Senior Manager 2, Materials Engineering

BASIC FUNCTION OF THE JOB:

• Serve as a provider of advanced scientific and engineering expertise, leading diverse groups of engineers and specialists with different technical backgrounds to troubleshoot complex process, component, and product issues related to materials science and chemistry, including:
• Coppermetallized ceramic substrates
• Soldering processes, wire bonding, and product reliability
• Cleaning and other wetchemical processes
• Semiconductor wafer surface treatment, plating, and coating
• Metal mechanical parts with surface treatments such as anodizing, plating, and coating
• Epoxy, underfill, encapsulant, and adhesive systems
• Thermal pads, greases, films, and TIMs used for heattransfer optimization
• Apply analytical thinking grounded in fundamental engineering principles to challenge assumptions and guide teams toward effective solutions, ensuring all rootcause analyses are supported by robust technical data. Prepare detailed English technical reports for internal and external use, and develop concise presentations for management and customers. This role requires strong handson expertise with failure analysis (FA) tools to support and validate findings from both domestic and international Failure Analysts.
• The individual is expected to observe manufacturing processes directly and work collaboratively with operators and engineers to gain deep process understanding. Based on these insights, the role will identify and propose technical miniprojects to improve process robustness, stability, and capability. The candidate must be able to review process data, perform analytical assessments, and execute complex experiments using Design of Experiments (DOE) methodologies to investigate root causes. They will then lead teams to develop solutions and present followup corrective actions to management.
• In addition, the individual will collaborate with international experts to support processdevelopment activities, contribute new processimprovement strategies, and provide technical support for customer quality issues related to thermoelectric devices and components, including onsite support at customer facilities when required.
