings into manufacturing actions. Develop analyses and engineering reports that clearly communicate yield trends, excursions, root causes, improvement opportunities, and project status. Lead cross-functional technical reviews for significant yield excursions and improvement programs. Support new-product and/or technology introduction by identifying yield risks, establishing baseline performance, and accelerating learning during manufacturing ramp. Mentor less-experienced engineers in statistical analysis, structured problem solving, yield analysis, and fab troubleshooting. Identify opportunities to improve fab-wide yield-analysis methods, data infrastructure, and problem-solving practices. ## Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related technical discipline. Significant (8-10 years) engineering experience in semiconductor wafer fabrication, preferably involving yield, process integration, process engineering, product engineering, or device engineering. Strong understanding of semiconductor wafer fabrication processes and the relationship between process variation, device characteristics, defects, and electrical yield. Demonstrated ability to perform statistical analysis and solve complex manufacturing problems using large manufacturing datasets. Experience with statistical/data-analysis tools such as JMP, or comparable platforms. Working knowledge of SPC, DOE, process capability, correlation/regression, hypothesis testing, and structured root-cause analysis. Ability to communicate complex technical conclusions clearly to engineering and manufacturing organizations. Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical problem-solving efforts. ### Preferred Qualifications Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related discipline. Experience correlating inline process/defect data → WAT/electrical data → wafer-sort/final yield. Experience with wafer-map and spatial-pattern analysis. Experience with semiconductor defect inspection and/or physical failure analysis. Experience creating automated yield-analysis or data-mining tools. Knowledge of semiconductor device physics and electrical test structures. Experience supporting technology or product ramps in a high-volume wafer fabrication environment Due to the nature of this position and the required access to areas where ITAR-controlled articles and/or technical data may be present, candidates must meet the applicable U.S. person requirements for ITAR access. This includes individuals who are: A U.S. citizen or U.S. national; A lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder); or A protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3). ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 28, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 26, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 2, 2026 - Listed for: 7 days - Location: Palm Bay, Florida, United States - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Renesas Electronics’s careers site →](https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/RenesasElectronics/744000158339179-wafer-fab-yield-process-engineer) ## Hiring at Renesas Electronics - Open jobs: 774 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Oct 12, 2026 [All Renesas Electronics jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Renesas Electronics ### [Implant Equipment Engineer (Semiconductor)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/3cebeeaa98cf53d6d5fa/) Palm Bay, Florida, United States ### [Supervisor, Manufacturing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/9452eb5bb74c2729d684/) Palm Bay, Florida, United States ### [ETCH Equipment Maintenance Technician](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/2e2186c5b5097d756dfc/) Palm Bay, Florida, United States ### [Electronics Test Technician](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/960045c8a1029f7fc588/) Palm Bay, Florida, United States ### [Equipment Maintenance Technician (Diffusion)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/e2c09c477efae71408b7/) Palm Bay, Florida, United States ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Wafer Fab Training Coordinator, Raxium](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/8d0467ec2065b537876b/) Alphabet · Fremont, CA, USA ### [Shift Supervisor - Wafer Fab](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/macom-technology-solutions-holdings/jobs/603713ad343ac3101033/) MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings · Durham, NC ### [Wafer Fab Process Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/teledyne-technologies/jobs/3ca8b34322440b331adc/) Teledyne Technologies · Goleta, US, CA ### [IC Wafer Fab Process Engineering Technician](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/keysight-technologies/jobs/f1c2882aac3a8f9068cc/) Keysight Technologies · Santa Rosa, California OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
