This role includes monitoring wafer fabrication processes, analyzing manufacturing parameters, applying statistical methods, and leveraging predictive analytics to optimize process control. You'll also contribute to product success during launches and technology ramps while ensuring compliance with global quality standards
  • Focus on analyzing yield and process issues to support customer needs and drive improvements in semiconductor manufacturing. Your work will involve identifying process and quality "sweet spots" to optimize yield efficiency, performing detailed layout analyses to uncover root causes, and conducting electrical and physical failure analyses to pinpoint process-stage issues
  • Be responsible for ensuring the performance, reliability, and efficiency of photomask tools within our advanced manufacturing operations. This role involves collaborating with tool owners to manage the installation and maintenance of photomask equipment, partnering with tool vendors to improve maintenance processes, and developing in-line monitoring systems to proactively identify and address potential issues
  • Focus on supporting the installation of manufacturing equipment and tools by conducting site assessments, preparing installation plans, and coordinating timelines with internal teams. You will work on projects such as surveying construction sites to identify optimization opportunities, developing improvement proposals, and presenting findings through reports or visual presentations. Demonstrate project management skills by identifying bottlenecks in the installation process and recommending solutions to streamline operations
  • Focus on supporting and promoting workplace safety and environmental sustainability efforts in advanced semiconductor facilities. Collaborate with departments to implement safety protocols, evaluate hazards (e.g., radiation, lasers, gases, chemicals), conduct risk assessments, and refine high-risk SOPs to ensure a safe and compliant work environment
  • Be part of TSMC's DevOps team to tackle analytical projects and machine vision tasks that address production line issues. Work on projects like pattern recognition, machine learning, and web development while learning agile software development, implement Prometheus and Grafana monitoring services that were deployed to Kubernetes platform, implemented automated deployment pipelines utilizing Microsoft Azure DevOps and machine learning/statistics model or algorithms developed

Skills

  • Applicants must be legally eligible to work in the United States
  • Candidates must currently be enrolled at an accredited university pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Industrial Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction, or other related engineering fields
  • Business, finance, law or other related fields are also included
  • Must be able to work full-time (40 hours per week) on-site
  • Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing process and design would be a strong add
  • Flexibility to change priorities and responsibilities to support business needs
  • Candidate will be expected to be self-motivated learner, good at proactive collaboration, and should get the opportunity to work in a team presenting and discussion their work and ideas
  • Strong communication, computer, presentation, listening, working with others needed to contribute to the team and TSMC's culture
  • Some roles may require the ability to lift weights in accordance with applicable regulations and safety guidelines, including NIOSH lifting recommendations
  • Able to work in a cleanroom environment, gowning up in coveralls, hoods, boots, safety glasses and gloves
  • Spend significant amount of time on the factory floor working on the tools

Benefits

  • Relocation assistance available.
