Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive theoretical and practical training on integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing processes including wafer handling, die attach, wire bonding, flip-chip, encapsulation, trimming, forming, singulation, electrical testing, burn-in, and final testing.
• Instruct trainees on operating semiconductor equipment, tool handling, and basic troubleshooting techniques.
• Educate on cleanroom procedures, electrostatic discharge (ESD) control, contamination prevention, and safety protocols.
• Explain the IC manufacturing workflow from wafer to final packaging, including yield, defect analysis, and failure mechanisms.
• Facilitate hands-on labs, simulations, and demonstrations aligned with the OSAT curriculum and organize practice assessments to prepare trainees for OSAT/NSQF skill certification.
• Uphold quality systems compliance such as Statistical Process Control (SPC), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and ISO standards relevant to IC manufacturing.
• Manage maintenance, calibration, and readiness of training equipment, ESD stations, and consumables.
• Monitor and document trainee attendance, performance, and skill progression.
• Assist internal and external assessors during certification assessments.
• Provide orientation on industry expectations, shift work culture, and shop floor discipline.
• Collaborate with industry partners, assessment agencies, and placement coordinators when needed.
