Job description

Administer and maintain the PROMIS system, including system configuration, user accounts, access rights, roles, and workflow settings.

Maintain manufacturing data such as products, processes, routes, equipment, recipes, lot information, and production parameters.

Monitor PROMIS system availability, transaction status, system performance, and data integrity.

Provide technical support to production, equipment engineering, process engineering, IT, and other system users.

Manage system changes, enhancements, configuration updates, and version upgrades in accordance with company procedures.

Automation and System Integration:

Support the design, installation, modification, and integration of automation systems used in semiconductor manufacturing.

Maintain the interface between PROMIS and manufacturing equipment, MES, PLCs, robots, SCADA, ERP, databases, and other factory systems.

Support equipment automation interfaces, including SECS/GEM, host communication, data collection, and production transaction flows.

Work closely with equipment engineering, IT, production, and process teams to ensure smooth integration between manufacturing systems and equipment.

Analyze system and equipment transactions to identify communication, data mapping, and process-flow issues.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance:

Diagnose and resolve PROMIS-related issues, including transaction failures, incorrect manufacturing data, workflow errors, system interface problems, and user access issues.

Support troubleshooting of automation-related problems involving PLCs, robots, SCADA systems, and semiconductor equipment.

Perform routine system checks, log reviews, health monitoring, and preventive maintenance activities to minimize production downtime.

Conduct root-cause analysis for recurring system and automation issues and implement effective corrective actions.

Provide on-call or off-hours support when required by the 24/7 manufacturing operation.

Job Requirements:

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

1 to 3 years of experience in automation, equipment engineering, manufacturing systems, or a related technical field.

Exposure to semiconductor manufacturing processes, factory automation, or manufacturing execution systems (MES) will be an added advantage.

Basic understanding of manufacturing execution systems (MES), preferably PROMIS.

Knowledge of equipment communication protocols such as SECS/GEM and factory system integration concepts.

Ability to analyze system issues, identify root causes, and implement effective corrective actions.

Willingness to provide support in a dynamic 24/7 manufacturing environment when required.

Strong commitment to safety, quality, and operational excellence.
