Job Summary:    

The Senior Production Supervisor is a working leadership role responsible for directing day-to-day semiconductor manufacturing operations across assigned production areas. Positioned between front-line supervision and Production Management, this role provides operational oversight and accountability for output quality, personnel performance, schedule adherence, process compliance, and continuous improvement. The Senior Production Supervisor serves as the primary escalation point for production floor issues, drives adherence to standardized operating procedures, and develops a culture of accountability and technical excellence within the team.

  • Direct and coordinate production operations across assigned clean-room manufacturing areas including, but not limited to, wafer fabrication, singulation, assembly, plating, and related backend processes. 

  • Establish and communicate daily and weekly production targets based on master schedules and material availability; adjust priorities in real time to maintain output commitments. 

  • Monitor work-in-process (WIP) flow and identify bottlenecks; implement corrective actions to sustain throughput and on-time delivery to downstream operations. 

  • Review production performance data, efficiency metrics, and yield indicators; report results to Production Management and initiate improvement actions where performance gaps exist. 

  • Ensure proper setup, operation, and handoff of production equipment across shifts; coordinate with equipment engineering / maintenance / facilities on preventive maintenance scheduling to minimize downtime. 

Scheduling & Production Planning Support  |  20% 

  • Collaborate with Planning teams to align shop-floor activities with master schedules, capacity constraints, and material availability. 

  • Participate in production planning meetings; provide floor-level input on labor capacity, equipment readiness, and process constraints to support accurate scheduling. 

  • Track and report production progress against schedule; communicate risks and recovery plans to Production Management in a timely manner. 

  • Support the review and execution of shop traveler packets, work orders, and parts lists to ensure proper sequencing and prioritization of production activity. 

Quality Systems & Process Compliance  |  20% 

  • Enforce adherence to all applicable operating procedures (OPs), control plans, and process specifications; escalate deviations through the nonconformance reporting (NCR/NCMR) process. 

  • Conduct and support spot audits on production processes to verify procedural compliance and document findings in accordance with WIF-GEN-23-SCI and related audit frameworks.
