Shift Engineer

Summary

• • Silicon Preparation Unit (SPU) consists of two sections Recycle Silicon Section (RSS) & Pre-Growth Section (PGS)
• • The purpose of Recycle Silicon Section is to recycle the silicon generated in-process.
• • The purpose of Pre-Growth Section is to prepare the Master Dopant, Prepare Crucibles for Growing Section, Prepare Charging Hoppers for Growing Section
• • Silicon Recycle Section has two subsections Crushing & Cleaning.
• • Pre-growth Section has two subsections Crucible Charge Dopant Management & Hopper Charging
• • The typical nature of ops to be managed in SPU are Manpower Management (Full Time Employee & Temps), Manual / Semi Auto / Auto Operations, Material Handling (Poly Silicon, Recycle Silicon, Crucibles, Crushers, Wet & Dry Cleaners of Silicon, ASRS (automated storage and retrieval system), MES (Manufacturing Execution System), Weighing, Technical Calculations of Dopant based on approved Model, Conveyors, Pumps, Drive Trains, Utilities, etc.
• • The Shift Engineer will be placed either in Recycle Silicon Section or in Pre-Growth Section. In the long run its expected that the person grooms himself for leading shifts of both the sections.

Important Note

• • Since It’s a start up plant, its expected from the person to stretch beyond normal working hours (as and when required), to resolve teething issues related to start up , & perform troubleshooting
