Our ~16,800 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.\nOur award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.\nResponsibilities\nLot Start Execution\nStart new lots in the manufacturing execution system (MES) from released jobs, using the correct process route, product, lot size, wafer quantity and priority.\nConfirm every lot is approved in the weekly start plan before release. Don't start unapproved or out-of-cycle work without management approval.\nKeep lot start records accurate, including lot numbers, job numbers, mask sets and wafer IDs.\nHandle special start types as directed, such as full-flow, partial-flow, short-loop and engineering lots.\nLot Dispatching\nMove completed lots from one process area to the next, following the process route.\nCheck in the system that each lot has finished its current step before moving it. Its status, location and paperwork must match.\nMove lots promptly so they don't sit idle between areas.\nDeliver lots in priority order. Move hot lots and expedited lots first, as directed by Planning or management.\nHandle and transport wafers correctly, following carrier, ESD and contamination-control requirements.\nWork with area leads and shift supervisors to keep lots moving and avoid backups at receiving areas.\nFlag lots that are on hold, incomplete or missing paperwork, and escalate them instead of moving them.\nKeep lot movement records accurate in the system.\nWafer-Start Allocation & Control\nTrack weekly wafer starts against the approved allocation for each category, such as production, engineering and development. Raise any request that would exceed the limit before acting on it.\nKeep the weekly starts tracker current, and provide start data and summaries for planning reviews.\nPlace lots on hold, release them and change priorities as directed.\nRecord trade-offs when urgent starts are offset by holding or deferring other work.\nMaterial & Substrate Management\nManage substrate and epitaxial wafer inventory, including qualified and unqualified material, and report shortages early.\nComplete material transfers in the system, and check received wafers against the transfer paperwork.\nWork with engineering on the rules for which material to use for each product.\nKeep system inventory matching physical inventory. Store and label material correctly.\nOutside Processing\nPrepare and ship lots to outside vendors and subcontractors for processing, such as epitaxial growth, regrowth, backside processing or other outsourced steps.\nCheck lot contents, wafer counts, wafer IDs and paperwork before shipment.\nPackage and label wafers correctly, following handling, ESD and contamination-control requirements.\nComplete the required shipping records, purchase orders or transfer transactions, and move lot status in the system to match the physical location.\nWork with Planning, Engineering, Purchasing and Shipping/Receiving on schedules, vendor instructions and required documents.\nTrack lots while they're at outside vendors, and escalate delays, damage or missing material.\nReceive returned lots, check wafer counts and condition against the shipping records, and return them to the line in the system.\nCommunication & Coordination\nServe as the main operational contact for Planning, Engineering, material suppliers and shift supervisors on anything related to lot starts, dispatching and outside processing.\nConfirm completed starts back to Planning quickly, and escalate missing material, routing problems or unclear requests right away.\nHand off clearly to production shifts so lots flow through the line without delay.\nQuality, Compliance & Continuous Improvement\nFollow approved procedures and system instructions exactly, with no informal or undocumented direction.\nFollow safety, cleanroom, ESD and material-handling requirements at all times.\nReport start, dispatch and shipping errors, and take part in root cause analysis and corrective action.\nSuggest improvements to start, dispatch and shipping workflows, trackers and reporting tools.\nKeep procedures and training materials current, and help train backups.\nQualifications\nRequired\nHigh school diploma or equivalent.\n2+ years in semiconductor manufacturing, cleanroom operations, or a similar controlled production setting.\nExperience using a manufacturing execution system (MES) or ERP system to track lots, move them and record transactions.\nVery strong attention to detail, with a record of accurate data entry and documentation.\nKnowledge of lot tracking, work-in-process (WIP) flow, lot priorities and holds.\nAbility to handle and transport wafers safely, following cleanroom, ESD and contamination-control requirements.\nIntermediate Excel skills for tracking, reconciling data and reporting.\nClear written and verbal communication with planning, engineering, production and outside vendors.\nAbility to juggle competing priorities, meet deadlines and escalate issues early.\nAbility to follow written procedures exactly and work with little supervision.\nAbility to meet cleanroom gowning requirements, stand and walk for long periods, and lift up to 25 lbs.\nPreferred\nAssociate's degree or technical certificate in manufacturing, electronics, logistics, or a related field.\nExperience in wafer starts, material control, or production control in a semiconductor fab.\nKnowledge of compound semiconductor substrates and epitaxial materials.\nExperience shipping material to and receiving it from outside vendors, including packaging, shipping paperwork and purchase orders.\nUnderstanding of inventory control practices and reconciling physical inventory against system records.\nExperience training others or covering as a backup in production support roles.\nPay Range:\nUSD $56,090.00 - USD $93,480.00 Year\nCareers Privacy Statement ***Keysight is an Equal Opportunity Employer.***\nLot Start Execution\nStart new lots in the manufacturing execution system (MES) from released jobs, using the correct process route, product, lot size, wafer quantity and priority.\nConfirm every lot is approved in the weekly start plan before release.
