  • Site Smart Manufacturing Leadership: Lead and develop a high-performing cross-functional team of ~15 manufacturing IT engineers and domain experts supporting the fab, building a culture focused on customer partnership, ownership, and operational discipline.
  • Manufacturing Systems & Automation: Own the delivery and operational excellence of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), tool integration/connectivity, equipment automation (SECS/GEM, EDA, OPC-UA), equipment scheduling interfaces, manufacturing data collection, and factory dashboards.
  • AMHS & Robotics Orchestration: Provide site leadership for Automated Material Handling System (AMHS) orchestration, material movement optimization, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), fleet coordination, and emerging robotics solutions.
  • Factory Reliability & Availability: Own the operational health of manufacturing IT systems, leading incident response, root cause analysis, monitoring, and disaster recovery readiness to minimize downtime for production-critical systems.
  • Digital Transformation & Change Management: Champion adoption of new Smart Manufacturing capabilities across the fab, replacing manual work with automation and AI-enabled solutions.
