Responsibilities
Quality Planning:
1. Develop and maintain quality control plans, procedures, and standards for equipment manufacturing.
2. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Manufacturing, Logistics and Supply Chain) to identify and mitigate quality risks.
3. Establish and maintain quality objectives and metrics (e.g., defect rate, yield, throughput).
Quality Assurance:
1. Conduct audits and inspections to ensure compliance with quality standards (e.g., ISO 9001).
2. Monitor production processes to identify opportunities for improvement.
3. Analyze data to identify trends and root causes of quality issues.
Quality Control:
1. Develop and implement inspection protocols for equipment and components.
2. Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., SEMI, CE, UL).
3. Conduct training for QCs and Manufacturing staffs on quality procedures.
Problem-Solving and Continuous Improvement:
1. Investigate and resolve quality issues using tools like 8D, Fishbone, and Pareto analysis.
2. Implement corrective actions and preventive measures.
3. Lead or participate in continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma).
Industry-Specific Requirements:
1. Familiarity with semiconductor industry standards (SEMI, ISO 14644).
2. Knowledge of cleanroom protocols and contamination control.
3. Understanding of equipment reliability and maintainability.
Documentation and Reporting:
1. Maintain quality records and documentation
2. Prepare and submit quality reports to management.
3. Communicate quality performance to stakeholders.
Collaboration and Training:
1. Work with design engineers to ensure design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for reliability (DFR).
2. Collaborate with supplier quality engineers and suppliers to ensure quality of incoming components.
3. Provide training on quality procedures and standards.
Requirement
We are a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems and components for semiconductor capital equipment. Our product offerings include gas and chemical delivery systems and subsystems, collectively known as fluid delivery systems and subsystems, which are key elements of the process tools used in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices. Our gas delivery subsystems deliver, monitor, and control precise quantities of the specialized gases used in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as etch and deposition. Our chemical delivery systems and subsystems precisely blend and dispense the reactive liquid chemistries used in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as chemical-mechanical planarization, electroplating, and cleaning. We also provide precision-machined components, weldments, e‑beam and laser-welded components, precision vacuum and hydrogen brazing and surface treatment technologies, and other proprietary products. This vertically integrated portion of our business is primarily focused on metal and plastic parts that are used in gas and chemical systems, respectively.
We are strategically located to provide the highest level of customer service and support from our program management, sales, engineering, and executive management teams. Ichor is headquartered in Fremont, California, and we have production facilities in California, Oregon, Texas, Nevada, Minnesota, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Mexico, and the UK, staffed by our 2000+ team members.
