Job description

The Senior Industrial Engineer supports semiconductor manufacturing operations by developing and improving the systems that drive capacity, throughput, and overall production efficiency. This role focuses on analyzing operational performance, identifying constraints, and implementing data‑driven improvements across critical fab processes.

You will maintain and communicate the capacity statement tied to production plans and forecasts, evaluate operational variation, and translate findings into actionable recommendations for engineering and leadership teams. The role requires strong analytical skills, hands‑on collaboration with operators and engineers, and a deep understanding of lean manufacturing principles

.
This position plays a key role in reducing cycle‑time variation, improving scheduling systems, optimizing manufacturing layouts, and ensuring labor, equipment, and processes operate at peak efficiency. Knowledge of core manufacturing metrics—including OEE, Yield, and Cycle Time—is essentia
