Job description

ESSENTIAL DUTIES

AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Set up, troubleshoot, and recover complex downtime issues for test equipment, including Testcell, Tester, Bagger, VDCS, and Conveyor systems, with minimal supervision. Proven experience leading and supporting Continuous Improvement Projects (CIP) to improve equipment performance, reduce downtime, enhance OEE, and optimize manufacturing processes. Troubleshoot and resolve Testcell yield issues to maintain product quality, throughput, and equipment stability.

Conduct detailed investigations for quality incidents related to test equipment, perform root cause analysis, and implement effective corrective and preventive actions. Perform product conversions, equipment setup, calibration, and optimization to support various production and engineering requirements. Monitor and analyze KPIVs using tools such as KPOV database, OEE tracking, Maintenance Logs, and Digital Preventive Maintenance systems to identify trends and drive equipment improvement actions.

Drive and support equipment upgrades, automation improvements, reliability enhancement, and continuous improvement projects to improve equipment performance and manufacturing efficiency. Act as a technical trainer and mentor for test equipment, supporting upskilling and knowledge transfer activities within the team. Perform equipment inspections, preventive maintenance, and checklist verification in accordance with standard operating procedures and engineering requirements.

Support engineers in daily technical activities, machine evaluations, qualifications, and special projects. Demonstrate strong critical thinking and troubleshooting capability in identifying complex equipment issues and making effective technical decisions under high-pressure production conditions. Maintain strong attention to detail and observation skills to identify abnormalities, equipment degradation, and potential failure indicators early.

Quickly learn and adapt to new equipment, technologies, and manufacturing processes with minimal guidance. Ensure compliance with ISO standards, documentation practices, ESD requirements, and manufacturing procedures. Adhere strictly to all safety regulations, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) requirements, and cleanroom protocols.
