If you like wild growth and working with happy, enthusiastic over-achievers, you'll enjoy your career with us!

We are seeking a highly analytical and detail oriented Industrial Engineer to support introduction of new technology, capacity planning, continuous improvement, and operational efficiency within a semiconductor wafer fabrication environment. This role is responsible for factory project management, developing factory capacity models, driving Lean and automation initiatives, and leading cross functional improvement projects that reduce waste, improve throughput, and enhance overall fab performance. The Industrial Engineer will partner with manufacturing, engineering, planning, automation, and finance teams to ensure optimized factory operations and scalable growth.

  • Support automation of reports, forecast models, and dispatching systems (Python, SQL, FPS ETL improvements).
  • Collaborate with IT/Automation to improve step‑based dispatching, system logic, and data accuracy.
  • Enhance digital processes to eliminate manual effort and increase reporting reliability.

4. Project Leadership & Execution

  • Lead cross‑functional projects such as, new technology introduction, tool moves, workflow redesigns, cycle‑time reduction initiatives, and cost‑saving efforts.
  • Develop timelines, objectives, and resource requirements for assigned projects.
  • Coordinate with manufacturing, engineering, facilities, and planning to ensure project success.
  • Prepare and deliver progress updates to stakeholders and leadership.
  • Support technology transfers or factory transitions as needed.

5. Operational Support & Analysis

  • Conduct time studies, layout evaluations, and value stream mapping.
  • Diagnose dispatching, WIP, or scheduling issues and recommend improvements.
  • Evaluate performance against plan and provide early indicators of risk.
  • Support monthly projections and financial planning inputs.
  • Serve as a key contributor to cycle time improvement strategies.

Education and Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related technical field.
  • 5+ years of experience in high‑tech manufacturing; wafer fab experience preferred.
  • Demonstrated experience in Lean, continuous improvement, or process optimization.
  • Strong analytical skills with proficiency in Excel, data modeling, and visualization tools (Power BI/Tableau).

  • Proactive, resourceful, and solution-oriented mindset

Other Requirements:

  • Occasional travel may be required for project support, training, or cross‑site collaboration.
