Manufacturing Engineer

The Line Steward (Industrial/Manufacturing Engineer) is part of the Fab Operations organization and is responsible for improving wafer fab production performance through data analysis, constraint identification, and process improvement.

This role partners closely with Operations, Equipment, Process Engineering, and Production Control to identify inefficiencies and implement sustainable solutions that improve flow, productivity, and manufacturing performance.

You will be working with teams of Technicians, Engineers and Supervisors optimizing material flow to accelerate the cycle of learning on the development side. Delivering products to market faster is a key goal.

Responsibilities

• Analyze fab data to identify bottlenecks, queue-time issues, cycle-time drivers, WIP imbalances, capacity constraints, and sources of variability.
• Use industrial engineering and Lean methods to improve wafer movement, tool utilization, dispatching, staffing, and production flow.
• Develop dashboards and metrics that make line performance and constraints visible and actionable.
• Lead structured improvement projects using root-cause analysis, time studies, capacity modeling, and data analysis.
• Work directly with fab teams to test, implement, and sustain improvements.
• Measure results and verify that changes produce measurable improvements in cycle time, throughput, WIP, productivity, or tool utilization.
• Exercises independent judgment within defined parameters.
• Acts as team member by providing information, analysis and recommendations in support of team efforts.
