Roles & Responsibilities
Laboratory (ICP-MS, VPD, and LPD)

1. Implementation of chemical and/or physical testing techniques and standard operating procedures.
2. Responsible for new instrument installation, new method development, and validation of methods.
3. Plans testing capacities according to internal and external requirements.
4. Conduct investigations and report any deviations of laboratory measurements.
5. Draws up quarterly, monthly, and specialized reports according to working documents for the analytic chemistry and/or measuring methods.
6. Supports problem solving in production lines by recommending appropriate internal & external laboratory techniques.
7. Coordinates correlation and round robin projects in all sites for the analytics and/or measuring methods.
8. Train/mentor Manufacturing Assistants, Technicians, and Engineers through OJT and continually upgrade their technical skills to support laboratory efficiency.

Global Contamination Management

1. Governs and sustains overall cleanroom environment control to ensure products are processed under intended cleanliness levels.
2. Drives shop-floor cleanroom compliance and discipline on cleanroom engineering matters; escalates and takes actions for any CR non-compliance/violation.
3. Governs and enforces cleanroom work procedures as per stipulated by FM.
4. Cluster IE such as cleanroom cleaning, machine move-in/out, changing room & workplace design.
5. Key interface between support function and production on cleanroom engineering matters.
6. Annual budget planning and controlling on various cleanroom environment monitoring tests.

Quality & Safety
