Manufacturing Operations Manager

Job Description

The Manufacturing Operations Manager will lead end-to-end manufacturing operations of a semiconductor

advanced packaging fabrication facility, with full accountability for wafer lot starts, cleanroom readiness,

material flow, tool availability, and workforce execution. This role drives safe, disciplined, and high-yield

manufacturing through rigorous operational controls, structured material and spares management, and tight

coordination between production, engineering, facilities, and supply chain teams.

-FAB Throughput & Wafer Starts: Manage master wafer start plan and daily execution cadence, balance demand, capacity, engineering work, and maintenance windows, achieve committed output, cycle time, and on-time delivery metrics.

-People, Shift & Gowning Readiness: Ensure shift staffing alignment with wafer start and production loads, guarantee gown room readiness for all shifts and contingency scenarios, and train and enforce cleanroom discipline and standard work.

-Material Flow & Logistics Excellence: Ensure seamless lot movement with zero wafer loss or misprocessing, drive AMHS reliability and manual transport discipline, and minimize wafer handling defects and contamination risks.

-Spares, Inventory & Cost Control: Ensure spares availability to meet tool uptime and production targets, drive cost discipline through optimized inventory management

-Continuous Improvement & Stability: Lead Lean, Six Sigma, and SPC initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, lot start predictability, and inventory optimization; apply structured root cause analysis (8D, FMEA) to recurring FAB issues.
