Manufacturing Operator - Module Packaging

About the role

Chipstone Electronics is building and ramping up a module-packaging operation in Singapore. As a Production Operator you will operate production equipment, handle materials and inspect products throughout the manufacturing process, which is closer to semiconductor back-end, smart-card and secure-module manufacturing and electronics assembly than to front-end wafer fabrication. The role reports to the Operations Lead.

Key responsibilities

• Operate module-packaging, assembly, inspection and testing equipment according to approved work instructions.
• Load and unload materials and ensure the correct materials, tooling and production settings are used.
• Monitor equipment and production conditions, perform basic checks, cleaning and routine operator maintenance, and escalate alarms or abnormal conditions promptly.
• Carry out visual and in-process inspections, identify and separate defective or non-conforming items, and record output, rejections, downtime, material usage and inspection results.
• Maintain lot, batch and material traceability, perform line clearances and changeovers, and handle raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods carefully.
• Follow cleanroom, gowning, ESD and contamination-control requirements, workplace safety procedures and good housekeeping and 5S standards.
• Support trial production, process validation and ramp-up, and work with the Shift Supervisor, Quality, Process and Equipment teams to resolve production issues.

Required profile

• Experience operating automated production equipment or conducting visual inspection is an advantage; candidates without direct module-packaging experience may be considered if they have relevant manufacturing experience and are willing to learn.
• Able to follow work instructions, safety procedures and quality requirements carefully.
• Comfortable working in a cleanroom and wearing protective clothing.
• Able to do repetitive precision work, detailed visual inspection and accurate production records and system entries.
• Willing to work rotating day/night 12-hour shifts (4-3-3-4 rotation) including nights, weekends and public holidays.
• Reliable, safety-conscious and attentive to detail.
