Job description

Adecco is partnering with a leading global semiconductor foundry to recruit a Lithography Process Manager to support its fab operations and succession planning.

The successful candidate will lead and manage the Process Engineering and Sustaining team to achieve module objectives through process optimization, ensuring strong process capability (Cpk), statistical process control (SPC), productivity, cost efficiency, and quality.

The Job:

• Set expectation to employees on understanding and compliance to MRB, TECN, 8D, specification requirements.
• Set expectation on effective use of SPC, FMEA, and other Quality Management System to detect issues timely and with improvement action items identified.
• Conduct regular assessment on risk management with action items identified.
• Ensure continuous improvement program is in place to prevent quality, line yield, and sort yield excursions.
• Work closely with Equipment and Mfg Section Managers to address equipment constraint issues, OEE. Optimize metrology sampling to meet quality standard and Mfg requirements.
• Ensure project monitoring system is in place to keep track of project status and progress versus FAB performance requirements.
• Set targets, goals and projects for the section to minimize wafer scrap, defect, rework, and improve process capability to meet operational needs.
• Facilitate/ initiate CIP programs to optimize process window, cost, yield, and productivity. Establish plans and strategies to optimize process capability to meet operational requirements.
• Forecast and budget on chemical / material cost and any other related expenditure. Drive improvement activities to reduce material costs.
• Develop system or procedure to insure first time success in prototype and new process or recipe qualification.
• Establish/ monitor vendor performance metrics to drive quality and cost improvements. Develop a good working relationship with vendors.
• Develop internal audit system to comply to TS16949 Quality Standard and customer requirements.
• Provide support and adequate resources to ensure compliance with Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) requirements, and participate in improving and maintaining the EHS management system. Insure good practice of housekeeping on tools, equipments, and materials.
• Set performance expectation for employees and have regular review to keep track of performance. Define responsibility clearly and develop empowerment in the group. Work jointly with employees to develop their career path.
• Ensure that employees have the required training, knowledge, and competency in performing the tasks.
• Coach and show Engineers on their troubleshooting skills, understanding of processes, decision making, risk assessment.

The Talent:

• Possess a Degree/ Master/ PhD in Engineering.
• Minimally 10 years of relevant Litho experience in Semiconductor Industry.
• Minimally 5 years in leadership role preferred.
