The Allegro team is united by a clear purpose—advancing technologies that make the world safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. With over 30 years of experience in semiconductor innovation, we bring that purpose to life across every part of the business—from breakthrough product development and customer success to how we show up for each other and the communities we serve.

The Opportunity
Join Allegro MicroSystems' [Maintenance Engineering/Manufacturing Engineering] team and become a key driver of equipment reliability and operational excellence. This pivotal role offers the chance to develop and implement comprehensive Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) programs, directly impacting our production efficiency and product quality. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, from new equipment development to sustaining maintenance, to optimize machine performance, reduce downtime, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. This is an exciting opportunity to apply your engineering expertise in a dynamic manufacturing environment and contribute to Allegro's commitment to innovation and operational leadership.

What You Will Do (Key Responsibilities)

• TPM Program Development & Implementation:

• Develop and implement comprehensive TPM programs to enhance equipment reliability and efficiency.

• Lead and support the implementation of Autonomous, Planned, and Quality Maintenance programs until full integration into Sustaining Maintenance.

• Perform baseline studies of all existing machines to understand current performance levels and create/maintain detailed TPM master plans and schedules.

• Equipment Performance & Improvement:

• Focus on driving 'released equipment' performance improvements from Baseline to Benchmark (B2B) in collaboration with the Maintenance Engineering team.

• Work directly with new equipment development teams (MEqS, Dez team) on First Of Its Kind (FOIK) equipment to ensure High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) deployment readiness before handover to the Maintenance Engineering team.
• Assist in setting up spare parts, Preventive Maintenance (PM) documentation, and technical standards for new products and equipment.
• Focus on improving the design of release production equipment and integrate equipment improvement changes into the Change Control Board (CCB) process.
• Set up systems to monitor machine efficiencies, breakdowns, and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

• Lead and execute continuous improvement projects to optimize production processes.

• Audit, Documentation & Training:

• Responsible for the equipment audit process against ideal equipment configuration and validation of equipment-related Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).

• Generate detailed reports on machine performance, maintenance activities, and budget tracking.

• Conduct training sessions and toolbox meetings to build maintenance team competence.

• Collaboration & Compliance:

• Work closely with other departments to ensure maintenance activities align with overall operational goals.

• Ensure all maintenance activities comply with safety and regulatory standards.

Who You Are (Qualifications/Desired Skills)
