Position Summary

The main focus of the DX Engineer in the Metals Department at Samsung Austin Semiconductor, is to update how we handle data and tools on the fab floor. They build and maintain the data ingestion pipelines and interaction tools that the department relies on, making sure everything is secure, stable, and runs with minimal manual intervention.

In addition to system maintenance, a big part of their role is working directly with equipment and process engineers to find where improvements can be made. They will take those pain points and turn them into automated tools that help us catch quality issues faster and improve overall yield.
