About the role

Yield Engineer focused on correlating RF final test results with front-end wafer-level performance to identify and eliminate root causes of yield loss. Develops and implements RF test solutions, manages test workflows, and drives process improvements across wafer probe and final test operations for Starlink/Akoustis under SpaceX.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement RF test cases and calibration procedures for BAW filter devices operating in the 2 GHz to >10 GHz range
  • Establish strong linkages between wafer probe data and final RF test performance, driving root cause analysis of yield detractors
  • Use statistical tools such as SPC and DOE to monitor, control, and improve yield across the manufacturing flow
  • Develop and maintain Cost of Ownership (CoO) and risk models to evaluate probe test strategies and ensure effective test coverage
  • Sustain and optimize workflow and throughput in a high-mix RF test work center, driving continuous improvements in cycle time and cost
  • Collaborate with design teams to provide feedback on DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and yield optimization opportunities
  • Lead and mentor test operators, ensuring proper execution of test plans and maintenance of clean, organized workflows
  • Support installation and qualification of new test tools, including both capability enhancements and capacity expansions
  • Work closely with operation team and tool vendors to resolve equipment and process-related issues
  • Create and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), engineering instructions, and test documentation

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, materials science, or other STEM discipline
  • 5+ years of experience in RF testing, yield engineering, or semiconductor manufacturing(internship or professional)
