Established in 1987 and headquartered in Taiwan, TSMC pioneered the pure-play foundry business model with an exclusive focus on manufacturing its customers’ products. In 2023, the company served 528 customers with 11,895 products for high performance computing, smartphones, IoT, automotive, and consumer electronics, and is the world’s largest provider of logic ICs with annual capacity of 16 million 12-inch equivalent wafers. TSMC operates fabs in Taiwan as well as manufacturing subsidiaries in Washington State, Japan and China, and its ESMC subsidiary plans to begin construction on a fab in Germany in 2024. In Arizona, TSMC is building three fabs, with the first starting 4nm production in 2025, the second by 2028, and the third by the end of the decade.

Intelligent Scheduling Development Department (ISDD) in TSMC's Intelligent Manufacturing Center (IMC) is responsible for the dispatch and scheduling of various TSMC fabs. It considers multiple constraints such as processes, machines, products, and waiting times, and employs three main methods:

1. Automated rules (Rule based)
2. Optimization through mathematical planning models (Model)
3. Optimization with metaheuristic algorithms (Metaheuristic)

The system determines the sequence of products that machines will produce in the future. Colleagues continuously refine the computational engine to improve solving performance and scheduling quality. They also utilize self-developed scheduling systems to help fabs adapt to various scenarios to achieve fab goals and tasks. Moreover, they constantly enhance fab production efficiency and increase wafer output by identifying and capitalizing on opportunities for improvement.
Job Responsibilities
1. Develop and maintain Scheduling / Dispatching and Manufacturing Report System.
2. Communicate with users to define requirements, design, implement, and deploy systems, and continuously improve them using software engineering methodology.
3. Design system architecture of cross department projects.
4. Lead system design review.
5. Survey and introduce new IT solutions.
Job Qualifications
1. Master degree or above majoring in Industry Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related fields.
2. Good communication skills.
3. Experience and Familiar with AI solutions such as optimization algorithms, machine learning, statistical methods, is preferred.
