What is special about working at Infineon?

Infineon creates resilient leaders with a high level of leadership competency.

What are your main tasks?

My main task is to drive and periodically review a systematic framework for our equipment including the execution environment. This includes equipment preventive maintenance, equipment qualification, equipment improvement, equipment automation, equipment in-situ advanced control, and engineer/technician competency.

What are the results of your work?

As Equipment Engineering Senior Manager, I work closely with the production and engineering teams of experts. My daily focus is on equipment stability. The aim is to reduce unscheduled downtime (UD), increase mean time to assist (MTBA), and fully optimize the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The OEE includes metrics such as unscheduled downtime, scheduled downtime and standby, and equipment speed (UPH).

What are your job highlights?

Governing and driving a clear and systematic framework for our equipment together with resilient team members from the equipment engineering and sustaining teams enables us to team up and achieve the best results as measured with equipment indicators such as unscheduled machine downtime and machine alarm reduction.

What are your biggest challenges?

As Infineon is very big, it can be time-consuming to search for the right function or the right people to align on specific topics. Especially for a newbie, this can be even harder.

If you could go back five years, what advice would you give your younger self?

Stay focused and stay motivated.
