Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing. As a Front-End (FE) Global Manufacturing Senior Engineer, you will collaborate with all Front-End Manufacturing sites to deliver strategic solutions and drive the sharing of Best-Known Methods (BKMs) towards operations excellence. You will support global Manufacturing Engineering (ME) operations through standardization, optimization, digitalization, and systemization. This includes developing clear metrics to define deliverables, leveraging your front-end manufacturing expertise, and influencing key business partners to achieve alignment and improve output efficiency. In this role, you will engage with diverse global stakeholders to execute network-wide projects and identify benchmarking opportunities across all sites. By facilitating effective knowledge sharing, you will help maximize the utilization of talent and capabilities worldwide. You will contribute to competitive business outcomes by leading innovative solutions, removing operational barriers, assisting in troubleshooting efforts, and escalating issues when necessary to ensure timely resolution. Responsibilities and Tasks Global Standardization and BKM (Best Known Methods) Governance: Lead the development, standardization, benchmarking, and continuous improvement of FE ME operation/equipment metrics, capacity readiness processes, business processes, and BKMs across all sites. Govern Fab Manufacturing Engineering operational ground rules and ensure consistent alignment of methodologies, metrics, and best practices globally. Act as a global/area technical SME to optimize area operations, systems integration, and digital ecosystem adoption, driving global standardization and systemization of BKMs into long‑term ME blueprints. Facilitate WW ME forums, area network meetings, and sustain/audit existing global BKMs and business processes. Analyze line performance, equipment utilization, OEE, workstation/block WPD, and capacity readiness using Theory of Constraints and Lean Manufacturing. Proactively drive area efficiency improvement by deep‑diving into root causes of equipment availability losses, operating losses, and baseline capability gaps—partnering with Site Manufacturing, Process, Equipment, and SIC teams. Forecast potential roadblocks in constraint workstation management and work with Site Manufacturing Managers to create mitigation plans. Lead proof‑of‑concepts and deployment of automation solutions, scheduling enhancements, BKM dashboards, and digital reporting to improve fab productivity. Govern global change processes and drive scheduling system improvements that enhance predictability, agility, and performance. Drive BKM knowledge sharing and effective implementation across FE sites, fostering a strong culture of collaboration and continuous improvement. Build a motivating environment that strengthens team engagement and enables members to reach their fullest potential. Collaborate with cross-functional and multicultural teams globally, demonstrating strong cultural agility and the ability to build rapport remotely and in person.
