The Planning Engineer is responsible for ensuring on-time delivery of customer orders through effective collaboration with Supply Chain, Central Planning, and Manufacturing teams. This role manages material planning for production builds, performs capacity studies, and drives optimization of loading plans to maximize output. Success requires strong analytical skills, cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to manage dynamic customer requirements while maintaining operational efficiency.

Main Responsibilities:

Customer Delivery & Order Fulfillment

• Ensure on-time delivery for all production orders.

• Collaborate with Supply Chain to understand customer requirements and fulfill ad-hoc upside requests.

• Work with Central Planning to optimize network loading and meet customer order commitments.

Material Planning for Production Builds

• Partner with material planners to ensure sufficient materials for execution, including engineering requests and normal demand.

• Coordinate with Supply Chain and Central Planning to secure wafer supply

Capacity Planning & Optimization

• Plan, study, and analyze weekly capacity feasibility with Industrial Engineering (IE) for regular and ad-hoc customer requests.

• Optimize loading to maximize assembly output.

• Collaborate with Manufacturing on tactical horizon planning for immediate weeks.

Production Build Execution

• Work with Process Engineers on special engineering lead lot build requirements.

• Ensure production builds start with correct process flow and preparation.

• Plan and coordinate with production teams to start planned orders on time.

• Identify efficiency gaps and propose improvement solutions.

Scheduling Probe Jobs

• Optimize job combinations (bins, repair densities, final param) to use system resources efficiently.

• Implement dashboards and alerts for early detection of probe-related issues.

• Coordinate with engineering teams to resolve discrepancies in probe results.

Other Responsibilities:

• Participate in area projects and improvement initiatives to enhance planning processes.

• Support continuous improvement and cost optimization efforts.

Job Requirements/Qualification/ Selection Criteria:
