About Role

The Technology Development Quality Assurance (TDQA) Engineer is responsible for assuring that new and transferred semiconductor technologies are developed, matured, qualified, released, and governed through a disciplined quality framework. The role acts as the quality interface between Technology Development, Process Integration, Design Enablement, Reliability, Yield, Manufacturing, Customer Engineering, and QMS to ensure that technology maturity, PDK readiness, design manual interpretation, device characterization evidence, reliability readiness, manufacturability indicators, and customer release permissions are controlled, traceable, and audit-ready.

The TDQA Engineer supports quality governance for technology development and transfer by applying APQP principles, PPAP / Safe Launch discipline, engineering change control, PDK maturity requirements, technology maturity requirements, statistical process control, yield learning, wafer-level testing interpretation, metrology / defectivity awareness, process-flow interpretation, and reliability-risk understanding. The role ensures that technology and PDK release decisions are evidence-based, risk-assessed, documented, and aligned with applicable Quality Management System requirements, including ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 where applicable.

This role serves as a governance facilitator and quality control point for technology-development reviews, PDK / design collateral readiness, document change reviews, engineering change reviews, technology status transitions, and external customer-facing release controls.
