PCS Engineer

Description

The company is a major maker of memory and storage products, and this role supports its semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

The job centres on keeping fault detection and classification (FDC) running in one manufacturing area, with a focus on preventing excursions and scrap.

You will work with engineering, production and information systems teams, and with counterparts at other sites worldwide.

Responsibilities

• Maintain FDC for semiconductor fabs and map the dependencies each FDC setup relies on.
• Own FDC for a specific manufacturing area.
• Put established standards into practice, keep them current and improve them.
• Test and roll out system changes, and run controlled modifications through change management.
• Deploy and maintain FDC strategies in AMAT E3, including data collection, summary indicators, limits and OCAP, to reduce the risk of excursions and scrap.
• Troubleshoot strategy, tool and system issues, document them, escalate when needed and see each one through to closure.
• Track how well strategies perform and find ways to improve them.
• Follow worldwide FDC best practices, business rules, standards and change procedures.
• Compare FDC practices and excursion prevention methods with counterparts around the world.
• Attend daily tactical meetings, speak with customers, and help analyze and promote the use of FDC data.
• Review user access lists against product integrity, security and intellectual property standards.
• Coordinate FDC work across SPC, APC, FDC, MES, process control, GEM/SECS, ECN and global conversion programs.
• Act as the link between information systems, production management and engineering management.
• Anticipate or diagnose automation problems across several equipment types in your area.
• Join site-wide or global projects.
• Own cost reduction projects, find cost-effective sustaining and manufacturing improvements, cut routine spending and encourage cost awareness.
• Follow all safety and environmental procedures and report any EHSS concern right away to the right person, such as ERT or your supervisor.

Requirements

• A Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, chemical engineering, computer engineering, information systems or a related field.
• Understanding of semiconductor process control, including SPC, fault detection and data-driven monitoring of equipment and processes.
• Ability to analyze manufacturing data and system output to diagnose abnormal equipment or process behavior, spot trends and support engineering decisions that correct performance deviations.
• Experience with manufacturing systems used in semiconductor production, such as MES and process control platforms, including rule-based logic.
• Ability to structure manufacturing data with SQL, Python or similar tools.
• Working knowledge of root-cause methods such as FMEA, RCA, 8D or similar, used to find underlying causes and drive corrective and preventive actions.
• Experience building automated reports and dashboards that gather, standardize and track manufacturing data and equipment signals with common visualization tools.
