Industrial Engineering – Semiconductor Manufacturing Wafer Fab:

The Industrial Engineer will analyze manufacturing data and implement projects that increase throughput and reduce cycle time and cost at MACOM’s Durham, NC manufacturing site. This individual will also support administering the fab lot dispatch software. This work will be done in close partnership with fab production teams and Process, Device and Integration Engineers. Knowledge of semiconductor processing, clear written and verbal communication skills, and an optimistic, can-do approach are essential to success in this role. MACOM operates in high-mix, dynamic wafer fab environments, requiring good prioritization and excellent judgment. You will be expected to set deliverables and achieve desired results.

Responsibilities:

Data, KPIs and Reporting

• Own manufacturing KPI reporting, including KPI mathematical definitions and the accuracy of the underlying database queries.
• Build and maintain Power BI reports that visualize factory performance, capacity, and key metrics.

Capacity and Capital Planning

• Build and maintain tool capacity models to support strategic CapEx planning.
• Use the models to identify weekly constraints, and lead cross-functional teams in implementing mitigations.

Continuous Improvement

• Reduce cycle time and increase throughput by administering the fab lot dispatch software and partnering with Operations to tune scheduling parameters.
• Analyze production processes to identify bottlenecks, and implement solutions that improve cycle time, throughput, and work in progress (WIP).
• Identify cost-reduction opportunities through process improvements, waste reduction, and better prioritization of resource utilization.
• Apply lean principles, such as 5S, value stream mapping, just-in-time (JIT), and Six Sigma, to optimize manufacturing areas.

Qualifications:

• BS or MS in Industrial Engineering, or an equivalent engineering degree, with a minimum of 5 years of industrial engineering experience.
• Strong working knowledge of statistics, data mining, SPC, lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and structured problem solving.
• Working proficiency in SQL to efficiently query large volumes of MES data.
• Experience with data analysis and visualization tools such as Excel PivotTables, Power BI, Minitab, or JMP.
• Demonstrated ownership of improvement projects, from problem definition through measurable results.
• Proven ability to partner with cross-functional teams to improve processes.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including summarizing data and findings and writing process documents and work instructions for engineers and manufacturing technicians.
• Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

Additional Desirable Skills:

• Familiarity with compound semiconductor processes for high-frequency applications.
• Experience with fab dispatch or scheduling systems, or with capacity or simulation modeling.
• Experience planning and implementing capital projects to support capacity and new technology requirements, including capital equipment throughput analysis.
• Experience improving equipment utilization and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
