Senior Manufacturing Engineer

Lead Contract Manufacturers (CM) in partnership and maintain positive relationship with the Global Operations (GOPS) team (Manufacturing, Production Planning, Procurement, and Quality Engineering) with emphasis on manufacturing processes, cycle time, assembly sequence, and quality.
- Drive CM in strengthening their engineering support in resolving daily operation issues in semiconductor equipment manufacturing, through collaboration with a team of multidisciplined manufacturing engineers, manufacturing supervisors and technicians.
- Oversee the management and execution by CM on their daily targets on generic product delivery in alignment with ASM manufacturing engineering strategies, production schedules, quality and safety standards.
- Derive and drive the intended CM generic deliverables based on the Product structure and GOPS lead time and capacity needs, with business continuity and supply chain risk management plan in place.
- Define and create manufacturing procedures, build sequence, methods, and quality documentation, i.e. Operational Method Sheet (OMS), work instructions, test procedures, inspection checklists, etc. according to material and assembly specifications, and to ensure the conformance of these documents by our CM.
- Drive engineering design and documentation changes according to defined change management workflows and ensure timely and quality execution at CM according to required schedules.
- Drive product and process quality improvements, enabling the adoption and capabilities of CM on systematic troubleshooting and root cause analysis of manufacturing issues and deviations, and ability to provide immediate containment actions and pursue long term corrective solutions.
- Actively engage with Business Units (BU) to influence Design for Manufacturing (DFM) concepts and Bill of Materials (BOM) integrity in reducing labor cost and material cost to meet the overall product cost targets at different Product Life Cycle (PLC) phases.
- Assist Quality teams to reduce Non Conformance (NC) per tool rate and provide technical assistance to CM for defective part return for failure analysis.
- Manage regular audits of CM manufacturing sites to ensure stable and robust build and test process, and continuous first pass yield improvement.
- Constantly engage with Field Support and BUs to build the capability of the Engineering team on the equipment and process knowledge of ASM equipment.
- Lead the execution of continuous improvement projects on quality and cycle time improvement with cross functional teams in GOPS and CM.
- Deliver tooling and test equipment according to product requirements, with innovations in meeting manufacturing productivity, efficiency and customer quality.
