Global Etch Module Lead

About GF

Summary of Role:
The Global Asset Performance Team (GAP) is looking for a Global Etch Module lead to work in concert within Central Engineering and our worldwide Fabs in leading and driving improvements and standardization towards competitive cost, productivity, and quality.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Identify and drive globalcost,productivity, and qualityimprovement opportunities with our worldwide Fabs.

• Standardize and optimize procedures, measurements, approaches, and driveglobal,cross-Fabimprovements in, e.g., fault-detection/classification (FDC), test-wafer usage, and preventive-maintenance (PM) procedures.

• Be an influential global contact and leader for OneGFEtchtopics and drive meaningful dialog, resulting in the identification and implementation of best-known-methods (BKMs) across sites.

• Bring subject-matter experts (SMEs) together and drive benchmarking, brainstorming, and actions taking towards improved Module/Operations performance.

• Drive comprehensive benchmarking & gap assessments between Fabs with a structured, methodical approach, establish clear improvement strategies including help from sister Fabs, and roll-up status, progress, and plans succinctly to executive management.

• Drive standardization and optimization of key BKMs,visuals, procedures / approaches that enable us to drive faster, more efficient improvements in productivity, cost, quality across ourworldwide Etch Modules.

• Own and lead Etch tooling roadmaps in collaboration with our Fabs and Procurement/IE, to support our longer-term tooling & business strategy.

• Collaborate closely with the Fab Modules, Ops/Manufacturing, global central engineering/ GSM / IE/ Finance / Qualityteams, and any other organizations needed to improve our Fab operations.

• Be a true partner and independent arbiter to our Fabs to maximize wafer outputs with our existing assets while balancing cost and quality aspects.

• Be a role model for true OneGF interactions and the powerful impact this has on GF's bottom line.

• Work with cross function teams to address yield improvement, excursions and best practices across fabs.

• Drive CIP (Continuous improvement plans) to improve performance indices.

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements

• Work and collaborate across other projects and/or assignments as needed to improve maintenance input cost.
