Senior Analyst, Manufacturing IT

Job Title

Senior Analyst, Manufacturing IT

Role Summary

The Senior Analyst, Manufacturing IT develops, integrates, and supports equipment-connected and real-time software that executes production on the factory floor. The role ensures reliable, automated production flow, accurate manufacturing data capture, and high uptime in a 24x7 semiconductor manufacturing environment while collaborating with process, test, and equipment engineering.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Requires 3+ years of relevant experience in manufacturing, equipment-connected, or real-time systems; semiconductor experience preferred.

Responsibilities

Primary duties include:

• Develop, configure, and support real-time manufacturing systems that connect production equipment to MES and factory data platforms (cell controllers, equipment interfaces, recipe management, data collection, material-tracking).
• Implement and maintain equipment integration using SECS/GEM and related tool-communication standards to ensure reliable handshakes, recipe downloads, and event/data capture.
• Troubleshoot and resolve production-impacting incidents on live equipment and automation systems to restore flow quickly and drive root-cause fixes.
• Build and maintain automation to reduce manual operator actions (tool automation, data pushers, log-file collection, barcode/material-tracking flows).
• Partner with process, test, and equipment engineering to onboard new tools and validate integrations meet production and quality requirements.
• Ensure accurate capture of manufacturing and test data (lot, wafer, unit, recipe, event, STDF/test-summary) for engineering, yield, and quality analysis.
• Follow controlled change, testing, and release discipline for production systems to maintain traceability and protect fab uptime.
• Support cybersecurity, SOX, and data-governance requirements for fab-floor and equipment-connected systems.

Requirements

Minimum qualifications and technical skills:

• 3+ years developing or supporting manufacturing, equipment-connected, or real-time systems; semiconductor wafer fab or assembly/test operations preferred.
• Working knowledge of equipment integration and automation frameworks (SECS/GEM, cell controllers, message buses, or equivalent), including recipe, event, and data collection flows.
• Hands-on software development and scripting experience; able to read, debug, and extend existing application and integration code.
• Strong SQL skills for querying and analyzing manufacturing and tool data in relational databases.
• Understanding of semiconductor manufacturing concepts such as WIP, lots, wafers, probe/trim, test flows, and basic yield/DPPM concepts.
• Ability to operate in a live 24x7 production environment, balancing rapid incident response with disciplined change control.
• Availability for first-shift/daytime operations and willingness to travel up to 10%.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
