Design and implement advanced computer vision, image processing, and AI/ML algorithms for XCT inline inspection. Develop 3D reconstruction, feature detection, defect analysis, and metrology solutions; translate prototypes into production-grade software; optimize performance with multithreading, parallel compute and GPU acceleration; validate and scale algorithms; collaborate with hardware, systems, and global engineering teams.

Provide general clerical and administrative support including typing documents, screening calls, scheduling meetings/video conferences, managing electronic calendars, handling mail, arranging travel, and assisting with miscellaneous HR or project tasks. Uses standard procedures and basic analytical skills to complete routine tasks.

Lead cross-functional semiconductor and display R&D programs from concept through deployment. Create and drive project plans, schedules, budgets, and procurement; coordinate resources and vendors worldwide; provide technical guidance, resolve issues, and communicate status across teams to ensure on-time, within-budget delivery.

Design and develop interactive e-learning modules primarily using Articulate Storyline 360. Collaborate with SMEs and instructional designers to create multimedia-rich, SCORM-compliant courses, perform QA and troubleshooting, support classroom and blended programs, and drive standardization via reusable templates and UX-consistent courseware.

Manage supplier relationships and agreements, implement commodity strategies, support new supplier introductions and disengagements, and resolve systemic supply chain issues affecting quality, cost, delivery, and lead time. Engage with PLC processes and lead small projects while advising less experienced colleagues.

Lead 24/7 semiconductor lab operations to meet Safety, Quality, and Output targets. Oversee cleanroom staff and production control, drive equipment utilization, root-cause investigations, CAPA, customer escalations, and continuous improvement using Lean and Six Sigma practices.

Manage and deliver assigned non-technical projects and programs by defining objectives, milestones, resources, and viability studies. Ensure projects meet specifications, budgets, timelines, and compliance with company policies. Document all phases, coordinate cross-functional teams, optimize resource utilization, and support productivity. May work in clean rooms and perform physical tasks; occasional travel (~10%).

Manage supplier relationships and agreements, implement commodity strategies, engage in product lifecycle and new supplier introductions, and resolve systemic supply chain issues affecting quality, cost, delivery, or lead-times. Collaborate cross-functionally, lead small projects, and provide subject-matter guidance within broad policies.

Manage supplier relationships and agreements, implement commodity strategies, engage with PLC and new supplier introductions or disengagements, and resolve systemic supply chain issues affecting quality, cost, delivery, and lead-times.

Plan and maintain MRP/work order schedules to ensure on-time material availability; reconcile supply and demand; manage ECO/ECR impacts; perform inventory, WIP and floor audits; drive root-cause corrective actions, cycle counting, and system integrity; train and mentor planning staff and report material status to production and finance.
