About the Role
We are seeking a seasoned Staff Industrial Engineer with 15+ years of experience to lead wafer fab and cleanroom capacity optimization, layout design, and operational strategy. You will program-manage complex factory expansion and start-up initiatives from initial concept to tool hook-up. This role merges advanced semiconductor capacity modeling with technical costing, driving capital expenditure (CapEx) strategies for new business. This is a senior-level, local individual contributor role with high organizational visibility. This position is based at ASE Semiconductor Penang , formerly known as Analog Devices (ADI).
Responsibilities
- ● Semiconductor Cleanroom & Floor Planning
- ● Program-manage massive wafer fab floor planning projects and sub-fab layout integrations.
- ● Design layouts for advanced cleanrooms (ISO Class 3 to Class 6) optimized for laminar airflow, vibe-sensitive tools, and ultra-pure utility routing.
- ● Optimize footprints for automated material handling systems (AMHS), stockers, and overhead hoist transport (OHT).
- ● Direct cross-functional teams include facilities, equipment engineering, and sub-contractors to execute seamless tool start-ups.
- ● Capacity Modeling & Factory Simulation
- ● Build dynamic models for semiconductor equipment footprint, labor headcount, and tool capacity constraints.
- ● Analyze bottleneck tools (e.g., Lithography, Etch, Diffusion) and optimize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
- ● Simulate wafer flows to predict queue times, cycle time multiples, and raw wafer starts per week (WSPW) under shifting product mixes.
- ● New Business Costing & CapEx Strategy
- ● Engineer costing structures for new customer engagement models, technology nodes, and specialized wafer variants.
- ● Forecast capital investment requirements for tool upgrades, specialized cleanroom build-outs, and footprint modifications.
- ● Calculate cost of ownership (COO) for new tools to ensure alignment with corporate gross margin targets.
Requirements
- ● Degree: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Material Science, or any STEM discipline.
- ● Required Experience & Skills
- ● Experience: 15+ years of hands-on industrial engineering experience within a semiconductor manufacturing (Fab/Foundry) or advanced packaging environment. 1
- ● Technical Skills: Working knowledge of AutoCAD and FlexSim (or equivalent simulation software) is a distinct advantage.
- ● Industry Domain: Deep understanding of semiconductor process steps, automated material handling, cleanroom standards, and tool-utility hook-up procedures.
- ● Business Acumen: Demonstrated mastery of factory costing, tool COO models, and multi-million dollar CapEx management.
- ● Additional Position Details
- ● Structure: Individual contributor role with no direct reports, requiring strong matrix leadership skills to influence cross-functional teams.
- ● Travel: Based locally, with occasional short-duration local or global travel required depending on specific project milestones and vendor evaluations.
