What you’ll do

• Lead a team of 10+ engineers and managers who support key customers on-site.
• Act as the final escalation point for complex process issues, using root cause analysis, Design of Experiments (DOE), statistical process control (SPC) and failure analysis to drive yield improvement.
• Work with strategic customers to develop and optimise advanced packaging process flows, from process development and integration through qualification and production ramp.
• Lead technical evaluations, proof-of-concept activities and joint development programs on next-generation packaging technologies.
• Coordinate across engineering, product development, service and business teams to resolve issues fast and share learnings globally.
