5. Network Governance & Technical Stewardship

• Provide expert guidance on TOR, BKM governance, process windows, and technical decision frameworks.
• Ensure standardization of troubleshooting flows, tool health metrics, and scanner capability indices across sites.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Physics, Materials, or related field).
• 6+ years of relevant semiconductor photo processing or scanner engineering experience.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including supplier engagement.

• Strong expertise with scanner hardware, applications, diagnostics, and process‑equipment interaction.
• Proven ability to lead cross‑functional and cross‑site engineering initiatives.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ASML scanners and advanced technology node ramps.
• Demonstrated success in driving large‑scale manufacturing or equipment performance programs.
• Technical leadership in Photo technical engineering functions with excellent project management knowledge

• Experience with structured problem solving (8D, DOE, SPC).
