Responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership in identifying, evaluating, improving and maintaining equipment.
• Equipment engineering ownership for various platforms and opportunity for process ownership for right skillset.
• New equipment selection, acceptance and start-up as well as hardware and software optimization/upgrades; conferring with equipment vendors and manufacturing engineers at Broadcom Limited.
• Develop and implement preventative, predictive and high precision maintenance procedures. Implementation includes documenting procedures, as well as training and certifying personnel.
• Collaborate with Process Engineering and R&D to conceptualize and progress opportunities that enable continued technological leadership; working across roles & teams, both internal and external, to deliver benefit to the business.
• Yield, quality and cost improvements to existing unit processes and equipment, to deliver highly robust and consistent results in collaboration with equipment maintenance and operational organizations.
• Development and characterization of robust solutions to R&D needs in collaboration with development engineering groups.
• Experimental design and data analysis to support the line sustaining work, process development and equipment improvements. Solid identification and resolution of yield and defect issues with clear communication of results across the organization.
• Work with peers and the process engineering/maintenance teams to establish project objectives, schedules and resource profiles for projects. Organizes and manages longer term improvement projects to meet organizational goals.
• Implement robust monitoring methodologies enabling early detection of excursions in equipment performance before product is impacted (e.g. SPC, FDC, baselining & matching).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with TEL_ACT8 and PAS5500 equipment highly desirable.
• Candidates with practical experience in Fault Detection & Classification (FDC) systems, Copy Exactly (CE!) methodology, High Precision Maintenance (HPM), TPS, and Lean will be considered preferentially.
