- Quickly engaging in issues across modules, outside of your expertise, to direct the group in solving the root cause of an issue.
- Innovation, problem solving, development and continuous improvement of equipment and processes through application of experimental design and statistical methods.
- IC substrate process and equipment development, including application of novel concepts in manufacturing technology solutions for next-generation devices.
- Process and equipment specification development, application of principles for design of experiments and data analysis - in addition to planning and documentation of improvements through the change control process.
- The training of additional engineers and technicians to facilitate technology and process transfer to other factories worldwide for High Volume Manufacturing (HVM).

The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits and/or skills:

- Demonstrated written and verbal communication skills.
- Problem-solving, analytical and troubleshooting abilities.
- Flexibility in changing priorities and responsibilities to support business needs.
- Tolerance for ambiguity in a fast-paced, constantly changing product roadmap environment.
- Self-initiated, action-oriented with the willingness to work independently.
- Participation and a sense of ownership; frequent floor presence and interaction with manufacturing personnel.
- Demonstrate technical innovation and delivered results for complex, time-critical technical projects.
- Willingness to apply fundamental science and engineering concepts in development to create novel solutions.
