Job Overview

Main Objective of the Position:

TE Connectivity's Manufacturing Engineering Teams in our Global Wafer Fab Operations facilities are process leaders for Lithography, Etching, Deposition, Diffusion, Wafer Bond, Test, Dicing and other semiconductor related topics, ensuring the processes are running at optimum levels for quality and output. They are experts in wafer processing techniques, possessing extensive knowledge of the associated manufacturing processes which may include the optimization and standardization within the manufacturing environment.

Manufacturing Engineering Teams enable the TE business unit plants to reach TE Operating Advantage (TEOA) requirements, roll out Centers of Excellence (COE), Best Demonstrated Practices (BDP’s) and advise plants on tool and machine duplications / corrections / improvements. They design and develop manufacturing process and automation platforms and apply them for the realization of new product developments as well as optimization of existing products already in production. The Teams also support Product Development in the selection and optimization of tools for production and the selection of the most suitable manufacturing concepts relative to planned manufacturing quantities, quality requirements and manufacturing location. They act as interface between R&D engineering and production to ensure manufacturability of new designs and smooth production ramp up as well as identifying critical equipment upgrades and assessing new production tools.

Summary of Key Tasks/Responsibilities:

• Independently lead comprehensive activities (with high complexity and importance for the economic development of the site) focusing on product stability improvement (yield), process window analysis, and DOE including documentation in terms of change management (PCRB).
• Continuously monitor project risks considering applicable standards and existing tools, initiate countermeasures, and support the department's development.
• Responsible for yield improvement in terms of continuous improvement process (CIP).
• Technological support in transferring product innovations from development to production.
• Lead complex projects and project groups, e.g., in transferring product change developments to production, considering project timelines, documentation, and collaboration with process technology.
• Plan and evaluate experiments in collaboration with process engineers to implement sustainable improvements.
