  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-evolving environments where you'll need to build systems and processes alongside the people using them
  • Significant experience in semiconductor manufacturing, fabrication operations, hardware production, or other complex technical manufacturing environments, ideally including R&D, pilot-line, or pre-production settings where processes are still maturing
  • Track record of managing end-to-end production flow across multiple process areas (e.g., fabrication, packaging, test)
  • Experience in small-scale or pilot-line environments transitioning toward low-volume manufacturing — including navigating the tension between development and production priorities

  • Drive alignment on fab capacity allocation across competing priorities: balance resources across production delivery, process development, and technology R&D — ensuring plans are grounded in the program roadmap and scaling priorities
  • Plan and schedule maintenance windows to minimize production impact
  • Own production-level KPIs and dashboards — throughput, cycle time, equipment uptime, and schedule adherence — ensuring they are accurate, accessible, and actionable

  • Partner with process engineering and integration teams to coordinate tech transfers, split-lot management, and wafer disposition — ensuring each transfer follows a clear stage-gate framework with a defined threshold for 'production-ready'
