Program Manager – Semiconductor Manufacturing Engineering

Summary Insulet is pursuing a strategy to license semiconductor designs and source semiconductors directly from wafer fab foundries as well as assembly and test houses. To aid in this strategy, we are seeking a highly experienced Manufacturing Program Manager.

The Program Manager of Semiconductor Manufacturing Engineering will have four main responsibilities.
1. Working closely with stakeholders in Procurement, Quality, R&D, and Global Supply Chain, this position aids in development of semiconductor manufacturing strategies to build product meeting designed performance requirements at the volumes and quality levels necessary to meet Insulet objectives.
2. In conjunction with a semiconductor design house and R&D, the Program Manager will assist with the development and tracking of test plans and control plans to ensure quality product is received. This individual will also work closely with the Senior Director, Semiconductor Manufacturing Engineering & Quality to identify sources for new test equipment and ensure spare parts are readily available for maintenance and repair activities.
3. From a supply chain perspective, the Program Manager will oversee wafer fab foundries, the wafer yield, process changes, and transition to assembly and test. The global manufacturing strategy will require this role to create and monitor purchase orders to various supply bases to ensure material availability.
4. Partner with R&D to provide input on future semiconductor designs with heavy influence in process selection, packaging and test requirements.

Additionally, the Program Manager will be a valued advisor and team member on new product development and semiconductor strategies. S/he will advise on the current state of manufacturing, assembly, testing, design and licensing. This position reports to the Senior Director, Advanced Development Procurement and is part of Insulet’s Global Supply Chain organization.
