Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in supply chain management, production planning, or operations within the semiconductor industry
  • Deep understanding of the silicon lifecycle: tape-out, fabrication, packaging, test, bring-up, and validation
  • Proven track record working with foundries (TSMC, Samsung, etc.) and OSATs (ASE, Amkor, JCET, etc.)
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% for onsite supplier engagement, engineering builds, and production ramp support
  • Strong understanding of: Silicon manufacturing processes, including wafer fabrication, dicing, bumping, CoWoS packaging, and testing
  • Proficiency in using ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and advanced Excel skills or analytics tools
  • Experience with hardware validation cycles and managing silicon hardware logistics
  • Exceptional program management and organizational skills with the ability to handle complex timelines and interdependencies
  • Effective communicator and cross-functional leader across engineering, validation, and operations teams

Nice to have:

  • Experience working on advanced process nodes (e.g., 5nm, 3nm)
  • Familiarity with ATE platforms (Teradyne, Advantest) and test program infrastructure
  • Prior experience managing silicon bring-up in hyperscale computing, AI/ML, or high-performance SoC environments
  • PMP certification or equivalent project/program management training
  • Familiarity with CoWoS or other 2.5D/3D packaging technologies
What we offer:
  • Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage
