Job description

Job Description

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

1. Build & maintain custom software tools and automation for Operations Engineering and the manufacturing floor.
2. Integrate shop-floor equipment and MES via SECS/GEM to enable equipment connectivity, tool control, and real-time monitoring.
3. Develop & deploy containerized applications (Docker/Kubernetes) that connect operations systems and PMO workflows.
4. Drive projects from initiation through delivery — scope, schedule, risk, resourcing — interfacing with stakeholders across functions.
5. Define & improve engineering and project-management processes and standards (issue tracking, requirements management, progress metrics).
6. Collaborate with IT and third-party vendors on infrastructure, cloud, security, and shared tooling to keep solutions scalable and supportable.

Qualifications

MUST have

• Bachelor's in Computer Science or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.
• 8–10 years in software development / engineering (semiconductor or factory-operations environment strongly preferred).
• Strong software engineering fundamentals across Windows & Linux — core languages such as Python and C/C++ (C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Groovy, BASH a plus).
• Hands‑on factory‑automation / equipment‑integration experience — MES integration and equipment connectivity via SECS/GEM (SEMI E5/E30).
• Containerization & deployment: Docker, Kubernetes.
• English proficiency (written & verbal).

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
