Key Responsibilities
Provide tactical and strategic operational support for high-volume fab development, ramp, and sustaining activities as a senior production engineer, ensuring manufacturing readiness across the full product lifecycle including New Product Introduction (NPI) builds.
Define and drive global manufacturing decision-support tools, methodologies, and standards for multiple processes and products, partnering with the Decision Support Team to design and develop linear optimization models that reduce changeovers, optimize output, and improve cycle time.
Analyze current manufacturing and business processes to identify improvement opportunities, set operations targets, and drive data-driven decisions that optimize output, reduce cost, improve cycle time, and enhance overall factory performance and efficiency.
Develop, enhance, and troubleshoot factory reporting systems and dashboards to provide real-time visibility into factory health, capacity, and performance metrics.
Collaborate with the Industrial Engineering department to evaluate and align factory capacity and equipment availability against current and future product demand, proactively surfacing bottlenecks and capacity gaps to ensure 100 percent on-time delivery, customer commitment attainment, and cycle time target achievement.
Own end-to-end lot-level customer order management within the production line, applying structured foundry prioritization methods to proactively detect delivery risks, drive timely corrective actions, and consistently achieve on-time customer commit attainment ahead of due dates while balancing competing priorities across multiple customer product lines simultaneously.
Collaborate with global foundry operations, planning teams, and business partners to solve problems impacting factory operations, capacity, and factory health driven by enterprise planning and scheduling systems.
Drive continuous process improvements by partnering with the production and Industrial Engineering departments to optimize foundry operations, eliminate flow disruptions, and ensure all products move through the line without delays.
Define and drive requirements for manufacturing automation systems supporting key product roadmaps to deliver 100 percent of sales orders on time.
The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits
Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to translate complex manufacturing challenges into clear operational actions, manage customer-facing delivery commitments, and influence cross-functional teams at all levels of the organization.
This role requires on-site presence to fulfill essential job responsibilities.
