Manufacturing Execution: Coordinate reactor loading, recipe execution, material movement, in-process checks, documentation, and shift handoff activities to meet daily and weekly output, cycle-time, and delivery targets.
Equipment availability: Coordinate planned and corrective maintenance, troubleshooting, and return-to-service activities. Confirm technicians follow approved maintenance procedures and document work accurately.
Quality: Ensure compliance with work instructions, process specifications, control plans, SPC requirements, and material traceability standards. Contain nonconforming material, initiate required documentation, and escalate deviations promptly.
Problem response: Address routine production, staffing, quality, and equipment issues using established procedures. Engage engineering, equipment, facilities, EHS, or management when issues exceed defined authority or technical capability.
Communication: Lead shift start-up meetings and provide clear written and verbal handoffs covering safety concerns, reactor status, production progress, material disposition, maintenance work, and open actions.
People supervision: Provide day-to-day direction, coaching, training reinforcement, and factual performance feedback. Monitor attendance, qualification status, work quality, and adherence to company policies; elevate formal employee-relations matters to management and HR.
Training and qualification: Maintain adequate shift coverage by tracking operator and technician qualifications, assigning trainers, and verifying completion of required training before independent work.
Continuous improvement: Support 5S, standard-work, waste-reduction, uptime, yield, and cycle-time improvements. Provide practical shift-level input while following approved change-control processes.
Cost awareness: Help control overtime, consumables, spare-parts usage, scrap, and rework; provide input to unit-level cost management.
Inventory Management: Ensure new parts are properly received, inspected, stored and cataloged. Ensure material removed from stock are properly recorded.
Shipping: Lead night shift finished goods shipping activity including wafer preparation, documentation and packaging.

Proficiency with standard business and manufacturing systems used for email, reporting, training records, maintenance, production tracking, and document control.
Ability and willingness to work the designated night-shift schedule, including required overtime, weekends, holidays, and emergency coverage as needed.
Preferred
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, manufacturing, operations, or a related discipline.
Experience in MOCVD, epitaxy, wafer fabrication, vacuum systems, gas delivery, abatement, facilities interfaces, or semiconductor equipment maintenance.
Experience supervising both production operators and maintenance technicians on an off-shift.
Knowledge of SPC, MES, CMMS, deviation control, root-cause analysis, 5S, and structured continuous-improvement methods.
Current or prior qualification in hazardous-material handling, emergency response, lockout/tagout, or other site-specific safety programs.
Experience with MOCVD, CVD or metrology equipment diagnostics and repair.
Leadership Competencies
