- Lead and collaborate with cross-functional teams—including Design, Diagnostics, Foundry Technology, Supply Chain, and other engineering groups—to resolve product‑related issues.
- Enhance and maintain the tools, methods, and processes required for generating team results.
REQUIRED SKILLS
- Coursework or experience in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Digital Logic, Circuit Theory, or Computer Architecture.
- Proficiency in programming or scripting languages such as Python, C, Java, Ruby, SQL, or shell scripting.
