Job Summary  

The Manufacturing Technical Program Manager (MFG TPM) leads the  development, industrialization, and execution of advanced manufacturing technologies spanning  wafer fabrication, innovative wire solutions, and precision alignment/assembly processes . The role owns technical program strategy, readiness milestones, and execution cadence to mature new technologies from early development through high-volume production.  

Serving as a  technical bridge across R&D, wafer fabs, OSATs, Manufacturing Engineering, and CMs , the MFG TPM ensures alignment between design intent, process capability, yield, and manufacturing readiness across globally distributed teams. The role combines strong wafer-fab technical understanding with disciplined program leadership and hands-on problem solving to support advanced datacenter hardware platforms.  

Key Responsibilities  

• Own  end-to-end technical execution of NPI programs from technology development through production ramp.  

• Drive  concurrent development with R&D, aligning device architecture, process flows, and manufacturing strategy.  

• Lead  wafer fabrication industrialization , including lithography, deposition, etch, CMP, metrology, and yield ramp.  

• Define and manage  technology readiness milestones, build gates, and technical risk mitigation .  

• Act as the  primary technical integrator and escalation point across fabs, OSATs, Manufacturing Engineering, and CMs.  

• Transition technologies from pilot builds into  high-volume fab and manufacturing environments .  

• Establish  yield learning, SPC, and control strategies and lead root cause resolution for process and reliability issues.  

• Own  technical change control and ensure clear, consistent communication across sites and partners.  

Required Qualifications  

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related discipline (Master’s preferred).  

• 8+ years of experience in  technology development, wafer fabrication, or advanced manufacturing NPI .  

• Proven experience leading  wafer-level or semiconductor-based products through production ramp.  

• Ability to manage  complex technical programs across multiple teams, sites, and manufacturing partners .  

• Experience working directly with  wafer fabs, OSATs, and external manufacturing partners .  

Preferred Qualifications  

• Hands-on experience with  silicon wafer fab processes (lithography, etch, deposition, CMP, metrology).  

• Experience with  advanced packaging or interposers .  

• Familiarity with  high-performance interconnects (wires, cables, connectors).  

• Experience supporting  datacenter, HPC, or performance-critical hardware .  

Key Competencies  

• Technology development and industrialization  

• Wafer fab and process integration  

• Technical program ownership  

• Cross-functional and cross-site communication  

• Yield, reliability, and manufacturability optimization
