Job description

We are seeking a Wafer Manufacturing Section Manager to lead high-volume semiconductor frontend production in a fast-paced, multinational environment. This role requires strong manufacturing execution, team leadership, and process understanding, with the ability to collaborate closely with Engineering teams to drive yield and productivity.

We are not looking for a pure process engineer — this role owns manufacturing execution with strong process collaboration.

Job Responsibilities

🔹 Production Management

• Lead daily wafer fabrication operations to meet output, cycle time, and delivery targets
• Manage and develop production teams in cleanroom environment
• Monitor and drive manufacturing KPIs (WIP, cycle time, OEE, tool utilization)
• Ensure shift execution discipline and production stability

🔹 Process & Engineering Interface

• Work closely with Process Engineering (PE), Equipment Engineering (EE), and Yield teams
• Support process control, excursion handling, and root cause analysis
• Drive continuous improvement on yield, defect reduction, and productivity
• Support new process qualification and technology transfer

🔹 Operational Excellence

• Lead continuous improvement initiatives (Lean / Six Sigma concepts preferred)
• Optimize fab capacity and resource allocation
• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and fab operation standards

Must-have

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Engineering (IE, planning, EE, Materials, Chemical, Physics, etc.)
• 6+ years of experience in semiconductor wafer fabrication (frontend)
• 2+ years of team leadership experience (Supervisor / Shift lead)
• Strong understanding of wafer process flow (Litho / Etch / Thin Film / Diffusion / CMP…)
• Experience in high-volume manufacturing environment
• High-volume wafer fab operations
• Shift management / line management
• WIP handling
• Yield & cycle time ownership
• Cross-functional alignment with PE/EE

Nice-to-have

• Experience in multinational semiconductor companies (e.g., US-based)
• Familiar with fab KPI management (yield, cycle time, wip control)
• Experience working closely with PE/EE in process improvement
• Strong English communication skills
• Experience in DRAM / advanced node manufacturing

Others

• Strong ownership and accountability
• Data-driven decision making
• Ability to manage ambiguity and fast-changing priorities
• Effective cross-functional communication
• Leadership with coaching mindset
