Shift Engineer - Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication

Position Overview:

This position is our Firstline defense for process trouble shooting in the factory. Performs routine assignments in the entry level to a professional job progression under direct supervision. Typically has knowledge of and exposure to fundamental theories, principles and concepts. Develops competence by performing structured work assignments. Uses existing procedures to solve routine or standard problems. Receives instruction, guidance and direction from others.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serves as the first line of defense for recipe corrections and FA (Failure Analysis) errors, ensuring issues are identified, investigated, and resolved promptly to minimize production impact and maintain process integrity.
• Effectively balances responsibilities between production support and problem-solving activities, dedicating approximately 50% of time to monitoring and managing WIP (Work in Process) and 50% to troubleshooting process, equipment, and product-related issues to sustain operational efficiency.
• Maintains robust process control through Statistical Process Control (SPC) tools and methodologies, proactively monitoring process performance, identifying trends, and taking corrective actions to prevent deviations and improve yield.
• Manages Lot Processing (LP) status for released recipes, ensuring recipe compliance, documentation accuracy, and timely updates to support uninterrupted manufacturing operations.
• Collaborates closely with the Engineering team to identify, communicate, and address potential Out-of-Control (OOC) and Out-of-Specification (OOS) conditions, facilitating rapid containment and resolution while driving continuous process improvement.
• Provides Manufacturing Technician (MT) training and certification sign-off, ensuring technicians are properly trained, qualified, and capable of executing processes consistently while adhering to established procedures and quality standards.
• Key Impact:
Through proactive process monitoring, technical troubleshooting, cross-functional collaboration, and workforce development, this role helps maintain process stability, reduce manufacturing disruptions, improve product quality, and enhance overall operational performance.
