Role Description

Operations Research and Foundry Systems Architecture is a technical leader responsible for applying advanced optimization and decision science methods to semiconductor foundry operations, while also serving as a senior architect and program leader for manufacturing, planning, and supply chain systems. This role bridges OR modeling, manufacturing operations, and enterprise systems to deliver scalable, reliable, and automated decision platforms that drive fab performance and customer commitments.

Responsibilities

• Operations Research and Foundry Optimization
  • Define OR strategy across fab operations, supply chain, and customer planning organizations.
  • Design and deploy advanced optimization, stochastic, and simulation models for:
    • Fab capacity planning and wafer start optimization
    • Tool utilization, bottleneck identification, and cycletime reduction
    • Yield, variability, and lot scheduling optimization
    • WIP and inventory buffering across fab, assembly, and test
    • Customer demand allocation, prioritization, and SLA tradeoffs
    • Long leadtime planning, node ramps, and technology transitions
    • Supply chain disruption, risk, and resiliency modeling
• Program Leadership and Systems Architecture
  • Act as technical architect and senior program leader for OR driven planning and manufacturing systems.
  • Define end-to-end architecture for planning, scheduling, and decision support platforms, including:
    • MES, APS, ERP, and supply chain planning systems
    • Digital twins, simulation environments, and optimization engines
    • Data pipelines, modeling platforms, and analytics layers
  • Lead multiyear, cross functional programs to integrate OR models into production systems.
  • Establish modeling, data, and system integration standards to ensure scalability, performance, and maintainability.
  • Partner with IT, automation, and manufacturing systems teams to drive adoption and operationalization.
• Executive Influence and Technical Stewardship
  • Translate complex analytical and system level tradeoffs into clear, actionable insights for fab and executive leadership.
  • Influence capital investment, capacity expansion, customer commitments, and technology roadmaps.
  • Mentor senior engineers and architects; elevate analytical, architectural, and delivery excellence across the organization.

Qualifications

• PhD or Master's degree in Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 12+ years of experience delivering production-grade OR solutions in semiconductor manufacturing or foundry environments.
• Deep expertise in optimization, stochastic modeling, simulation, and queueing systems.
• Strong programming background (e.g., Python, C++) and experience with commercial solvers (e.g., Gurobi, CPLEX).
• Proven experience as a technical program leader or systems architect for complex manufacturing, planning, or supply chain IT systems.
• Hands-on experience with fabs, foundry operations, or advanced manufacturing supply chains.
