Job Summary:
We are seeking a Manufacturing Systems Engineer to develop, maintain, and continuously improve the quality systems that support our wafer-level and flip chip assembly operations. The role combines corrective action leadership with ownership of the site’s quality data, Smartsheet tracking systems, inspection procedures, and outgoing shipment release. The ideal candidate brings a systems mindset, strong automation and data skills, and the ability to lead cross-functional meetings and train technicians. This is a permanent, full-time position in a high-reliability semiconductor environment.
Responsibilities:
Corrective Action & Problem Solving (30%)
Manage the corrective and preventive action process, records, and status reporting for the site
Lead CARs using 8D and structured root cause analysis (5-Why, fishbone, fault tree), partnering with engineering and manufacturing on failure analysis and effective corrective actions
Facilitate the weekly CAR review and quality incident report meeting using the CAR Action Tracker (priority-based timelines, escalation, timed effectiveness audits) to drive on-time containment and closure
Report closure progress to the Quality Director and site leadership, and verify effectiveness through data analysis and follow-up validation
Support continuous improvement (CIPs, PARs) using Lean/Six Sigma and DMAIC
Quality Procedures & Training (25%)
Own the quality processes and ~20 operating procedures (IQC, OQC, RTR, QAE, SMT, and others), and create or improve procedures for assembly, facilities, EHS, and process development
Own the RTR process and serve as SME and equipment engineer for the Vitrox reel-to-reel inspection tool
Train quality technicians and new hires on these procedures, and manage technician certification and recertification (QA Certification Checklist, Quality Training Matrix)
Quality Data & Metrics (20%)
Administer the site’s quality Smartsheet environment (sheets, trackers, dashboards, automations, user access), including the CAR, CAR Audit, CIP, PAR, and customer request trackers
Build automated systems and integrations (Smartsheet automations, scripts, code) that reduce manual tracking
Create and manage quality KPIs; publish weekly metrics using Tableau or other dashboards
Serve as general systems engineer for site support functions, and evaluate AI and automation tools that streamline daily work
Inspection, Shipment Release & Customer Requirements (15%)
Act as the engineering verification point for outgoing shipments: review OQC scans, shipment documentation, and NCMRs, and participate in MRB dispositions so no nonconforming material leaves the site
Prepare Full Material Declarations (FMDs) and complete SGS and other third-party compliance requests with Document Control
Track customer requests and customer-specific requirements to on-time closure, and support customer complaints through the RMA process
Quality Systems & Standards (10%)
Maintain the ISO 9001 QMS and support the transition to IATF 16949
Participate in internal and external audits as technical SME
Review and approve quality documentation (procedures, work instructions, process specifications)
