Provide second-level escalation and 24×7 support to guarantee uninterrupted system operation for the factory.

Understand the existing source code, improve its logic where needed, and administer scheduled jobs, promptly resolving execution errors.

Work with fab engineering, MES groups, and other development teams to add functionality, solve integration challenges, reduce technical debt, and create clear documentation of architecture, change points, and maintenance procedures.
