• Build and deploy models on plant data for coating and formation quality, defect detection, and yield root cause, with the central technologist and vendors.
• Turn model output into action: parameter changes, error-proofing, and standard work with process, controls, and quality.
• Feed findings and reusable assets back to the central technologist so both plants benefit.
• Own the local data connection: MES, historians, PLC and OT data, and inline metrology.

You'll have...
