Job Description

NPI Engineering Section Manager – Mold Process

Location: Chachoengsao

Industry: Semiconductor Manufacturing

About the Role

Our client, a
leading semiconductor manufacturing company, is seeking an experienced NPI
Engineering Section Manager to lead its Mold Process team.

The current team
consists of two engineers and two technicians. This position requires a
combination of people leadership and hands-on technical expertise across
transfer molding, De-junk, and Trim & Form processes, particularly for QFN,
TSSOP, and SOIC semiconductor packages.

You will lead new
product evaluation and qualification activities, establish robust process
windows, resolve complex quality issues, and strengthen the team's overall
technical capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and develop a team of
  NPI engineers and technicians.
• Manage new product
  introduction activities for molding, De-junk, and Trim & Form
  processes.
• Plan and lead DOE activities
  to evaluate molding parameters and establish robust process windows.
• Ensure new products and
  manufacturing processes meet technical specifications, quality
  requirements, and qualification standards.
• Lead process verification and
  optimization activities for transfer molding, De-junk, and Trim &
  Form.
• Troubleshoot complex
  manufacturing, process, and product-quality issues.
• Identify process risks and
  ensure appropriate mitigation plans are developed and reviewed.
• Drive corrective actions and
  ensure timely and effective closure.
• Monitor process yield,
  material loss, quality performance, and project progress.
• Ensure project milestones,
  DOE plans, evaluations, and product qualifications are completed according
  to schedule.
• Provide technical direction,
  coaching, and hands-on support to engineers and technicians.
• Work closely with Production,
  Quality, Equipment Engineering, Customer Engineering, and other
  cross-functional teams.
• Support customer technical
  discussions involving process explanations, verification results, and
  problem-solving updates.
• Support customer and internal
  audits when technical input is required.
• Communicate departmental
  objectives, company goals, and performance expectations to the team.
• Ensure team members follow
  company policies, procedures, and safety requirements.

Mold and Tooling Responsibilities

The successful
candidate is not expected to independently complete the detailed design of the
mold chase or tooling.

However, the
position will be responsible for:

• Defining mold and tooling
  requirements.
• Reviewing mold designs
  developed by equipment or tooling suppliers.
• Assessing technical and
  process risks associated with tooling designs.
• Providing technical
  recommendations for tooling improvements.
• Planning and leading
  mold-to-process evaluation and optimization activities.
• Working closely with
  suppliers to ensure tooling meets process and product requirements.

Key Performance Indicators

Success in this
position will be measured through:

• Achievement of project
  milestones.
• Timely completion of DOE
  plans and qualification activities.
• Process yield and
  material-loss performance.
• Timely identification and
  review of process risks.
• Effectiveness and timely
  closure of corrective actions.
• Responsiveness to customer
  technical issues.
• Support for customer and
  internal audits.
• Team leadership and technical
  capability development.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree
  in Engineering, Semiconductor Physics, Materials Science, or a related
  field.
• At least eight years of
  experience in semiconductor back-end assembly.
• Strong hands-on experience
  with molding processes or closely related semiconductor assembly
  processes.
• Experience with transfer
  molding, De-junk, and Trim & Form processes.
• Technical experience with
  QFN, TSSOP, and SOIC semiconductor packages.
• Experience with new product
  introduction, process evaluation, DOE, process qualification, and
  process-window development.
• Strong troubleshooting,
  root-cause analysis, and corrective-action experience.
• Ability to review mold and
  tooling designs and provide practical technical recommendations.
• Previous experience leading
  engineers and technicians.
• Strong analytical,
  decision-making, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Good written and spoken
  English.
• Ability to collaborate
  effectively with Production, Quality, Equipment Engineering, customers,
  and external suppliers.
