## Description

A new paradigm of computing

We are seeking a Sr. Manager, Equipment Engineering to join our team. As a critical leader, you will be responsible for multiple fabrication equipment modules and will play a key role in scaling manufacturing capability to support next-generation products.

This role demands a strategic leader with deep experience in semiconductor equipment improvement who can effectively bridge the gap between process and yield. You will ensure that fabrication equipment is available, producing high-quality products, and used efficiently.

Responsibilities:

- Develop and lead a world-class fabrication equipment team

- Influence design-for-manufacturability decisions in partnership with the development site and strategic sourcing/procurement

- Serve as the escalation point of contact/trade-off decision maker for all equipment-related issues

- Establish clear, quantifiable expectations for the systematic improvement in equipment performance KPIs related to yield, equipment availability, cycle time, and cost of ownership.

- Provide direct management and strategic guidance to the core team of equipment engineers

- Ensure alignment across fabrication modules, in particular, process and yield engineering

- Oversee the successful execution of the scale-up and ramp of fabrication capacity & capability

Requirements:

- 10+ years of experience in FEOL semiconductor fabrication in equipment-focused roles

- Demonstrated deep expertise in one or more major FEOL modules such as Litho, Etch, Metals, Cleans, and related metrology, with demonstrated leadership across multi-module environments

- Proven ability to manage and lead technical teams of engineers and maintenance technicians

- Excellent communication, structured problem-solving, and team development skills, capable of setting expectations with both internal stakeholders and external partners.

- BS/MS in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or equivalent).

It’s exciting if you also have:

- Management of Vendor and related eco-systems, installation and quality new capacity, escalation SLAs, spare parts BOMs, total productive maintenance, reducing mean time to repair / failure

- Proficiency in SPC (Statistical Process Control) and a deep understanding of how hardware variables (e.g., vacuum pressure, RF power, gas flow) directly impact Wafer Yield or optical performance.
