The science of electronics is transforming exponentially through innovation and connectivity around the planet. Every day, breakthroughs are making technologies - from micro-processors, memory chips and flat panels to photovoltaic cells - even smaller and more powerful, opening up countless new possibilities in how the world lives, works and connects. Air Liquide Advanced Materials grows by enabling our customers to innovate. Our ALOHA and Voltaix products are critical to the manufacturer of the newest computer chips required for Big Data and the Internet of Things.
How will you CONTRIBUTE and GROW?The successful candidate will work in the ALAM Process Engineering team. We are primarily responsible for the process design and execution of scopes of varying magnitude across ALAM's global asset base including grass roots plants and new technology implementation to support growing needs of our customers. You will assume Process Engineering Manager role providing guidance to team members, check/approve calculations/deliverables as well as performing tasks listed below. While experience in the semiconductor electronic specialty materials related technologies is a definite advantage, the core qualification is a demonstrated ability to lead a team of Process engineers (from 5 to 10) in carrying out projects.Reporting to the Sr. Director Process Engineering, the Process Engineering Manager is responsible for providing technical leadership to ensure the control, optimization and development of existing or new processes. In addition, your role as a working team lead role is to help mentor Process Engineers by providing technical direction and guidance.
Work with Process Engineering Director to help develop direct reports by actively managing development plans and by providing clear and constructive feedback
Manage the process scope development of Pre-FEED and FEED package development in synthesis, purification and packaging of ALAM's ALOHA/VOLTAIX/ENSCRIBE product lines for optimum plant OPEX and CAPEX.
Lead, manage, develop, and mentor Lead Process Engineers who are responsible for individual product/project
Plan/forecast/track Process Engineering activity to ensure accurate completion of engineering work by you or your team.
Ensure that each Process Engineer is clear with respect to their own areas of responsibilities and associated accountabilities.
