Manufacturing Operations Leader, Texas Institute for Electronics

FAB Throughput and Wafer Starts: Manage master wafer start plan and daily execution cadence, balance demand, capacity, engineering work, and maintenance windows, achieve committed output, cycle time, and on-time delivery metrics. People, Shift and Gowning Readiness: Ensure shift staffing alignment with wafer start and production loads, guarantee gown room readiness for all shifts and contingency scenarios, and train and enforce cleanroom discipline and standard work. Material Flow and Logistics Excellence: Ensure seamless lot movement with zero wafer loss or misprocessing, drive AMHS reliability and manual transport discipline, and minimize wafer handling defects and contamination risks. Spares, Inventory and Cost Control: Ensure spares availability to meet tool uptime and production targets, drive cost discipline through optimized inventory management, and maintain accurate and audit-ready inventory logs and traceability. Continuous Improvement and Stability: Lead Lean, Six Sigma, and SPC initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, lot start predictability, and inventory optimization; apply structured root cause analysis (8D, FMEA) to recurring FAB issues.
