The candidate will build automated workflows, convert process flows into system models, and manage product structures like wafers and material carriers. Key technical responsibilities include troubleshooting MES, MCS, MVC, RFID, and wafer ID reader integrations while developing interfaces using SECS/GEM, HSMS, IoT platforms, APIs, and Message Bus technologies. The role also involves performing SQL queries for data analysis, conducting end-to-end testing, and developing AI-powered solutions, including Microsoft Copilot Studio agents, to enhance productivity within a complex semiconductor manufacturing and research environment.

What you'll do

  • Create, configure, and maintain MES models and automated workflows for manufacturing and laboratory operations.
  • Convert complex process flows into automated system models to improve product traceability and efficiency.
  • Configure and maintain product structures including wafers, die, equipment, facilities, and material carriers.
  • Develop and maintain interfaces between MES and third-party systems using SECS/GEM, HSMS, IoT, and APIs.
  • Perform end-to-end testing and validation across integrated factory systems and applications.
  • Develop SQL queries and reports to support operational analysis and troubleshooting.
  • Support AI-enabled solutions and develop Microsoft Copilot Studio agents for factory operations.
  • Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for system issues.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field (or Master's/PhD with adjusted experience).
  • Minimum 5 years of related experience for Bachelor's holders, 3 years for Master's holders, or a PhD.
  • At least 2 years of experience supporting Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) in a manufacturing environment.
  • Experience modeling wafers, IP coupons, die, sub-silicon products, equipment, facilities, material carriers, and consumables.
  • Experience integrating MES with factory systems using SECS/GEM, HSMS, IoT, APIs, and Message Bus architectures.
  • Proficiency with SQL databases, Operational Data Stores (ODS), and Data Warehouses for troubleshooting and reporting.
  • Knowledge of factory automation applications including MCS, MVC, RFID solutions, wafer ID readers, and Service Management.
  • Experience developing AI-powered solutions, workflow automations, or Microsoft Copilot Studio agents is preferred.
