Our Team and Role

We are a global leader in the semiconductor industry, developing advanced metrology systems for next-generation products. Our organization transforms innovative designs into robust, repeatable, and scalable systems. The New Product Manufacturing Engineering (NPME) team is vital in bridging development and production, ensuring new products are manufacturable, mature, and ready for high-volume production. As an NPME, you will guide products from early development, addressing all manufacturing requirements. By actively participating in first prototype integration, you will gain knowledge and build the infrastructure necessary for the transition to serial manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

• NPI Early Engagement: Participate in New Product Introduction (NPI) pilot module builds and design reviews. Identify and address critical gaps in Design for Excellence (DFx) systems. Maintain continuous communication with NPI disciplines like Product Design (PD), System Quality (S. Qual), Software (SW), and NPI project teams.
• Documentation Preparation: Develop, maintain, and update all required documentation for calibration methods, certification processes, and integration activities to ensure readiness and compliance.
• New Methods Implementation: Drive calibration methods from early phases through readiness. Own certification processes, documentation, and gap closure.
• Maturity Gap Leadership: Lead efforts to close maturity gaps across systems and processes.
• Manufacturing Line Support: Provide escalation support for manufacturing (MFG) line issues.
• Innovation Initiatives: Propose and implement methods to improve ease of use and introduce supporting features for managing and tracking complex details.
• Integration Focus: Collaborate across mechanical, electrical, optical, and software domains to ensure seamless integration of multidisciplinary systems.

Job Requirements

• Experience: A minimum of 2–3 years of experience in integrating multidisciplinary systems. Proven troubleshooting skills and a strong system-level understanding. Demonstrated experience in integrating mechanical, electrical, optical, and software systems.
• Skills: Strong leadership and communication skills. High motivation to learn and delve into technical details. Familiarity with Product Development Center (PDC) disciplines is an advantage.
• Additional Requirements: Ability to work in an evening shift mode for 50% of the time. Willingness to spend 50% of time in the U.S. during the first two years. Flexibility to operate in a dynamic, global environment.
