For more than 55 years, Analog Devices has been inventing new breakthrough technologies that transform lives. At ADI you will work alongside the brightest minds to collaborate on solving complex problems that matter from autonomous vehicles, drones and factories to augmented reality and remote healthcare.\nADI fosters a culture that focuses on employees through beneficial programs, aligned goals, continuous learning opportunities, and practices that create a more sustainable future.\nAbout Analog Devices\nAnalog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) is a global semiconductor leader that bridges the physical and digital worlds to enable breakthroughs at the Intelligent Edge. ADI combines analog, digital, AI, and software technologies into solutions that combat climate change, reliably connect humans and the world, and help drive advancements in automation and robotics, mobility, healthcare, energy and data centers. With revenue of more than $11 billion in FY25, ADI ensures today's innovators stay Ahead of What's Possible. Learn more at www.analog.com and on LinkedIn and X.\nAbout the role\nADI’s Front-End Fab Quality organization drives customer satisfaction through continuous improvement in front-end manufacturing, with a focus on defect reduction, prevention, and yield enhancement. This role is based at ADI’s wafer fabrication facility in Camas, Washington, and works cross-functionally to identify, contain, and eliminate yield-limiting defect mechanisms.\nKey responsibilities\nDefect control ownership: Own defect control across multiple semiconductor process flows; monitor SPC trends, run correlation/commonality analysis, and support timely corrective actions to prevent inline excursions.\nExcursion response support: Support defect excursion investigations, including data pull/analysis, containment documentation, and disposition support for discrepant material.\n Defect reduction execution: Support clear goals for yield-limiting defect types; execute initiatives using Pareto and yield kill ratio analysis; help build and maintain out-of-control action plans (OCAPs).\n Metrology tool support: Support defect inspection and SEM review tool performance (recipe robustness, matching checks, monitoring plans) across darkfield/brightfield Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and SEM review platforms.\nCross-functional problem solving: Collaborate with Integration, Process, Equipment, and Operations teams to plan and execute experiments, perform segmentation/spatial signature analysis, summarize results, and propose actionable process optimizations.\nData analysis and reporting: Analyze defect and yield data using KLARITY ACE Defect or similar software; communicate findings through clear written updates and presentations.\n Best practices and knowledge sharing: Learn and apply best-known methods (BKMs), and share learnings with peers and technicians as part of project execution.\nEducation and experience\nB.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Device Physics, or related technical field.\n2+ years of experience driving defect reduction and yield enhancement in CMOS/BiCMOS or bipolar technologies and semiconductor unit processes.\nStrong communication skills (written, verbal, presentation).\nStrong analytical/problem-solving skills; able to make decisions using data.\nAbility to drive projects to closure while managing shifting priorities.\nStatistical analysis experience (t-test, ANOVA) and familiarity with JMP (or similar statistical software).\nPreferred qualifications\nExperience with defect inspection and review tools (e.g., KLA/ONTO bright field, dark field, Automated SEM review or similar tool set).\nExperience analyzing defect-to-sort correlation, yield kill ratios, and spatial signatures using tools such as KLARITY ACE, KLARITY Defect, or PDF DataPower or similar analysis software.\nFor positions requiring access to technical data, Analog Devices, Inc. may have to obtain export licensing approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce - Bureau of Industry and Security and/or the U.S. Department of State - Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. As such, applicants for this position - except US Citizens, US Permanent Residents, and protected individuals as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3) - may have to go through an export licensing review process.\nAnalog Devices is an equal opportunity employer.
