• Support and providing to ensure on time execution– project scheduling (WBS), equipment finalization, BOM/raw-material planning, and vendor/OEM evaluation and selection.
• Drive plant layout, utilities design (power, water, process gases, HVAC, cleanroom) and overall process-flow optimization for maximum efficiency.
• Interface with technology licensors and equipment OEMs for installation, process qualification, and production ramp-up of ingot pullers, wire saws, diffusion furnaces, PECVD and screen-printing lines.
• Selection of engineering consultant and coordination with them for timely delivering of engineering input.
• Ensure timely statutory and environmental compliance, including CTE/CTO approvals, water balance planning, and pollution-control requirements.
• Lead manpower planning and organization structuring for the engineering function, including evaluation of offshore vs. in-house technical consultants.
• Ensure system design is engineered to ensure that values are well in control with allocated budget.
• BOQ Preparation and cost estimation of the plants.
• Drive continuous support for improvement in process yield, throughput, capacity utilization, and product quality (cell efficiency, wafer thickness/breakage rates) during ramp and operations.
• Ensure EHS compliance and safety standards during engineering.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Production, Quality, SCM, Projects and Finance to align engineering priorities with business objectives.
• Drive automation, digitalization and Industry initiatives for real-time process monitoring and control.
• Implementation of artificial inelegance and digital twin.
