Position Summary

This role will be one of the initial Taylor site Capacity Planning Engineers. This IC will be responsible for the capability and performance of their assigned Processing Tool groups. This individual is the Production & Systems SME for how to optimize the production capability of constraining tool groups. They will be coordinating strategies between the Production Teams and Fab Engineering teams to achieve monthly output requirements and delivery success. This role encompasses decision making from initial investment requirements, current production capabilities, and project management of capacity improvement actions to help further maximize tool performance and overall Fab output capabilities. Each individual in this team owns 1-3 Unit Parts depending on Unit Part complexity balanced with ownerships of other supporting projects. A large focus of this role over the course of the next 1-3 years will be coordinating the scheduling of tool installations for Taylor, tool qualification, analyzing tool performance to ensure that we have the capacity available to support the expected demand upon each PRC in time for output delivery. Investment analysis has been an increasing demand upon on this team, as we have multiple phases of investment being analyzed, it is this role's responsibility to confirm that we are investing appropriately to support a targeted output volume and to confirm that we are not removing a necessary production tool that could impact our current or future output demand that could result in a production bottleneck risk.
