Identify, Select, and Deliver RDA Solutions to Support Process and Equipment Performance
Develop and sustain RDA monitoring strategies aligned to advanced packaging process requirements and equipment behavior
Translate process and equipment knowledge into effective Statistical Process Control (SPC), Fault Detection & Classification (FDC), and RDA rules, alarms, and diagnostics
Identify equipment-related process sensitivities, interactions, and failure modes, particularly during NPI and early ramp
Drive improvements in tool stability, repeatability, and process window control through data-driven insights
Support deployment and tuning of new RDA capabilities, scripts, dashboards, and automation logic for new tools and package types
Ensure monitoring strategies evolve appropriately as NPI transitions to HVM
Support Process and Equipment Readiness for NPI, Pilot, and Ramp Activities
Partner with Process and Equipment Engineers to support tool bring-up, qualification, and stabilization using RDA insights
Ensure critical process and equipment parameters are monitored effectively during NPI and pilot phases
Provide technical input to NPI readiness reviews, risk assessments, and ramp decision checkpoints
Support rapid root cause analysis and corrective actions for equipment- or process-driven Excursions
Validate monitoring coverage and effectiveness for new equipment platforms and process flows
Drive, Improve and Maintain Equipment and Process Performance Metrics
Analyze equipment and process performance metrics such as availability, stability, excursion rate, and recovery effectiveness
Use RDA and manufacturing data to identify chronic issues, systemic gaps, and improvement opportunities
Support MTTR reduction, tool performance optimization, and process capability improvement initiatives
Provide data-driven recommendations to improve equipment reliability and process robustness
Ensure accurate documentation and traceability of issues, actions, and improvements
Collaborating on Continuous Improvement and Standardization
Work closely with Site and Global RDA teams to standardize monitoring approaches across tools, processes, and sites
Collaborate with Equipment, Process, and NPI teams on continuous improvement projects and technology transitions
Provide technical guidance on RDA best practices from a process and equipment perspective
Participate in lessons learned, best practice sharing, and knowledge transfer activities
Support audits, technical reviews, and assessments with objective data and analysis
