Job Description

Job Requirements

Summary

We are seeking an experienced Data Architect to design and govern data architecture for a large-scale Semiconductor Equipment Data Analysis Platform. The platform handles high-volume equipment data--including process logs, alarm logs, event logs, and operational time-series data--generated by advanced semiconductor manufacturing tools such as plasma etch equipment with multiple chambers.



The Data Architect will be responsible for defining data models, data organization, partitioning strategies, and analytical data structures that enable efficient exploratory data analysis (EDA), AI/ML workflows, and business intelligence dashboards.



This role works closely with process engineers, data scientists, ETL engineers, and platform architects, ensuring that complex equipment data is transformed into analytics-ready, high-quality datasets usable by non-programmer domain experts. This is a hands-on architectural role requiring deep expertise in modern data platforms, large-scale time-series data, and analytical data modeling, preferably in semiconductor manufacturing or other industrial environments.

Objectives

Design a scalable, analytics-ready data architecture for high-volume semiconductor equipment data. Enable self-service exploratory data analysis for process engineers and domain experts. Define data modeling and partitioning strategies that support chamber-level and equipment-level analytics. Ensure data quality, consistency, and governance across the data lifecycle. Support AI/ML and statistical modeling through well-designed datasets and metadata. Optimize data storage, query performance, and long-term retention.

Responsibilities

Design logical and physical data models for equipment, chamber, process, recipe, and time-series data. Define naming conventions, data organization, and dataset structures aligned with analytics use cases. Define data partitioning strategies (e.g., by equipment, chamber, date, process step, recipe). Balance query performance, storage efficiency, and retention requirements. Define strategies for schema evolution and backward compatibility.
