• Act as the technical owner for PVD solutions at assigned OSATs and Fabless accounts, ensuring alignment between design requirements and manufacturing processes.
• Understand Customers and Fabless stakes holders technical roadmap.
• Partner with Fabless packaging architects to define material stacks, reliability criteria, and integration flows; translate these into executable solutions for OSATs.
• Lead joint qualification programs involving Fabless and OSAT stakeholders: define success metrics, DoEs, and acceptance gates; manage execution to schedule.

• Establish process-of-record (POR) for advanced packaging applications (e.g., RDL barrier/seed, TSV liners, hybrid bonding underlayers).
• Drive tool acceptance (FAT/SAT) and HVM ramp at OSAT sites: SPC setup, chamber matching, defectivity control, and yield stabilization.
• Validate PVD film integrity under Fabless-driven reliability tests (JEDEC/IPC standards: EM, TDDB, thermal cycling).

• Coordinate with Applied Materials' Product Engineering, Field Service, and Quality teams to deliver robust solutions tailored to OSAT and Fabless needs.
• Resolve integration challenges across packaging flows (e.g., ESD, adhesion, contamination, stress) through structured problem-solving.

• Lead structured root cause analysis on yield/reliability excursions; implement corrective actions and verify effectiveness.
• Provide feedback to internal engineering for hardware and process enhancements based on OSAT and Fabless requirements.

• Bachelor's or Master's in Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or related field; PhD preferred.
• 10+ years in semiconductor equipment/process engineering with strong PVD experience in Advanced Packaging (FO-WLP, 2.5D/3D, RDL/UBM).
• Proven success enabling solutions through direct engagement with OSATs and Fabless design houses.

• Experience enabling hybrid bonding or chiplet integration through PVD underlayers.
• Familiarity with APAC OSAT ecosystem and Fabless packaging roadmaps.
• Proficiency in SPC, DOE, metrology, and yield analytics.
• Expertise in thin-film metallurgy (Cu, Ni, Ti, Ta/TaN, Co) and reliability-critical stack design.
• Strong communication skills to engage executive Fabless stakeholders and OSAT engineering teams.

• Science Park II (Moving to Tampines in end 2026)
