Sr Staff Software Engineer (Operations Software & Tools)

Operations Engineering (OED) is the central team that builds the software, tools, and factory-automation. In this role, you'll design and deliver custom software and automation for OED and Operations — integrating with MES and equipment on the manufacturing floor — and project-manage their rollout end-to-end, partnering across OED, OPS, ISD, SW&D, and Product Line PGs to ship solutions that move factory efficiency, yield, and productivity.

Key Responsibilities

Build & maintain custom software tools and automation for Operations Engineering and the manufacturing floor.

Integrate shop-floor equipment and MES via SECS/GEM to enable equipment connectivity, tool control, and real-time monitoring.

Develop & deploy containerized applications (Docker/Kubernetes) that connect operations systems and PMO workflows.

Drive projects from initiation through delivery — scope, schedule, risk, resourcing — interfacing with stakeholders across functions.

Define & improve engineering and project-management processes and standards (issue tracking, requirements management, progress metrics).

Hands‑on factory‑automation / equipment‑integration experience — MES integration and equipment connectivity via SECS/GEM (SEMI E5/E30).

GOOD to have

Broader software toolchain familiarity (make files, compilers, assemblers, linkers).

Experience with shop-floor tool interfaces and real‑time equipment monitoring at scale.

JIRA & Confluence for tracking, requirements, and process.

Japanese or Chinese language proficiency
