As an Engineer Line Control, your contribution ensures that innovation never stands still. Together, we make reliability our strongest asset. Are you in?

Your role

In this role, you will drive manufacturing line planning and control by balancing production loading, prioritizing WIP flow, and optimizing capacity utilization to achieve cycle time, OTD, and other key operational targets. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve bottlenecks, support capacity and resource planning, analyze operational data, and implement continuous improvement initiatives to enhance production efficiency, visibility, and overall manufacturing performance.

Key responsibilities

• Monitor, balance, and prioritize manufacturing lines to achieve committed targets for Flow Factor, CLIP, CTS, OTD, and other operational KPIs
• Plan and prioritize WIP across production processes to optimize flow, minimize cycle time, and meet customer demand requirements
• Monitor production capacity and loading to ensure available resources are effectively utilized and production demand can be fulfilled
• Collaborate with Production, Planning, IE, Process Engineering, and other stakeholders to resolve capacity constraints, bottlenecks, and supply risks
• Drive effective WIP and batch management by monitoring aging, lot cycle time, sustain range, and flow factor to minimize delays and conversion losses
• Support capacity planning and resource optimization by identifying gaps between demand, capacity, and available resources
• Monitor equipment and production availability and coordinate with relevant teams to ensure timely equipment readiness and minimize production interruptions
• Identify and support process improvement and digitalization opportunities to improve planning efficiency, line performance, and data visibility
• Support engineering sample builds and new product activities to achieve committed OTD and cycle-time targets
• Prepare and analyze operational data and reports, providing concise insights and recommendations to management and relevant stakeholders
• Ensure compliance with established planning and line-control processes, standards, and governance requirements

Qualifications and skills

• You strive to leverage strong analytical and problem-solving skills to optimize manufacturing performance through effective WIP management, capacity planning, cycle time improvement, and data-driven decision making.
• You collaborate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders, demonstrate a strong sense of ownership and continuous improvement, and thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment while adapting to changing operational needs.
• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 1-2 years of relevant experience in semiconductor manufacturing, cleanroom operations, production planning, line control, industrial engineering, capacity planning, or a related manufacturing environment will be an added advantage.
• Good understanding of manufacturing flow, WIP management, capacity planning, cycle time, OTD, and production performance.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret manufacturing data and identify improvement opportunities.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and data analysis; experience with visualization or digitalization tools such as Tableau/Power BI would be an advantage.
• Good communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to work effectively across Production, Planning, Engineering, IE, and other functions.
• Able to prioritize tasks, work independently, and respond effectively to changing production requirements.
• Strong sense of ownership, teamwork, and continuous improvement mindset.
• Willingness to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and support operational requirements when needed.
