Job Description & Requirements

To provide strategic leadership and technical oversight for the end-to-end execution of Outer Layer processes. Responsible for synchronizing complex chemical lines, high-precision imaging, and solder mask applications to ensure all multi-layer boards meet rigorous quality standards and yield targets.

1. Operational Excellence & Execution

• Departmental Oversight: Direct daily operations across Outer Layer, Photo Printing, Chemical Processing, LPSM, AOI, and Specialized Finishing to consistently meet or exceed sectional KPIs.
• Production Planning: Conduct high-level resource planning (Machine, Manpower, Method) to ensure maximum process capability and stringent control.
• Workflow Optimization: Manage throughput to ensure jobs are processed at optimum speed, minimizing Work-in-Progress (WIP) and reducing turnaround time.
• 5S & Housekeeping: Ensure that the 5S standard of housekeeping is consistently maintained to provide a safe and world-class manufacturing environment.

2. Quality Control & Technical Integrity

• Yield Improvement: Monitor scrap rates and partner with Quality Assurance to support Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to implement Continuous Improvement (CI) strategies that maximize throughput and minimize rework.
• Asset Performance: Partner with Maintenance to ensure all critical assets-including exposure units, developers, and printing presses-are calibrated, maintained, and operating at peak performance.
• Environmental & Safety Compliance: Enforce strict adherence to safety protocols and environmental regulations, particularly concerning chemical handling, outer layer, AOI, Photo-printing, LPSM & Printing.

3. Team Leadership & Talent Development

• Strategic Manpower Planning: Manage budgeting and forecasting to ensure all sections are optimally staffed for 24/7 or peak-demands operations.
• Training & Qualification: Ensure all engineers and technicians are rigorously trained, certified, and audited against the latest SOPs.
• Professional Growth: Actively mentor and develop technical staff to reach their highest potential through structured career pathing.
• Workplace Standards: Maintain manufacturing environment by upholding "5S" housekeeping standards and fostering a culture of active participation in improvement programs.

4. Documentation & Compliance

• Process Standardization: Ensure all technical documentation, SOPs, and work instructions are current, accurately revised, and strictly followed on the shop floor.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent industry experience).
• Minimum 7-10 years of experience in a manufacturing environment. With at least 3 years in a leadership or supervisory role.
• Printed Circuit Board (PCB) experience is a highly desirable advantage
• Relevant working knowledge and technical competence in the PCB manufacturing industry
• Processes trends would be an added advantage
• Possess strong leadership and interpersonal skills and ability to drive key initiatives in line with organizational.
