• Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.
• Identify, Select, and Deliver New Processes, Equipment and/or Technology to Support Current and Future Metro RDA Needs.
• Monitor advanced packaging and NPI tool health using RDA, SPC, FDC, and advanced monitoring platforms during assigned shifts.
• Respond to equipment alarms, process excursions, and system alerts with heightened sensitivity to NPI risk and learning objectives.
• Perform first-pass root cause analysis for equipment, automation, and integration issues commonly encountered during NPI and early ramp phases.
• Support rapid learning cycles by identifying recurring NPI issues, process sensitivities, and automation or monitoring gaps.
• Provide timely, high-quality shift documentation and handover to support continuity across shifts and engineering teams.
• Support deployment, tuning, and sustainment of new RDA capabilities, dashboards, scripts, and monitoring logic required for new package types and processes.
• Ensure all actions comply with safety, quality, and change management requirements in a fast-evolving NPI environment.
• Install, Start-up, and Maintain New Equipment Platform and/or Hardware to Production Group.
• Provide shift support for newly installed or newly qualified advanced packaging tools during NPI, pilot, and ramp phases.
• Execute standardized and NPI-specific troubleshooting procedures for equipment, automation, and data flow issues.
• Coordinate closely with Equipment, Process, and NPI Engineers for tool bring-up, recovery, and stabilization activities.
• Validate tool recovery, data integrity, and readiness before returning equipment to NPI or production lots.
• Support qualification runs, golden tool verification, and post-event reviews for NPI tools and processes.
• Ensure compliance with fab operational standards, safety requirements, and NPI escalation protocols.
• Drive, Improve and/or Maintain Metrics for Key Equipment Platform Capability and Constraints (OEE, Availability, MTTR).
• Monitor and track key operational and NPI-specific metrics for advanced packaging equipment during shift.
• Ensure accurate logging of NPI events, excursions, and corrective actions to support learning and ramp decisions.
• Provide high-quality data and observations to support root cause analysis, yield learning, and readiness assessments.
• Support shift-level reporting, trend analysis, and performance reviews with emphasis on NPI stability and maturity.
• Proactively escalate high-risk or recurring NPI issues with clear data, impact assessment, and technical context.
• Collaboration with Production Group on Upgrades of Existing Production Equipment through Continuous Improvement Projects.
• Partner with NPI, Process, Equipment, and Global RDA teams to resolve complex issues during package and process introductions.
• Support implementation of approved NPI changes, automation updates, and monitoring enhancements during shift windows.
• Provide operational feedback on new tools, processes, and RDA solutions from a shift execution perspective.
• Participate in knowledge transfer, best practice sharing, and lessons learned reviews to improve future NPI readiness.
