About The Position

Create, develop, and optimize processes to improve product quality, process yield, cost, productivity, and risk management, and resolve manufacturing line problems. Identify, diagnose, and resolve process-related problems using failure analysis, FMEA, 8D, and SPC/FDC methodologies. Coordinate and perform process, equipment, and material evaluations and optimization; implement process-step changes; lead and participate in yield-improvement and cost-optimization activities; qualify new process baselines; and manage, audit, and collaborate with material suppliers to achieve quality, cost, and risk-mitigation objectives. Monitor assigned process health, ensure high-quality output, and provide proactive redundancy plans for bottlenecks that could affect fab cycle time or turns.

The employer will accept a Master’s degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field and five years of experience in the job offered or a related occupation.
