- Experience with APS – providing vision and architectural leadership to support factory loading and output activities – creating and managing models, scenarios and scorecard assessments. Preferred system is Kinaxis RapidResponse / Maestro, but we are also willing to consider other APS experiences. Focus will be on the usage, leveraging and expanding the capabilities of these systems, including gathering of requirements and proposing solutions that prioritize effectively the return on effort.
- Experience working within the complexities of a semiconductor company including PCBAs, SOCs, multi die packages, test flows, binning and yields, and process variants. Experience should include working with a supply chain that relies upon subcontracted manufacturing support, with a significant focus on Assembly/Test and Platform development
- Hands-on experience with planning products, specifically within the realm of S&OP, able to clearly conduct capacity analysis, supply demand matching, scenario design and review, and clear concise recommendations comprehending impacts and risks.
- Ability to translate operational parameters into business objectives measured in KPI metrics within an APS system.
- History of articulating complex data into easy-to-understand business visualizations.
- Deep understanding the integrated nature of Process, People and Tools to enable effective work output for any system – and the ability to document and communicate them effectively
- Strong teamwork / partnership approach to solving business problems is required to execute this work
- As is expected in an NPI/Engineering environment, there must be a demonstrated ability to tolerate ambiguity, demonstrate an ability to problem solve in high velocity change environment and balance the need to “harden” our processes while maintaining the speed of change needed to respond to ever changing business and technical needs.
