</ul>
<p>and substrate pad finishes for robust interconnect performance.</p>
<ul>
<li>Drive package integration from die to substrate, ensuring alignment, coplanarity,</li>
</ul>
<p>and yield optimization.</p>
<ul>
<li>Evaluate and mitigate assembly risks including warpage, non-wet opens, voiding,</li>
</ul>
<p>head-in-pillow, and interconnect defects.</p>

</ul>
<p>rules (pad pitch, bump pitch, keep-outs, stack-ups).</p>
<ul>
<li>Lead process development for reflow profiles, flux selection, cleaning, and underfill</li>
</ul>
<p>dispense/cure.</p>
<ul>
<li>Perform root cause analysis of assembly and reliability failures using cross-</li>
</ul>
<p>sectioning, SEM, CSAM, and other failure analysis techniques.</p>
<ul>
<li>Support reliability qualification including thermal cycling, drop, mechanical shock,</li>
</ul>
<p>and power cycling.</p>
<ul>
<li>Work cross-functionally with design, reliability, thermal, and manufacturing teams</li>
</ul>
<p>to ensure robust package performance from concept through high-volume</p>
<p>production.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Required Technical Skills:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Strong experience in flip chip packaging and assembly processes for</li>
</ul>
<p>semiconductor devices.</p>
<ul>
<li>Deep understanding of bumping technologies (solder bumps, Cu pillar, micro-</li>
</ul>
<p>bumps) and UBM/metallization systems.</p>
<ul>
<li>Experience with underfill materials, dispense techniques, flow behavior, and cure</li>
</ul>
<p>processes.</p>
<ul>
<li>Understanding of thermo-mechanical behavior in flip chip assemblies (CTE</li>
</ul>
<p>mismatch, warpage, solder fatigue, reliability risks).</p>
<ul>
<li>Hands-on experience with failure analysis and reliability testing (cross-sections,</li>
</ul>
<p>SEM, CSAM, thermal cycling).</p>
<ul>
<li>Ability to work with OSATs and suppliers to develop and transfer assembly</li>
</ul>
<p>processes into production.</p>
<ul>
