The Role: 

• As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will be responsible for sustaining and improving manufacturing processes for CMP Pad production, ensuring stable, efficient, and high-quality output to meet overall production targets. This role spans process control, equipment performance, yield improvement, and issue resolution in a high-volume manufacturing environment. You will work closely with cross-functional and global teams, and support new product introductions to ensure smooth transition into manufacturing. 

In this role you will: 

• Monitor and maintain process stability using SPC and data analysis tools 

• Ensure smooth production flow and resolve issues to meet output and production targets 

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance yield, quality, and productivity 

• Perform equipment troubleshooting, maintenance coordination, and process tuning 

• Lead safety-related actions and execute OCAP for abnormal conditions 

• Investigate customer complaints and manufacturing issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions 

• Maintain and update Work Instructions (WI) and process documentation 

• Resolve production line bottlenecks and optimize overall manufacturing performance 

• Collaborate with NPI teams to support new product introduction and ramp-up 

• Manage engineering projects and qualification activities 

• Ensure product quality compliance and manage BOM-related changes 

• Work closely with cross-functional teams and global sites 

Traits we believe make a strong candidate: 

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven mindset 

• Understanding of statistical analysis and DOE concepts 

• Team player with effective communication and cross-functional collaboration skills 

• Hands-on, proactive, and able to perform in a fast-paced manufacturing environment 

• Strong ownership with the ability to drive issues to closure and deliver results 

• Experience with data tools (e.g., Excel Macro, Power BI), Statistical Tools (e.g. Mini Tab, JMP, SAS) and  manufacturing systems is a plus 

Your success will be measured by: 

• Consistent achievement of production targets and manufacturing plan execution 

• Process stability and yield performance (SPC, Cpk, yield improvement) 

• Speed and effectiveness of issue resolution and root cause analysis 

• Measurable impact of continuous improvement initiatives (cost, productivity, quality) 

• Successful collaboration across teams and contribution to overall manufacturing performance 

• Effective support of new product introduction and ramp-up
