Job Summary

The Manufacturing Technical Program Manager (MFG TPM) leads the development, industrialization, and execution of advanced manufacturing technologies spanning wafer fabrication, innovative wire solutions, and precision alignment/assembly processes. The role owns technical program strategy, readiness milestones, and execution cadence to mature new technologies from early development through high-volume production.

Serving as a technical bridge across R&D, wafer fabs, OSATs, Manufacturing Engineering, and CMs, the MFG TPM ensures alignment between design intent, process capability, yield, and manufacturing readiness across globally distributed teams. The role combines strong wafer-fab technical understanding with disciplined program leadership and hands-on problem solving to support advanced datacenter hardware platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end technical execution of NPI programs from technology development through production ramp.

• Drive concurrent development with R&D, aligning device architecture, process flows, and manufacturing strategy.

• Lead wafer fabrication industrialization, including lithography, deposition, etch, CMP, metrology, and yield ramp.

• Define and manage technology readiness milestones, build gates, and technical risk mitigation.

• Act as the primary technical integrator and escalation point across fabs, OSATs, Manufacturing Engineering, and CMs.

• Transition technologies from pilot builds into high-volume fab and manufacturing environments.

• Establish yield learning, SPC, and control strategies and lead root cause resolution for process and reliability issues.

• Own technical change control and ensure clear, consistent communication across sites and partners.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related discipline (Master’s preferred).

• 8+ years of experience in technology development, wafer fabrication, or advanced manufacturing NPI.

• Proven experience leading wafer-level or semiconductor-based products through production ramp.

• Ability to manage complex technical programs across multiple teams, sites, and manufacturing partners.

• Experience working directly with wafer fabs, OSATs, and external manufacturing partners.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with silicon wafer fab processes (lithography, etch, deposition, CMP, metrology).

• Experience with advanced packaging or interposers.

• Familiarity with high-performance interconnects (wires, cables, connectors).

• Experience supporting datacenter, HPC, or performance-critical hardware.

Key Competencies

• Technology development and industrialization

• Wafer fab and process integration

• Technical program ownership

• Cross-functional and cross-site communication

• Yield, reliability, and manufacturability optimization
