RMS Technical Expert - OSAT

Role Summary

The RMS Technical Expert will be responsible for the design, deployment, and optimization of Reliability Monitoring Systems in an OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly & Test) manufacturing environment. This role requires deep technical expertise in equipment data acquisition, reliability analytics, system integration, and continuous improvement of RMS to support yield, quality, and equipment performance targets.

Key Responsibilities

1. System Development & Maintenance

Configure, customize, and maintain the RMS platform to capture, process, and analyze equipment health and performance data.

Develop and optimize RMS data models, rules, and alerts for proactive maintenance and reliability improvement.

Work with automation engineers to ensure accurate equipment connectivity via SECS / GEM, OPC-UA, MQTT, or other protocols.

2. Integration & Data Flow Management

Integrate RMS with MES, SPC, FDC, and other manufacturing systems for end-to-end visibility.

Ensure data quality, accuracy, and real-time availability for engineering and operations teams.

Collaborate with IT teams for database management, server optimization, and cybersecurity compliance.

3. Reliability & Performance Analytics

Develop dashboards, reports, and analytical tools to monitor equipment reliability KPIs (MTBF, MTTR, OEE).

Use RMS insights to recommend and implement preventive / corrective actions to improve tool uptime and process stability.

Partner with process and maintenance engineers to translate RMS data into actionable reliability programs.

4. Continuous Improvement & Innovation

Drive enhancements in RMS through advanced analytics, AI / ML models, and predictive maintenance algorithms.

Identify opportunities to automate RMS workflows and reporting.

Benchmark RMS performance against industry best practices in semiconductor manufacturing.
