Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate brings experience leading technical teams in a semiconductor or advanced manufacturing environment, demonstrates strong operational discipline and quality flow accountability, and is comfortable working with chemicals used in routine maintenance activities. This role is well suited for a hands-on leader who can balance day-to-day execution with team development in a high-tech manufacturing setting.

About the Role

This role requires a strong and consistent fab floor presence and provides leadership coverage across all semiconductor processes. The position integrates people leadership, equipment maintenance, and process operations under a single supervisory role.

Responsibilities

• Actively enforce safety standards, departmental KPIs, and 5S compliance through routine floor walks and real-time engagement
• Ensure production equipment is maintained to company standards by actively overseeing maintenance execution and minimizing unplanned downtime
• Own and drive hands-on training for equipment operation, preventive maintenance, and process qualifications
• Establish, document, and sustain PM procedures and OCAPs, ensuring consistent execution on shift
• Drive cross-training between process and equipment technicians and directly manage spare parts availability on the floor
• Own shift-level hold lot management — triage active holds with process technicians and on-shift engineering, drive timely disposition decisions, and ensure CM entries accurately capture lot status and initial process assessment to minimize cycle time impact
• Partner closely with process and equipment engineering to address SPC trends, reduce scrap and rework, and drive cost reductions
• Build strong working relationships across departments to enable rapid issue resolution and continuous improvement on the fab floor

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in a STEM-related field with 2+ years of supervisory or people-management experience, or
• Associate's degree in a STEM-related field with 5+ years of supervisory or people-management experience

Qualifications

• Equivalent military or semiconductor manufacturing experience with proven technical expertise and leadership responsibility
• Familiarity with module tool sets and factory controls (e.g., metrology tools as applicable), including SPC, OCAPs, and preventive maintenance programs
• Cleanroom experience (gowning, contamination control, and working effectively in controlled environments)
• Experience building and sustaining technician training/qualification programs (equipment operation, PM execution, process qualifications) and driving cross-training in a 24/7 operation
• Experience managing on-shift hold lot triage and disposition processes, including CM documentation practices, engineering escalation protocols, and cycle time tracking in a 24/7 semiconductor manufacturing environment

Skills

• Strong leadership skills
• Operational discipline and quality flow accountability
• Comfortable working with chemicals used in routine maintenance activities
• Hands-on experience in a high-tech manufacturing environment

Benefits

• Flexible scheduling with a "3on-4off-4on-3off" alternating schedule
• Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off
