Diodes is seeking a Manufacturing (MAKE) IT Engineer be part of a Manufacturing IT Development Centre located at Diodes’ site in Greenock, Scotland.

The role of the Manufacturing IT Engineer is key in developing, enhancing and maintaining solutions to improve the operational effectiveness of Diodes’ manufacturing sites.

The Manufacturing IT Engineer role is primarily to develop software directed at automating the manufacturing operation thus making it more productive while eliminating opportunities for yield loss.

Development typically centres on Equipment Automation, Fault Detection and Classification, Maintenance, Dispatch rule management and Yield Management applications.

Primarily the software developed will interact with the manufacturing equipment to ensure the right lot is processed, the lot receives the right recipe, the person processing the lot is correctly certified and the manufacturing systems e.g. the MES, Maintenance, etc are updated timeously.

The successful candidate will report to MAKE IT management.

Key expectations of a MAKE IT Engineer are

An understanding of manufacturing and the IT solutions to enable development of an appropriate solution to meet the needs of the business.

Development skills to write and reuse software and to interface effectively with other software systems. A core part of the role will be in developing automation solutions for equipment to interact with manufacturing equipment, with dispatch, with recipe management, with maintenance, with the site’s manufacturing execution system and 3^rd party solutions

Development skills will require an understanding of the operation of equipment to capture real-time data from to facilitate processing interdiction and drive appropriate responses.

Drive and innovation to develop and deliver new solutions to meet an evolving manufacturing automation environment. The role is one which focusses on continually delivering incremental improvement.

Enhance, develop and deploy solutions across multiple systems in support of manufacturing, e.g. maintenance, non-conforming material and engineering analysis.

To be able to quickly problem solve in a diverse manufacturing environment to ensure continuity of the manufacturing operation and when problems do arise to seek solutions to prevent reoccurrence.

To identify opportunities for simplification of the environment and communicate effectively the benefits of the opportunities.

An ability to listen and communicate effectively to deliver solutions meeting the needs of manufacturing, equipment engineering, process engineering and IT.

An ability to work as an individual, as most activities require the software development of an equipment station controller from concept to delivery, and as part of a team to ensure an effective solution is provided.

An ability to learn and develop is an essential as manufacturing needs and solutions will change over the next 5 years.

Development of a business continuity approach for manufacturing solutions.

A MAKE IT Engineer will typically develop software for controlling a manufacturing tool using a common framework to do the following:

To develop checks to ensure the equipment is ready to operate successfully

To select the correct manufacturing process to enable a production run
- Communicating with the tool normally using GEM/SECS communication

Capturing run time data from the equipment

Testing and verify that the solution works successfully to ensure that the solution is fit for purpose for a 24x7 operation
