- Build and maintain a network of reliable equipment suppliers with a focus on innovation, cost reduction, and long-term partnerships.
- Equipment Qualification: Lead the technical qualification and validation of new semiconductor equipment, ensuring it meets the process specifications.
- Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to conduct performance testing, Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT).
- Work with suppliers to ensure equipment meets operational requirements and is integrated into the production line seamlessly.
- Supplier Evaluation and Selection: Conduct technical audits of potential equipment suppliers, evaluating their manufacturing capabilities, quality control processes, and after-sales support.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to select equipment suppliers based on technical merit, reliability, and support capabilities.
- Develop long-term supplier relationships to ensure continuous support, timely equipment upgrades, and access to new technologies.
- Cost Management and Negotiation Support: Support commercial sourcing team on negotiations with suppliers to secure the best warranty terms and service agreements for semiconductor equipment.
- Develop total Cost of Ownership (CoO) models to assess the long-term financial impact of equipment purchases, considering factors such as maintenance, downtime, and operational expenses.
- Work closely with commercial sourcing and finance teams to optimize capital expenditures (CapEx) related to equipment sourcing.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with process engineering, manufacturing, and R&D teams to ensure equipment specifications align with production requirements.
- Support New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts by sourcing and qualifying equipment necessary for new semiconductor processes.
- Partner with the maintenance and operations teams to ensure that equipment is reliable, well-supported, and easy to maintain.
- Risk Management: Identify risks related to equipment sourcing, such as supply chain disruptions, technological obsolescence, or vendor reliability issues.
- Develop risk mitigation strategies, including establishing alternative suppliers and sourcing options.
- Work with suppliers to implement redundancy plans and ensure minimal production disruption.
- Technology and Market Research: Stay informed about emerging technologies, industry trends, and advancements in semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
- Evaluate new technologies and their potential impact on manufacturing efficiency, cost savings, and process innovation.
- Attend industry conferences and supplier meetings to maintain a thorough understanding of the semiconductor equipment market.
- Compliance and Standards: Ensure that all sourced equipment complies with industry standards (e.g., SEMI, ISO) and regulatory requirements (e.g., environmental and safety).
- Collaborate with legal and compliance teams to ensure that all equipment procurement contracts meet corporate policies and regulatory requirements.
- Continuous Improvement and CoO Optimization: Identify opportunities for CoO reduction, process improvement, and increased equipment efficiency.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives by working with suppliers and internal teams to optimize equipment performance and operational reliability.
Qualifications:
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical field. An advanced degree (e.g., MBA) or certification in supply chain management (e.g., CPSM) is a plus.
Experience:
- 10+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, with a focus on equipment sourcing, process engineering, or procurement.
- Deep technical knowledge of semiconductor equipment such as deposition, etching, lithography, or metrology tools.
Technical Knowledge:
- Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes and the equipment required to support front-end or back-end fabrication.
- Knowledge of equipment qualification procedures, including Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), and reliability testing.
- Familiarity with industry standards such as SEMI and ISO, as well as regulatory requirements related to semiconductor equipment.
Skills:
- Strong negotiation and contract management skills, with experience securing favorable terms for capital equipment purchases.
- Excellent project management skills to oversee multiple equipment sourcing and qualification projects.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with internal stakeholders and external suppliers.
- Proficient in supply chain management software and ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle).
Other:
- Ability to travel domestically and internationally for supplier audits, equipment testing, and installation oversight.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to assess equipment performance data and make informed sourcing decisions.
Key Competencies:
- Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge of semiconductor equipment and its role in advanced manufacturing processes.
- Negotiation Skills: Proven ability to negotiate complex contracts and secure cost-effective solutions for capital equipment.
- Project Management: Ability to manage sourcing projects from initial evaluation through to installation and commissioning.
- Supplier Management: Expertise in evaluating and developing relationships with equipment suppliers.
- Risk Mitigation: Ability to identify risks in the supply chain and develop strategies to ensure continuous equipment availability.
