MTS, Equipment

Member of Technical Staff (Equipment) is responsible for end-to-end ownership of manufacturing equipment performance and strategy, enabling high-volume, high-yield, and cost-efficient production. This role provides technical leadership, drives cross-functional alignment, and leads initiatives to improve equipment capability, reliability, and scalability across operations.

Key Responsibilities

Own and drive equipment performance at a system level, including uptime, throughput, yield, OEE, and cost of ownership (CoO)

Lead tool strategy and lifecycle management, including selection, specification, benchmarking, and capacity planning

Drive and approve equipment installation, qualification, and release to production (IQ/OQ/PQ), ensuring robustness and scalability

Lead complex troubleshooting and structured root cause analysis (8D/DMAIC) for major excursions, implementing permanent systemic fixes

Architect and deploy advanced maintenance strategies (predictive, condition-based, FDC/analytics-driven) to minimize downtime

Partner with process and manufacturing teams to co-optimize equipment and process capability (Cp/Cpk), yield, and cycle time

Drive site-wide or multi-line continuous improvement programs, including OEE uplift, defect reduction, automation, and poka-yoke

Act as technical authority interfacing with equipment vendors on design improvements, upgrades, and long-term reliability issues

Lead risk assessments (FMEA), reliability engineering, and standardization across tools and platforms

Develop and enforce engineering standards, SOPs, and best practices, and mentor junior engineers

Support and lead response during production escalations, ramp-ups, and capacity expansions

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Materials, or related field)

Extensive experience in high-volume manufacturing environments (e.g., semiconductor, advanced packaging, electronics)

Proven track record of owning equipment performance and driving measurable improvements (OEE, yield, CoO)

Deep hands-on expertise in mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and control systems, with ability to troubleshoot complex, multi-factor issues

Strong experience with structured problem-solving methodologies (8D, DMAIC, RCA, FMEA)

Familiarity with data-driven engineering tools (SPC, DOE, FDC, data analytics platforms, Jump)

Experience working with equipment vendors and leading cross-functional technical initiatives

Demonstrated ability to lead projects, influence stakeholders, and mentor teams

Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-ownership manufacturing environment

Exposure to SECS/GEM, PLC programming, or scripting (SQL, Python etc)

Background in advanced packaging equipment (preferably in Recon)
