• Analyzes data to make critical decisions and drive cost reduction activities
• Resolves CT/capacity related issues in the area (redundancy, target reduction, sample plans, RPT issues, etc.)
• Monitors equipment usage and production efficiency to ensure max output and turns
• Provides QDR documentation and proactive follow-up on issues
• Responds to chronic SPC performance issues by driving to fix root cause
• Provides troubleshooting support for complex process problems and address root causes
• Ensures the quality process of daily operations, communicate process holds, and formulate action plans
• Maintains matching and drives for process consistency
• Effectively plans for required capacity and product mix by ensuring equipment is capable of running variance as projected
• Provides effective and timely guidance to resolve equipment issues and is highly engaged in key problem resolution

Data Science and Machine Learning:

• Use Python/JMP/Java and other coding languages to enable AI/Machine-learning principles for reducing engineering time required to perform actions and to simplify repeated tasks
• Automate functions such as Big Data Analysis, Automatic Process Control and Composite Metrology
• Use Coding/Scripting to automate other functions involved with process control, quality, SPC, process maturity, machine/equipment monitoring and others.

Project Management/Planning:

• Manages projects to ensure deliverables are completed within the required scope, schedule and budget
• Tracks actions and provides escalation path or resources to ensure actions will be completed on time
• Drives shift team to focus on priority issues and stay within the scope of the project
