Job Description:

Key Responsibilities：

1. OSAT Production Management

• Own day-to-day production management across multiple OSAT partners, ensuring on-time delivery, output targets, and quality commitments are consistently met.

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for OSAT production engineering and operations teams.

• Conduct regular production reviews, capacity reviews, and escalation meetings with OSAT partners.

• Establish and enforce production control plans, work instructions, and standard operating procedures at OSAT sites.

• Monitor and manage OSAT performance against defined KPIs including yield, cycle time, output, and quality metrics.

2. Yield Management

• Own yield performance across all managed packages and OSAT production lines.

• Monitor yield trends, identify excursions, and lead root cause and corrective action (RCCA) processes in collaboration with OSAT process engineering teams.

• Implement and maintain statistical process control (SPC) frameworks to sustain yield at production targets.

• Drive systematic yield improvement programs through structured data analysis and OSAT engagement.

• Communicate yield status and improvement roadmaps to internal stakeholders and leadership.

3. Supplier Quality

• Support in supplier quality programs for assigned OSAT partners, including production monitoring, audit execution, and non-conformance management.

• Support Material Review Board (MRB) and Failure Review Board (FRB) activities for production escapes and non-conforming material.

• Manage corrective and preventive action (CAPA) closure with OSAT partners, tracking effectiveness and on-time resolution.

• Ensure ongoing compliance with applicable quality standards and internal policy requirements (e.g., IPC, JEDEC, AEC-Q100/Q101).

• Conduct periodic supplier quality checks and manufacturing process assessments.

4. Production Ramp Management

• Lead the ramp of new or transferred packages into high-volume production at OSAT sites, ensuring manufacturing readiness, capacity confirmation, and output targets are achieved.

• Execute run-at-rate (RAR) plans, production readiness reviews, and ramp milestone tracking.

• Coordinate cross-functionally with supply chain, test engineering, and product operations to ensure seamless ramp execution.

• Identify and resolve ramp blockers - including process, material, equipment, and capacity constraints - in a timely manner.

• Transition programs from ramp phase to stable production, establishing sustaining control and monitoring plans.

5. Supply & Capacity Management

• Partner with supply chain and operations teams to manage material availability, OSAT capacity allocation, and production scheduling.

• Identify and proactively mitigate supply risks, including capacity shortfalls, material constraints, and single-source dependencies.

• Support demand planning inputs and translate product volume requirements into actionable OSAT capacity plans.

• Support escalations related to supply shortages or delivery commitments.

6. Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Provide senior technical leadership within the packaging operations organization.

• Communicate production status, risk, and mitigation plans clearly to internal stakeholders and senior leadership.

Required Qualifications：

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline.

• 20+ years of experience in semiconductor packaging, with a strong focus on high-volume production and OSAT management.

• Deep working knowledge of semiconductor assembly and test processes (e.g., flip chip, BGA, WLP/FOWLP, QFN/QFP, SiP).

• Demonstrated experience managing production yield, quality programs, and supply continuity at OSAT partners.

• Proven track record leading production ramps from initial output through stable high-volume manufacturing.

• Proficiency in quality management methodologies including CAPA, SPC, FMEA, 8D, and MRB/FRB processes.

• Strong communication, escalation management, and cross-functional collaboration skills; ability to operate effectively across geographies and cultures.
