Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation

You prepare comprehensive documentation for our manufacturing sites, including Work Instructions and SOPs.

Drive failure analysis and root‑cause investigation

You lead structured FA, including FMEA, fishbone, DOE, and corrective actions—ensuring issues are resolved systematically.

Plan and execute wafer‑lot processing

You initiate, monitor, and manage wafer lots, including holds, pauses, and releases.

Optimize production planning and efficiency

You identify risks, anticipate downtime, and implement mitigation strategies before and during ramp‑up.

Support production with troubleshooting and improvements

You work hands‑on with manufacturing to diagnose issues and implement sustainable corrective actions.

Collaborate closely with PM and Technical Project Lead

You ensure alignment of deliverables, timelines, and quality throughout the project lifecycle.
