Join our FEP, ALD, and EPI Manufacturing Engineering team. The primary role for this Technical Project Manager is supporting Metal ALD New Product Transitions but responsibilities can flex into supporting FEP and EPI along with CIP projects for improving manufacturing performance.nnWorking as a Technical Project Manager within FEP, ALD, and EPI requires working in a team environment where the team members support each other. We value the ability to back up other team members. Be ready and willing to work with and help other Manufacturing Engineers, Test Techs, Quality Engineers, System Project Managers, Suppliers, Business Management, Operations Management, and Finance.nnMetal ALD Products: ALD Business Unit is continuing to develop their ‘quad wafer’ chamber and Trillium products. For these products the NPT PM will work with Design Engineering, NPMEs, Materials PMs, Manufacturing Engineering and Operations to develop high level POR (Plan for Record) which includes developing the ATO (Assemble to Order) manufacturing strategy along with where and how the modules will be built and tested. NPT PM manages manufacturing builds which start with lab chambers and ELS (Early Learning Shipment) builds through our ALD pilot line. NPT PM also manages the programs and builds as ALD Austin Manufacturing ships the DTOR (Development Tool of Record) shipments to customers. Along with the DTOR shipments, the NPT PM ensures that product is progressing with build and test documentation, supplier quality, and field quality. NPT PM finishes the new product transition to volume once the new product’s modules meet performance goals for capacity, cycle time, and quality.nnFunctional KnowledgennDemonstrates conceptual and practical expertise in Project Management and basic knowledge of Capital Equipment for Semiconductor Industry. Deeper knowledge of FEP, ALD, and EPI tools is a plusnnEngineering Skill RequirementsnnRequires knowledge and experience in own discipline; still acquiring higher-level knowledge and skills. Builds knowledge of the company, processes and customers. Solves a range of straightforward problems. Analyzes possible solutions using standard procedures. Receives a moderate level of guidance and direction.nnRequires ability to learn new skills and transpose them to solving manufacturing problems.nnKey ResponsibilitiesnnInterfaces with other engineering functions to coordinate the release of product improvements and/or new products. Launches, releases, approves and implements or issues engineering change requests as required to support design engineering and Operations with new and existing products.nnEstimates manufacturing costs, determines time standards and makes recommendations for tooling and process requirements. Uses DFx principles to reduce manufacturing and/or product costs, and improve delivered product quality.nnTest Procedures, Test Fixtures, and SysconsnnDevelops test procedures, including assisting with the definition of test specifications with design / software engineering. Develops and refines Mayan scripts for chamber testing.nnWorks with Central Test Engineering, Test Techs, and other Test Engineers on the design and development of test fixtures. May assist in the coordination of test fixture sourcing activities.nnWorks with Total Product Support, Test Techs, Contract Manufacturers, and other workcenters in order to develop and maintain the merged syscons for systems.nnStatistical Process ControlnnGathers operational and test data and evaluates results; may takes corrective/continuous improvement actions.nnContinuous ImprovementnnEvaluates work methods, test procedures, and workcenter policies. Participates in the development and maintenance of new and existing business processes and test strategies in order to continuously improve performance and reduce manufacturing cycle time.nnFailure Analysis and Non-Conformance Corrective ActionnnWorks with Customer Experience team to determine root cause of internal and external non-conformances. Drives corrective action back into test strategy based on corrective actions. Works with Customer Experience, and Design Engineers of failure analysis and drive corrective actions into test process.nnNew Product TransitionsnnSupports new product transitions as key manufacturing engineering team member. Works with Design Engineers to convert their test specifications into tests. Develops test strategies to efficiently test chambers to required quality and cycle time goals. Determines tooling and test fixtures required for testing new chambers as they transition into volume manufacturing environment.nnBusiness ExpertisennUnderstands key business drivers; uses this understanding to accomplish own worknnLeadershipnnNo direct supervisory responsibilities but provides guidance to the teamnnAble to keep team focused on program goals and system delivery on time and with high quality standardsnnProblem SolvingnnSolves problems in straightforward situations; analyzes possible solutions using technical experience and judgment and precedentsnnImpactnnImpacts quality of own work and the work of others on the team; works within guidelines and policiesnnInterpersonal SkillsnnExplains complex information to others in straightforward situationsnnQualificationsnnEducation:nnBachelor's DegreennSkills:nnCertifications:nnLanguages:nnYears of Experience:nn4 - 7 YearsnnWork Experience:nnAdditional InformationnnTime Type:nnFull timennEmployee Type:nnAssignee / RegularnnTravel:nnYes, 10% of the TimennRelocation Eligible:nnYesnnU.S. Salary Range:nn$104,000.00 - $143,000.00nnThe salary offered to a selected candidate will be based on multiple factors including location, hire grade, job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and with consideration of internal equity of our current team members.
