Role Summary The Unit-Level Traceability Technical Expert will be responsible for designing, implementing, and sustaining traceability systems that capture, store, and retrieve manufacturing data at the individual unit/device level in an OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly & Test) environment. This role ensures compliance with customer requirements, industry standards, and internal quality objectives while enabling advanced analytics for yield, reliability, and process optimization. Key Responsibilities 1. System Design & Implementation Design traceability solutions capable of capturing data for each unit/device across all OSAT manufacturing stages (assembly, test, packaging). Define and implement data structures, barcoding/2 D marking, and serialization methodologies. Collaborate with MES and automation teams for seamless integration of traceability workflows into production systems. 2. Integration & Data Flow Integrate traceability systems with MES, ERP (SAP), PLM, QMS, SPC, and equipment automation systems. Ensure high-speed, low-latency data capture and retrieval to support manufacturing throughput. Work with automation engineers for real-time equipment connectivity (SECS/GEM, OPC-UA, MQTT). 3. Data Management & Compliance Define data retention policies with QA, storage architectures, and retrieval mechanisms in line with customer, ISO/IATF, and regulatory requirements. Ensure compliance with traceability standards for automotive, aerospace, medical, and semiconductor customers. Conduct system audits to validate data accuracy and completeness. 4. Analytics & Reporting Build dashboards and reporting tools to provide real-time and historical traceability insights. Support root cause analysis, yield improvement, and customer reporting needs. Leverage traceability data for predictive analytics and defect correlation. 5. Continuous Improvement & Innovation Evaluate and implement Industry 4.0 and AI-driven solutions for automated traceability and defect correlation. Benchmark and adopt best practices from global semiconductor manufacturing leaders. Qualifications & Skills Education: Bachelor’s in Electronics, Computer Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field. Master’s degree or industry certifications in manufacturing systems preferred. Experience: 5–8 years in manufacturing IT or automation roles, with hands-on experience in unit-level traceability systems. Experience in OSAT, semiconductor, or high-volume electronics manufacturing. Technical Skills: Strong knowledge of MES traceability modules and serialization systems. Proficiency in database management (SQL, No SQL) and data visualization (Power BI, Tableau). Familiarity with marking and reading technologies (laser marking, 2 D/QR/barcode scanning). Experience with industrial protocols (SECS/GEM, OPC-UA) and automation integration. Knowledge of AI/ML applications in defect correlation and yield improvement (preferred). Soft Skills: Strong analytical skills and detail orientation. Effective cross-functional collaboration with engineering, quality, and operations teams. Ability to manage multiple projects in a high-pressure manufacturing environment.
