About the roleADI’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.Key responsibilitiesDefect 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.Excursion response support: Support defect excursion investigations, including data pull/analysis, containment documentation, and disposition support for discrepant material.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).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.Cross-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.Data analysis and reporting: Analyze defect and yield data using KLARITY ACE Defect or similar software; communicate findings through clear written updates and presentations.Best practices and knowledge sharing: Learn and apply best-known methods (BKMs), and share learnings with peers and technicians as part of project execution.Education and experienceB.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Device Physics, or related technical field.2+ years of experience driving defect reduction and yield enhancement in CMOS/BiCMOS or bipolar technologies and semiconductor unit processes.Strong communication skills (written, verbal, presentation).Strong analytical/problem-solving skills; able to make decisions using data.Ability to drive projects to closure while managing shifting priorities.Statistical analysis experience (t-test, ANOVA) and familiarity with JMP (or similar statistical software).Preferred qualificationsExperience with defect inspection and review tools (e.g., KLA/ONTO bright field, dark field, Automated SEM review or similar tool set).Experience 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.For 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.
