Quality Supplier (Chemical/ Manufacturing)

Key Responsibilities

Supplier Quality Management

• Own supplier qualification, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement for Korea- and Japan-based component suppliers.
• Conduct supplier audits, process assessments, and risk evaluations using industry standards (SEMI, ISO9001, IATF, etc.).
• Lead 8D, SCAR, containment, and root-cause investigations for supplier-caused quality issues.

Component & Process Expertise

• Evaluate and approve manufacturing processes for:
• MFCs, valves, regulators, gas sticks
• Heaters, sensors, filters, o‑rings, elastomers
• Chemical delivery assemblies and UHP components
• Review supplier drawings, specifications, PFMEAs, control plans, and process capability data.
• Ensure cleanliness, leak integrity, and performance per SEMI standards (e.g., SEMI F20, F57, F38, F104, etc.).

Technical Support & Collaboration

• Support new product introduction (NPI) by collaborating with R&D, design engineering, and manufacturing engineering teams.
• Provide onsite technical leadership for supplier process improvements, equipment upgrades, yield improvements, and contamination reduction.
• Partner with internal quality, procurement, and operations teams to ensure flawless supplier execution.

Compliance & Standards

• Ensure supplier manufacturing and materials are compliant with relevant SEMI, UHP, and high‑purity chemical delivery standards.
• Lead risk mitigation activities, including PCAs, FMEAs, MSA, and process capability improvement metrics.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field.
• 5+ years experience in supplier quality, manufacturing engineering, or process engineering within semiconductor or high‑purity industries.
• Hands‑on experience with MFCs, valves, regulators, heaters, o‑rings/elastomers, or UHP fluid systems.
• Strong understanding of SEMI standards, cleanliness requirements, and contamination controls.
• Professional English.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of chemical delivery modules, gas delivery systems, GC panels, or TIG-welded UHP assemblies.
• Competence in quality tools: 8D, SPC, MSA, APQP, PPAP, DOE, FMEA.
• Experience with supplier development and improving process robustness/throughput.
