Samsung Electronics DS Evaluation & Analysis · SK Hynix PE/AE Job Selection Lecture for Applicants
Based on my experience at Samsung Electronics DS, ranging from chip design to wafer testing, packaging, and reliability evaluation,
I have organized the preparation for applying to Evaluation & Analysis, Product Engineering, and Application Engineering.
Business unit selection, resume material organization, and interview response strategies are guided according to the application preparation flow.
Coach Sam's existing circuit and board design lectures focused on the process of creating design outputs.
This lecture is different. It was newly created to help you prepare for applications in Evaluation & Analysis and PE/AE roles.
The number of applicants interested in Samsung Electronics DS and SK Hynix has increased.
Rather than applying after looking deeply into the entire semiconductor industry from the start, many begin their preparation because they first became interested in these two companies. This is a natural choice.
The problem is what comes next.
I have decided on the company, but I am at a loss as to which job position to apply for.
For circuit design or process design, there are many applicants with relevant majors, projects, or master's degrees, and for process/facility/mass production technology, the competition is tough due to the wide pool of applicants.
In this case, the realistic options are Evaluation & Analysis, PE (Product Engineering), and AE (Application Engineering).
However, for these roles, if you apply based on the name alone, your interview answers will easily falter. Simply memorizing keywords like Yield, Wafer Map, Shmoo Plot, PVT, ATE, and Reliability is not enough.
You must be able to explain your own experiences from a product evaluation perspective.
This lecture raises your understanding of Evaluation & Analysis and PE/AE to a level where you can effectively discuss them in applications and interviews.
We compare the five business divisions of Samsung Electronics DS and the five job roles at SK Hynix based on the same criteria, and
transform your major, projects, experiments, and data experience into expressions that can be used in self-introductions and interviews.
What is covered
What is not covered
Data analysis practice continues in the subsequent 8-week course.
In this lecture, we first establish the necessary job selection, experience organization, and direction for self-introductions and interviews.
Therefore, even those new to PE/AE can step-by-step understand "what they need to prepare."
There are many semiconductor job preparation courses on the market.
Most cover processes, equipment, mass production technology, or semiconductor roles in general.
There are relatively few courses that treat Evaluation & Analysis or PE/AE as separate topics and explain them by dividing business divisions and specific roles.
This lecture does not stop at just "wanting to go to a semiconductor company."
It goes as far as explaining which business unit you should look into at Samsung DS, how to distinguish between PE and AE at SK hynix, and even what expressions you should use to rephrase your experiences.
Narrowing down the job roles.
We will even break it down by business unit.
We compare Samsung DS Memory, S.LSI, Foundry, TSP, AVP, and SK Hynix PE/AE-related roles based on the same criteria.
Transforming experiences into sentences
Organize your major experiments, projects, and data analysis experiences into sentences that can be used in applications and interviews.
Evaluation & Analysis and PE/AE are roles that verify whether a product meets actual standards and interpret defect and yield issues through data.
While these roles differ from those that design new circuits or directly create processes, there is significant potential to connect them with experiences in major experiments, circuit projects, process training, and statistical analysis.
However, simply memorizing job titles and definitions will lead to difficulties when explaining them during an interview.
Instead of just saying, "I will analyze defects," you must be able to explain what data you will look at and how you will categorize the causes.
This lecture is the preparation process for crafting those explanations.Khóa học này chính là quá trình chuẩn bị để bạn có thể đưa ra những lời giải thích đó.
Circuit Design / Process Design
Major suitability and project depth are important.
You need experience that can deeply demonstrate the design and process itself.
Process / Equipment / Mass Production Technology
The range of eligible majors is broad.
As such, there are many applicants, and you must demonstrate your job suitability specifically.
Evaluation & Analysis / PE / AE
It involves product evaluation, data interpretation, defect root cause isolation, and customer system evaluation.
If you can explain your major-related experience from a product evaluation perspective, your application direction will start to become clear.
If even one of the four points below makes you think, "Is this about me?", please read until the end.
1. Those who have not yet decided which business division to apply for
This is for those who find it difficult to determine which business unit matches their experience, even after looking at the Memory, S.LSI, Foundry, TSP, and AVP job postings.
2. Those who are confused about the difference between PE and AE
Many people often get stuck when choosing a job category because they don't know what SK Hynix PE, AE, and Solution PE each look for.
4. Those who are unable to translate their major-related experiences into a self-introduction letter
It will be helpful if you have experience with OP Amps, Verilog/FPGA, process experiments, or data analysis but are unsure how to connect them to the Evaluation and Analysis role.
4. Those whose interview answers tend to be too abstract
If you have heard of keywords like Yield, Wafer Map, Shmoo Plot, and Reliability but feel lost on what order to use them in an interview, this lecture will help you establish a structured response sequence.

After teaching
First, organize the business division and job candidates to apply for based on your major and experience.
Before taking the course
The major projects are listed as they are, so the self-introduction letter does not connect well with the job role.
After training
Reorganize your experiences in the order of Measurement → Data → Cause Determination → Improvement Results.
Before
I know keywords like yield, Shmoo Plot, and reliability, but I can't connect them to interview answers.
After taking the course
Organize the question intent, answer sequence, and experience connection method to create a draft answer.
Can I use the expressions that worked in my Samsung self-introduction letter exactly as they are for my SK self-introduction letter?
Even for the same product evaluation-related tasks, job titles and expressions vary by company.
Content that appears grouped under "Evaluation and Analysis" at Samsung Electronics DS may be divided into PE, AE, Solution PE, etc., at SK hynix.
If you are unaware of these differences, you will be confused from the very moment you choose which job to apply for.

Circuit Design Mentor Coach Sam
I have not only experienced design roles but have also directly gone through the entire process of wafer testing, packaging, and reliability evaluation, where the chip is verified as an actual product. Therefore, I can explain the preparation for Evaluation & Analysis and PE/AE roles from both a design and a product perspective.
Q. Do we practice creating Wafer Maps or Shmoo Plots directly in this course?
A. In this course, we first look at how these topics relate to Evaluation & Analysis and PE/AE roles. Project-based practice, where you code and produce results yourself, will be conducted in the subsequent 8-week course.
Q. Is it okay if I don't know Python at all?
A. Yes. Python practice is not the main focus of this lecture. It is designed to help you understand what topics you will encounter before moving on to data analysis learning.
Q. Can non-semiconductor majors take this course?
A. Yes. In fact, non-majors or students from other fields often get stuck because they don't know how to connect their experiences to Evaluation & Analysis or PE/AE. I have included a separate section on how to translate experiences based on each major.
Q. Is it worth listening to even if I am preparing for circuit design or process design?
A. This lecture does not cover circuit design or process design in depth. However, it is helpful for those who want to convert those experiences into materials for applying to Evaluation & Analysis or PE/AE.
Q. I am only preparing for Samsung Electronics; do I still need to listen to the SK hynix part?
A. If you are only preparing for Samsung Electronics, you may skim through the SK hynix part quickly. However, comparing the job titles and task expressions of the two companies will give you a clearer understanding of the Evaluation & Analysis role.
Q. When will the Job Strategy Report be completed?
A. After comparing business units and job roles, a draft is created in the experience conversion part, and the content is reinforced in the interview response part. Finally, the target job, self-introduction materials, and interview response direction are organized into a single document.
Q. What are the course duration and refund policies?
A. The course duration and refunds follow Inflearn's policies. Please check the course duration and refund information on the lecture page before making a payment.
Q. How do I ask questions during the course?
