Job Title:

Engineer II, Manufacturing Engineering

Job Description:

The Role:

  • As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will be responsible for sustaining and improving manufacturing processes for CMP Pad production, ensuring stable, efficient, and high-quality output to meet overall production targets. This role spans process control, equipment performance, yield improvement, and issue resolution in a high-volume manufacturing environment. You will work closely with cross-functional and global teams, and support new product introductions to ensure smooth transition into manufacturing.

In this role you will:

  • Monitor and maintain process stability using SPC and data analysis tools

  • Ensure smooth production flow and resolve issues to meet output and production targets

  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance yield, quality, and productivity

  • Perform equipment troubleshooting, maintenance coordination, and process tuning

  • Lead safety-related actions and execute OCAP for abnormal conditions

  • Investigate customer complaints and manufacturing issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions

  • Maintain and update Work Instructions (WI) and process documentation

  • Resolve production line bottlenecks and optimize overall manufacturing performance

  • Collaborate with NPI teams to support new product introduction and ramp-up

  • Manage engineering projects and qualification activities

  • Ensure product quality compliance and manage BOM-related changes

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams and global sites

Traits we believe make a strong candidate:

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven mindset

  • Understanding of statistical analysis and DOE concepts

  • Team player with effective communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

  • Hands-on, proactive, and able to perform in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

  • Strong ownership with the ability to drive issues to closure and deliver results

  • Experience with data tools (e.g., Excel Macro, Power BI), Statistical Tools (e.g. Mini Tab, JMP, SAS) and manufacturing systems is a plus

Your success will be measured by:

  • Consistent achievement of production targets and manufacturing plan execution

  • Process stability and yield performance (SPC, Cpk, yield improvement)

  • Speed and effectiveness of issue resolution and root cause analysis

  • Measurable impact of continuous improvement initiatives (cost, productivity, quality)

  • Successful collaboration across teams and contribution to overall manufacturing performance

  • Effective support of new product introduction and ramp-up
