  Operational Excellence & Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with R&D, Quality, and Production teams to transition new processes into high-volume manufacturing.
  • Facilitate Kaizen workshops, standard work documentation (SOPs, work instructions), and GMP compliance.
  • Mentor engineers and technicians in process troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and yield optimization.
  • Perform time studies, value stream mapping, and OEE analysis to identify and eliminate waste.
  • Engage directly with equipment vendors and contractors to resolve complex manufacturing issues
  • Ability to summarize complex information into executive-friendly presentations

The experience you bring

• B.S. in Industrial Engineering.
• 7+ years of experience in semiconductor or optics manufacturing, including automation projects.
• Proven experience with AMHS / OHV / AGV systems or other semiconductor automation technologies.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for layout and space optimization.
• Proficiency in FlexSim, Siemens Plant Simulation, or similar discrete event simulation tools.
• Advanced knowledge of SPC, MSA, CPK, OEE, and DOE methodologies.
• Six Sigma Green Belt or higher certification.
• Skilled in data analysis tools such as JMP, Minitab, or Python for process modeling.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and cross-functional leadership skills.
• Hands-on cleanroom experience in semiconductor or optics manufacturing.
• Familiarity with wet cleans, lithography, etching or vacuum process tools.
• Experience in designing automation layouts and data-driven process control loops.
• Management of an industrial engineering team

It’s exciting if you also have

• Strong analytical problem solver with systems-level thinking.
• Excellent project management and multitasking skills in fast-paced environments.
• Deep understanding of lean manufacturing principles and statistical thinking.
• High level of initiative, ownership, and ability to influence cross-functional teams.
• Comfortable operating in high-tech, multicultural, and cleanroom environments.
