The Senior Manager is a critical link between Sales, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Equipment, and Quality, translating corporate goals into capacity plans and factory-floor improvements, and escalating constraints and investment needs that require leadership attention. Key Responsibilities • Own capacity planning, the master production schedule, and loading plans against demand forecasts, balancing WIP, cycle time, and on-time delivery. • Lead bottleneck analysis and drive OEE, UPH, utilization, and X-factor improvements across assembly and test lines. • Lead a team of industrial engineers, planners, and analysts, building bench strength and succession depth. • Run S&OP and capacity review cycles with Sales, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing, managing hot lots, priorities, and subcontractor loading. • Own factory layout, line balancing, standard times, and equipment ratios for new lines, tool installs, and relocations. • Build simulation and what-if models (DES, Little's Law) to support capex justification and expansion decisions. • Drive continuous improvement using Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma to reduce cost, scrap, and downtime. • Lead the automation roadmap (AMHS, robotics, auto-handling) with clear ROI and manufacturing readiness for NPI and technology transfer. • Own planning and scheduling systems (MES, APS, dispatching rules) and promote AI, analytics, and digitalization in factory operations. • Report site-level KPIs (OEE, cycle time, delivery, productivity, cost) to senior leadership and drive corrective actions for gaps. • Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Manufacturing, Electrical/Electronic, or Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field. Master's degree or MBA is a plus. • 10+ years of progressive experience in semiconductor or high-volume electronics manufacturing, with at least 3 years managing people. • Strong working knowledge of semiconductor operations (assembly, test, and/or wafer fab), including SEMI E10 tool states, WIP, and cycle time management. • Proven record in capacity planning, bottleneck management, and measurable productivity improvement at factory level. • Demonstrated success driving Lean/Six Sigma initiatives with measurable cost, yield, or throughput gains. • Hands-on experience with MES, APS/scheduling, and data tools (SQL, Power BI/Tableau, Python or similar). • Proven people-leadership track record in hiring, developing, and retaining engineering and planning talent. Preferred Skills • Experience with simulation tools (e.g., AutoMod, FlexSim, Simul8). • Experience with automotive-grade standards and customer qualification (IATF 16949, PPAP, APQP, PCN). • Familiarity with SAP or other ERP systems; S&OP or APICS (CPIM/CSCP) experience. • Six Sigma Black Belt or Lean certification. • Experience leading automation, site expansion, or Industry 4.0 initiatives, ideally in a global, matrixed organization.
