PMO / NPI Engineer (Semiconductor Manufacturing)

Main Responsibilities

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities to ensure successful product qualification, process release, and production ramp-up.
• Monitor and sustain End-of-Line (EOL) manufacturing processes to achieve established targets for yield, quality, productivity, and cycle time.
• Provide technical support and troubleshooting for process, equipment, and product-related issues, ensuring timely resolution and minimal production impact.
• Analyze process and quality data to identify trends, drive yield improvement initiatives, and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product Engineering, Process Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Equipment Engineering, to support product transfers and engineering changes.
• Ensure manufacturing processes comply with customer specifications, technical requirements, and internal quality standards.
• Prepare, review, and maintain process documentation, including work instructions, specifications, process flows, and control plans.
• Support process characterization, validation, and qualification activities for new products, materials, and equipment.
• Assist in establishing standard process parameters, UPH (Units Per Hour), and material consumption requirements for new products and processes.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance process capability, reduce defects, improve productivity, and optimize manufacturing costs.
• Provide technical guidance to technicians and operators to ensure compliance with approved procedures and process controls.

Quality Accountability

• Review and disposition non-conforming products in accordance with established procedures and quality requirements.
• Ensure compliance with Manufacturing Operating Procedures (MOP), process specifications, and control requirements.
• Support risk assessment activities related to process and quality issues.
• Monitor process performance and implement corrective actions for identified gaps.
• Establish and maintain process documentation and MOPs for new products and processes.
• Raise quality incidents and support investigation, containment, and corrective action activities.
• Participate in root cause analysis using structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g., 8D, 5 Why, Fishbone).
• Communicate quality alerts, process changes, and engineering updates to relevant stakeholders in a timely manner.
• Maintain data accuracy and integrity in all engineering, production, and quality records.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, Mechanical, or related discipline).
• Experience in semiconductor manufacturing, assembly, test, or NPI environment is an added advantage.
• Knowledge of process control, yield improvement, quality systems, and problem-solving methodologies.
• Familiarity with SPC, FMEA, DOE, and statistical data analysis tools is preferred.
• Good analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.
• Able to work effectively in a cross-functional and fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel and PowerPoint.
