Quality System Management Engineer
Manage quality audits, SPC systems, and engineering changes supporting N4, N3, and N2 semiconductor fab operations.
About the role
As a Quality System Management Engineer at TSMC Arizona, you will lead efforts to ensure robust quality systems, statistical process control, and change control systems are implemented across semiconductor fab operations. The site's manufacturing footprint encompasses N4, N3, and N2 process technologies.
What you'll do
- Lead and coordinate internal and external audits, including third-party quality system certifications, customer audits, and internal compliance assessments.
- Ensure local operations comply with corporate quality standards and drive continuous improvement initiatives such as internal Quality Symposiums.
- Utilize structured methodologies (PDCA, 8D, 3-Leg 5-Why, Kepner-Tregoe) to resolve complex technical and operational challenges and deliver training on these tools.
- Review engineering changes to ensure procedural compliance and evaluate their impact on product quality and reliability.
- Develop and strengthen Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems, process capability (Cpk) monitoring, and audit procedures to maintain manufacturing consistency.
- Apply statistical analysis and data-driven methods to identify trends, resolve systemic issues, and optimize manufacturing processes.
What you'll need
- Master’s degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Industrial Engineering, or a related STEM field (or a Bachelor's degree in the same fields with 2 years of relevant experience in quality systems engineering, quality auditing, or SPC/statistical analysis in a manufacturing environment).
- Strong working knowledge of QC/problem-solving tools (8D, 5-Why), Six Sigma methodologies, and SPC procedures.
- Proven expertise in Design of Experiments (DOE) methods for process optimization.
- Demonstrated ability to evaluate and implement engineering changes while maintaining rigorous reliability standards.
- Ability to work inside a cleanroom environment in full cleanroom PPE (bunny suit, gloves, safety glasses, face covering), stand/walk for up to 2 hours during fab audits, lift up to 15 lbs, and work on-site in Phoenix, Arizona.
Nice to have
- Prior experience in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
- Relevant certifications: Lean Six Sigma Green/Black Belt, ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or VDA 6.3 auditor certifications.
- Proficiency in statistical programming and data tools such as JMP, R, Python, Power BI, or RPA tools.

How we counted: 530 open Reliability Engineering (Reliability Engineering) roles from 78 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 12 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Process, Fab & Equipment family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
