Business Process Architect

Job Overview:

Pay Range: $75.00hr - $80.00hr

Requirement/Must Have:

• Deep APG MES Platform & Architecture Expertise.
• Strong understanding of the APG 300Works MES architecture and its core components.
• In-depth knowledge of server-side business rules, dispatching and RTD (Real-Time Dispatch), AMA rules engine, and communication services and Pulsar messaging framework.
• Ability to evaluate and influence the use of standard MES capabilities versus custom Lab MES extensions.
• Comprehensive understanding of MES concepts, including lot travelers, recipe management, dispatching logic, and manufacturing execution workflows.
• Hands-on experience with MCS (Material Control System) and MES integration patterns.
• Strong understanding of host-to-equipment communication interfaces, stocker and conveyor integrations, SECS/GEM and EDA communication protocols, and event-driven architectures utilizing Pulsar messaging and carrier state updates.
• Strong technical expertise in semiconductor manufacturing data models, including carrier (FOUP) management, lot tracking, and slot-level material integrity.
• Experience ensuring data consistency and synchronization across MES and external applications.
• Strong understanding of MES integration within the broader APG ecosystem, including AMA (Automation Management Architecture), RTD (Real-Time Dispatch), TME, and other manufacturing applications.
• Experience orchestrating end-to-end manufacturing workflows across process operations, metrology systems, and material handling and movement systems.
• Expertise in defining and monitoring latency Service Level Agreements (SLAs), system throughput and scalability requirements, and API reliability and availability metrics.
• Experience defining production readiness criteria, including performance benchmarks, monitoring and observability standards, and reliability and resilience requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Design and define MCS-triggered workflows and synchronization models between Lab MES, MCS, and WFM systems.
• Develop integration strategies ensuring seamless material movement and process execution.
• Define and govern data contracts, integration standards, and synchronization guarantees for critical events such as carrier updates and material movements.
• Maintain end-to-end material traceability and data accuracy.
• Manage cross-system dependencies, exception handling, and integration failure scenarios.
• Take technical ownership of MES integration performance and operational reliability.
• Establish robust integration frameworks incorporating error handling mechanisms, retry strategies, and fallback and recovery procedures.
• Drive complex integration initiatives from design through production deployment.

Nice to Have:

• Proven experience in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) within semiconductor manufacturing environments.
• Strong knowledge of factory automation, material control systems, and equipment integration.
• Experience with event-driven architectures and distributed messaging platforms.
• Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
