Senior Staff Strategic Planning Specialist

Senior Staff Strategic Planning Specialist We are seeking a Sr. Staff Strategic Planning Specialist to join our Arizona based client. The ideal candidate combines strong quantitative modeling skills, and semiconductor supply chain knowledge. Constraint engineering discipline and cross-functional partnership are also requirements. Job Description In this role you will be required but not limited to: Develop and maintain component-level demand/capacity models across various functions. Translate market, customer, and product roadmap inputs into scalable capacity requirements. Build scenario-based models for base, upside, downside, and surge demand. Establish planning assumptions, model governance, and refresh cadence to improve forecast consistency and decision quality. Create and maintain supply chain capacity profiles across internal and external manufacturing sites. Identify structural capacity constraints early and define mitigation paths before NPI start or production ramp commitments. Support surge planning by modeling practical upside capacity, recovery timing, qualification dependencies, and risk buffers. Drive fewer late capacity escalations by converting long-range signals into actionable capacity readiness plans. Identify hidden systemic bottlenecks across various functions. Lead data-driven root cause analysis using operational, engineering, supplier, yield, and cycle-time data to isolate constraint drivers and quantify business impact. Own constraint resolution from detection through mitigation, closure, and recurrence prevention across cross-functional teams. Feed structural fixes into DFM, capacity planning, cost reduction, qualification, and supplier readiness roadmaps. Mitigate systemic scaling failures by converting recurring bottlenecks. Develop qualification roadmaps that align capacity availability with portfolio demand, NPI timing, and scale requirements. Partner with various functions to evaluate capacity expansion options, qualification lead times, and investment trade-offs. Prioritize capacity actions based on a number of differing factors. Facilitate cross-functional capacity reviews. Translate complex capacity risks into clear executive recommendations, decisions, and escalation paths. Ensure capacity plans are aligned before NPI start and remain synchronized through ramp and scale execution. Develop dashboards and KPIs to monitor capacity availability, utilization, structural constraints, qualification status, systemic bottlenecks, recovery progress, and escalation risks. Conduct sensitivity analysis on demand volatility, supplier constraints, site readiness, surge scenarios, and systemic scaling risks. Drive continuous improvement in modeling methods. Improve recovery speed from any issues that occur by establishing decision paths, mitigation playbooks, and feedback loops into capacity and DFM planning. Qualifications Educated to at least Bachelor's level in Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field. 7+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, supply chain planning, or operations strategy. Strong understanding of semiconductor fabrication and supply chain. Experience identifying systemic bottlenecks, leading data-driven root cause analysis, and driving structural fixes across engineering, manufacturing, supplier, and capacity planning teams. Advanced analytical and modeling skills (Excel, VCO, AI Optimization, SQL, Python, or similar tools). Excellent communication and presentation skills. #J-18808-Ljbffr IC Resources
