• Develop, implement, and maintain robust manufacturing process controls through advanced Statistical Process Control (SPC) methodologies.
• Champion the integration and promotion of statistical process control and intelligent process quality control knowledge.
• Develop and maintain in-depth knowledge of various quality systems related to wafer fabrication processes and facilities.
• Apply process change management and risk control principles, including understanding FCCB-related engineering change systems.
• Conduct KPI tracing and analysis, utilizing tools such as Ishikawa diagrams, to assess process performance.
• Manage and maintain change-related systems, facilitating and documenting scheduled Change Control Board (CCB) meetings.
• Coordinate and lead quality-related projects aimed at enhancing product quality, improving manufacturing efficiency, and boosting customer satisfaction.
• Perform independent work during scheduled weekend on-call rotations and/or on-duty shifts with a sense of urgency.
