Defect/Integration Engineer

About the role

Analog Devices' Limerick Defect/Integration team is looking for a motivated engineer to drive defect reduction and yield improvement across wafer fab layers. You will work in a fast‑growing environment as the fab expands its capacity.

Key responsibilities

• Lead defect reduction and yield improvement projects for assigned layers.
• Identify top Pareto items impacting defect density and collaborate with work centres to implement solutions.
• Use Statistical Process Control (SPC) to monitor inline defects, maintain control limits, and flag genuine issues.
• Detect excursions, respond quickly, contain issues, and implement preventive actions.
• Maintain and improve inspection recipes to maximize capture of relevant defects while minimizing nuisance detections.

Required profile

• Curious, agile, and flexible with strong problem‑solving and data‑analysis abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously under tight timelines.
• Willingness to learn detailed process flows and how different layers and tools interact.
• Capability to read and interpret wafer cross‑sections (FIB, SEM, TEM, EDX).

Required skills

• Root‑cause analysis of complex technical challenges.
• Data mining with Klarity Defect, SAS, JMP, and ACE.
• Design of Experiments (DoE) for problem solving.
• Statistical Process Control (SPC) and general statistics knowledge.
• Python programming (bonus).
• Experience with FIB, SEM, TEM, and EDX analysis (bonus).

What we offer

• Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge semiconductor manufacturing.
• Exposure to all fab areas and cross‑functional teams.
• Professional growth in a rapidly expanding facility.
