About the role
Position Summary: The Planner is responsible for coordinating and executing production planning activities that support day-to-day manufacturing operations within the semiconductor facility. This role translates demand forecasts and capacity data into actionable production schedules, monitors work-in-progress flow, and adjusts plans to address material constraints, equipment availability, and shifting priorities. The Planner collaborates closely with manufacturing, engineering, quality, and supply chain teams to balance throughput, cycle time, and on-time delivery targets. Success in this role requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to make sound, data-driven decisions in a fast-paced, technically demanding environment.

Develop and maintain production schedules for assigned manufacturing areas based on demand forecasts, capacity constraints, and inventory targets
•
Monitor work-in-progress (WIP) levels and production flow to identify bottlenecks, delays, or capacity imbalances
•
Adjust schedules in response to equipment downtime, material shortages, engineering holds, or priority changes
•
Coordinate with manufacturing, engineering, quality, and materials teams to resolve scheduling conflicts and align on priorities
•
Track key performance metrics such as cycle time, on-time delivery, output, and utilization; report variances and recommend corrective actions
•
Maintain accurate data within planning and ERP/MES systems, ensuring schedules reflect current production status
•
Support inventory management by coordinating raw material, WIP, and finished goods levels with planning targets
•
Participate in daily/weekly production meetings to communicate schedule status and escalate risks
•
Identify opportunities to improve planning processes, tools, and communication across shifts and teams
•
Support new product introductions, engineering lot planning, and capacity ramp activities as needed
