Post Fab Shift Operations Manager D2

The Manufacturing Operations Manager is the single‑point owner of factory performance for an assigned shift in the East Fishkill 300mm Wafer Fab. This role is accountable for delivering safe, stable, and cost‑effective manufacturing results through decisive leadership, rigorous enforcement of standards, and end‑to‑end ownership of operational outcomes.

Unlike traditional supervisory roles, the Shift Manager is expected to define problems, make decisions, mobilize resources, and drive issues to resolution, not simply identify and escalate them. Success in this role requires strong judgment, operational discipline, and the ability to lead effectively through complexity while balancing safety, quality, delivery, and cost in real time.

Each shift under this role’s leadership is expected to leave the factory in a measurably stronger operating position, with improved stability, reduced risk, and clear ownership of any remaining issues.

• •Own and deliver shift‑level performance results across equipment uptime, throughput, quality, cycle time, and cost.

• •Factory status and performance versus target
• •Open risks and degraded conditions
• •Ownership and next actions for unresolved issues

• •Drive consistent use of metrics, standard work, and accountability mechanisms to improve factory performance.
• •Demonstrate strong cost awareness in daily decisions, including labor efficiency, downtime, scrap, and rework.
• •Challenge recurring issues, workarounds, and inefficiencies; push for systemic fixes rather than short‑term containment.
• •Reinforce a mindset that every shift contributes to improving the factory’s long‑term capability, not just meeting today’s output.
