Senior Staff Strategic Planning Specialist
On-siteChandler, Arizona, United States
Job Summary
Develop and maintain component-level demand/capacity models across semiconductor manufacturing operations, translating market and product roadmap inputs into scalable capacity requirements aligned to NPI and high-volume production timing. Create and maintain supply chain capacity profiles across internal and external manufacturing sites, identifying structural constraints early to define mitigation paths before ramp commitments. Lead constraint engineering to identify hidden systemic bottlenecks, drive data-driven root cause analysis, and own resolution from detection through closure across cross-functional teams. Build scenario-based models for surge planning and develop qualification roadmaps that align capacity availability with portfolio demand and scale requirements. Partner with Manufacturing, Engineering, Procurement, Quality, and Finance to evaluate expansion options and prioritize actions based on business impact. Establish planning assumptions, model governance, and refresh cadence to improve forecast consistency and decision quality while driving continuous improvement in modeling methods and data quality.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field
- 7+ years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, supply chain planning, or operations strategy
- Strong understanding of semiconductor fabrication and supply chain
- Experience identifying systemic bottlenecks, leading data-driven root cause analysis, and driving structural fixes across engineering, manufacturing, supplier, and capacity planning teams
- Advanced analytical and modeling skills (Excel, VCO, AI Optimization, SQL, Python, or similar tools)
- Excellent communication and presentation skills
Desired Qualifications
- MBA or Master's degree in Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain or related field
