Wolviston Management Services is supporting an innovative manufacturer in the recruitment of a Yield Integration Engineer to join its growing engineering team in County Durham.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced engineer to play a key role in the development, integration, qualification, and production launch of advanced technologies. Working within a state-of-the-art cleanroom environment, you will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust, manufacturable process flows that support technology development and production excellence.

The Role As a Yield Integration Engineer, you will be responsible for integrating individual semiconductor processes into stable, repeatable manufacturing flows that support high yield, product quality, and process capability.
Working closely with Process, Device, Design, Quality, and Production teams, you will support new technologies throughout the entire product lifecycle, from early-stage development and qualification through to production ramp-up.

Key Responsibilities
Support the development and integration of new semiconductor technologies in line with the company's technology roadmap.
Develop, maintain, and optimise integrated manufacturing process flows.
Identify integration risks and implement effective corrective actions.
Plan, coordinate, and execute engineering trials to validate process capability and manufacturability.
Analyse process, electrical, and yield data to identify trends and improvement opportunities.
Lead root cause investigations relating to process excursions, yield performance, and device-related issues.
Apply continuous improvement methodologies including SPC, DOE, and FMEA techniques.
Support process qualification activities, technology gate reviews, and change control processes.
Collaborate with Process and Yield Engineering teams to improve process capability, device performance, and manufacturing yield.
Support the successful transfer of new technologies into full-scale manufacturing.
Ensure all activities are completed in accordance with quality, environmental, health, and safety requirements. About You We are looking for a motivated and analytical engineer with a background in semiconductor manufacturing, process development, or technology integration.
You will have a strong understanding of how manufacturing processes interact and influence device performance, yield, and operational efficiency, alongside the ability to work effectively within cross-functional engineering teams.
