About The Position

Monitor and sustain automation equipment performance, responding to efficiency losses related to AMHS flow, tool interfaces, system availability, and automation‑driven process delays. Trouble-shoot complex automation and material handling issues involving robotics, conveyors, stockers, controllers, sensors, and software interfaces using structured root‑cause analysis. Develop, document, and implement Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) for automation system changes, upgrades, and configuration improvements. Improve reaction mechanisms and procedures for automation‑related out-of-spec and out-of-control conditions impacting lot movement or tool availability. Analyze common automation failure modes and system interruptions, reporting trends and corrective actions to internal stake-holders. Use data extraction and analysis tools to monitor automation system health, utilization, and bottlenecks across the manufacturing line. Support automation equipment availability, tool‑to‑tool material flow, system qualifications, holds, releases, and ramp activities. Promote a strong safety culture by following and enforcing all safety and environmental policies related to automated equipment and material movement systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related technical field
• Experience working in a clean room/semiconductor environment
• Strong analytical, data‑driven problem‑solving skills and attention to detail. (Excel, JMP, or similar) and process control programs (SPACE) or similar
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to work effectively across teams
