Staff Engineer, Front End Labor Data Engineering
Summary
Lead AI-driven process mining and labor productivity initiatives, designing dashboards and automation to optimize semiconductor front-end operations and deliver measurable efficiency gains.
Responsibilities
Data Engineering
- Drive First-Of-A-Kind process mining capability through setting up Digital Footprint, capturing all intended and unintended process flow digitally, across more than 10 functional teams in Front End globally. Scale with speed.
- Design and formulate data visualization that easily translate into actionable insights. Visualize simply.
- Together with business owners, system owners, and decision makers, regularly questions every requirement, delete every possible steps, simplify and optimize process flow rigorously. Be a change agent.
- Drive Artificial Intelligence-based solutions to optimize the digital footprint that translate to labor hours savings and efficiency uplift that scale with speed. Make an impact.
- Lead standardization of digital processes across sites to enable scalable and repeatable execution aligned with enterprise goals. Ensure sustainable change.
- Drive year over year improvement in Front-End labor productivity Move/ Headcount (VAM/HC) in support of the AI transformation. Positively improve bottom line.
- Integrate labor initiatives across AI, automation, robotics, DREAM team, and innovation programs into a cohesive execution plan as necessary. Track, validate, and report productivity benefits including labor hour reduction, VAM/HC, and annualized savings in partnership with Site’s Labor Champions & Finance team. Roll-up comprehensive labor improvement status.
Data Driven Insights and Reporting
- Develop critical metric dashboards and management reporting to provide clarity into progress, adoption, and realized benefits.
- Translate data into actionable insights to support fact-based prioritization and decision making.
- Support workload forecasting, productivity baselining, and scenario modeling by coordinating requirements and validating outputs with collaborators.
Front End Network Productivity and Enablement
- Monitor labor performance metrics, identify gaps, benchmark standard processes, and support performance recovery actions when needed.
- Enable cross site collaboration to scale successful solutions and strengthen network impact.
- Guide network teams to identify and prioritize productivity opportunities using Digital Footprint and Agile Workload Management System (AWMS) data and any relevant data to convert effort into measurable time savings.
- Support development and execution of functional AI roadmaps across Front-End organizations with focus on reuse and scalability.
- Drive structured use case intake, value assessment, feasibility review, and deployment planning to ensure sustainable adoption.
Requirements
- Degree in Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Statistics, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Demonstrated ability in semiconductor processes and systems.
- Graduates with strong analytical skills, business insight, leadership skill and working knowledge of GenAI concepts and delivery, may apply.
- Strong program management skills (portfolio planning, governance, benefits realization, dependency management, guiding transitions).
- Experience solving business problems and improving outcomes, including but not limited to acting as the liaison business and technical teams.
- Experience leading various collaborators, process owners, IT teams, and end users towards validated practical solutions that translate to business impact.
- Experience leading programs/projects with demonstrated outcomes in productivity, operational efficiency, or workforce/labor optimization.
- Working knowledge of GenAI concepts and delivery (use-case framing, prompt/workflow design basics, evaluation of value and risk, adoption metrics).
- Experience delivering automation and low-code solutions (e.g., Power Automate, Copilot Studio, UiPath, SQL or similar), including requirements-to-deployment lifecycle.
- Strong analytical capability (critical metrics, dashboards, baseline/benefits tracking); able to translate data into decisions and execution plans.
- Good communication and collaborator management skills across site, central, and executive audiences.
- Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Excel/presentation software/Teams) and data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI).
