Senior Staff ESD Compliance Engineer

Job title: Senior Staff ESD Compliance Engineer

About the Role This position sits in the Quality and Reliability organization and focuses on ESD line audit and readiness programs at supplier and customer facilities. The role ensures compliance with ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC 61340-5-1, JESD625, and MV-Q100070-00 to safeguard ESD-sensitive devices across the supply chain.

What You'll Do

• Conduct comprehensive ESD audits at supplier facilities (foundries, assembly subcontractors, test houses) and customer sites to verify compliance with ANSI/ESD S20.20, IEC 61340-5-1, JESD625, and MV-Q100070-00
• Assess ESD Protected Areas (EPA) including workstations, flooring, grounding systems, and personnel grounding equipment; evaluate control measures for advanced technology nodes
• Develop and implement ESD readiness strategies for manufacturing partners handling advanced semiconductor products; partner with SQE, CQE, and CE teams to establish ESD control requirements
• Provide technical guidance on flooring requirements including conductive and static-dissipative flooring systems, ISO 14644 cleanroom installations, and ESD flooring meeting ANSI/ESD S20.20 specifications
• Oversee ESD sensitivity testing programs (HBM, CDM, Latch-Up) and validate control systems including wrist strap and footwear testing, ionizer balance and charge decay performance, static voltage surveys, and surface/floor mat resistance measurements
• Prepare detailed audit reports with findings, corrective actions, and compliance status; maintain audit schedules and document best practices for continuous improvement
• Support ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 quality management system requirements; train and provide technical support on ESD control implementation
• Support new product introduction (NPI) with ESD readiness assessments; advise on ESD protective packaging requirements per IEC 61340-5-1
• Travel up to 25% domestically and internationally to supplier and customer facilities; maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate time zones and urgent audits

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related technical field; 10+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, quality engineering, or ESD control
• ESD Certification: Certified ESD Program Manager (CPM) or Certified ESD Technician (CET) from ESD Association strongly preferred
• Deep knowledge of ESD standards: ANSI/ESD S20.20, JESD625, JS-001, JS-002, IEC 61340-5-1
• Hands-on experience with ESD test equipment (wrist strap testers, surface resistance meters, ionizers, field meters); understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes and cleanroom standards (ISO 14644)
• Familiarity with advanced packaging technologies and co-packaged optics ESD challenges; experience with ESD requirements for advanced technology nodes (5nm and below) with CDM targets
