Summary

As the Senior Manager of Front-End Manufacturing Engineering, you will lead the strategic alignment between early-stage product design and mass-production manufacturability for next-generation
products and technologies. This role bridges the gap between top-tier chip design partners, internal Hardware engineering teams, and Manufacturing sites. You will be responsible for leading and scaling a team of high-performing engineers, driving SMT and Assembly Process Development to meet technology development roadmaps, mitigating technical risks via the NUDD framework, and ensuring seamless execution from concept to product qualification.

Detailed Description

1. People Management Team Leadership 

• Talent Development & Mentorship: Directly manage, coach, and mentor a team of Front-End Manufacturing Engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous professional growth. 
• Performance Management: Establish clear individual and team KPIs, conduct regular performance evaluations, and build tailored career development paths.
• Resource Planning & Allocation: Oversee team workload, headcount planning, and resource distribution to effectively support multiple parallel hardware development projects and operational timelines. 
• Technical Oversight: Act as an escalation point to provide technical guidance, helping team members resolve complex engineering and manufacturing bottlenecks.

2. Early Engagement & DFx Strategy

• Design for Excellence: Lead and participate in comprehensive DFM/DFx reviews, providing technical solutions and mitigations to resolve manufacturing risks before design freeze.
• Co-Design Partner: Engage with design teams and architects in the early design phases to align component specifications with cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities. 
• Ecosystem Partnership: Drive early-stage technology co-development and Level 2 qualification efforts with critical third-party partners and manufacturing sites.

3. Risk Mitigation & Technical Analysis (NUDD)

• NUDD Framework Execution: Evaluate New, Unique, Different, and Difficult (NUDD) processes against strict product technology requirements to identify potential yield and reliability detractors.
• Quality & Controls: Drive golden pFMEAs and define Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) parameters across new product lines.
• Failure Analysis: Interpret complex hardware product features and Failure Analysis (FA) results to generate comprehensive engineering and root-cause reports.
