• Ensure all processes meet customer regulatory and product performance requirements
• Drive alignment between process capability and market-specific technical demands

Own process performance metrics and drive continuous improvement across all assigned manufacturing areas:

• Yield and First Pass Yield (FPY) improvement
• Throughput optimization and cycle time reduction
• Scrap and rework reduction programs
• Lead root cause analysis and structured problem-solving for manufacturing and quality issues
• Standardize and document processes work instructions and best practices

Partner with R&D and cross-functional teams to accelerate new product industrialization:

• Lead Design-for-Manufacturability (DFM) reviews and production readiness activities
• Support transition from R&D to production ensuring robust and repeatable processes
• Implement and enforce APQP PFMEA and process validation disciplines
• Collaborate across functions to accelerate time-to-market for new programs

Drive advancement of core manufacturing technologies:

• Develop and improve manufacturing processes in advanced materials processing (e.g. powder metals sintering purification)
• Optimize precision machining and fabrication capabilities
• Enhance cleaning and assembly processes for high-spec environments
• Support evaluation and implementation of new equipment tooling and automation
• Drive continuous improvement in process capability and repeatability

• Lead Lean and Six Sigma initiatives to improve productivity and reduce cost
• Establish process KPI dashboards and drive accountability to performance targets
• Identify and execute cost-out and efficiency improvement initiatives

• Lead coach and develop a team of Process Engineers
• Build technical capabilities aligned to Semiconductor A&D and Industrial needs
• Foster a culture of ownership accountability and continuous improvement
• Partner with leadership to recruit and retain top technical talent

This role demands tight integration with the broader organization:

• Operations support daily manufacturing execution and escalation resolution
• R&D / Engineering ensure smooth technology transfer and DFM alignment
• Quality ensure process control validation and regulatory compliance
• Engage in customer-facing technical discussions for complex applications as needed
