As a Process Platforms Manager, you will: Shape and advance Micronova’s shared pilot-line process platforms to meet the evolving needs of microelectronics, photonics, and quantum technology development. Thisposition combines technical leadershipandplatform architectureownership.As the technical owner ofMicronova’scommon pilot-line process platform architecture, including process modules, qualification approaches, design-enablement practices and platform,governance, you will work closely with research teams to support process platform developmentand the transition of research technologies into scalable pilot-line capabilities.

It focuses on platform-level architecture,qualificationand design enablement, while ownership of individual process modules,



baselinerecipes,and day-to-day process developmentremainswithin the technology and process engineering teams. You will act as a key technical bridge between process engineers, designers, metrology specialists, pilot-line development teams and the Data Management Lead, ensuring that platform capabilities, qualification practices,documentationand data structures evolve coherently across technology domains. The role also acts as a technical gatekeeper for platform maturity, processqualification,and PDK readiness.

The position is part of the FABorganization, reports to the FAB Director and leads a small team of metrology and process quality specialists while driving the development ofMicronova’scommon pilot-line process platforms. Define and evolve common pilot-line platform architectures, qualificationapproachesand capability roadmaps across technology domains. Drive the development of design-enablement capabilities and qualification frameworks supporting scalable technology transfer and pilot-line deployment.

Own the development and harmonization ofMicronovapilot-line operational and business processes. Define common operating models, governancestructuresand process frameworks across technology domains. Drive platform readiness, capability lifecyclemanagementand continuous improvement.

Establish common practices for quality, traceability, datamanagementand performance monitoring. Support scalable pilot-line operations, technologytransferand customer-oriented service delivery.
