Job Overview
Principal Engineers independently solve complex engineering problems, coach colleagues, and drive best practices to improve department efficiency. They think strategically, formulate mid- and long-term goals, mentor team members, optimise workflows and manage risk.

As the face of the department, they foster communication and connections for cross-functional collaboration to drive innovative ideas, and achieve goals. Proactively identify high impact issues, such as product performance improvement and process optimization. They use professional methodologies to study and develop test subjects, coach others to present results clearly, and pursue patent applications or academic publications to maximize research value.

Main Responsibilities

• Independently solve complicated engineering problems and leverage experience to guide colleagues in addressing similar issues. Identify and implement more efficient work methods, promote best practices to multiply the department's work capacity and effectiveness, and cultivate colleagues to adopt similar ways of thinking. Rather than functioning solely as individual contributors, Principal Engineers are expected to use their influence to enhance the organization's efficiency and performance.
• 獨立解決複雜工程問題,並運用經驗指引同仁應對類似問題。找出並導入更高效率的工作方法,推廣最佳實踐以倍增部門的工作能量與效能,並培養同仁具備相似的思維方式。主任工程師應運用影響力提升組織的效率與績效,而不僅僅是作為個別貢獻者。
• With solid domain knowledge in the designated field, s/he is a leader who thinks strategically and is skilled in formulating mid- and long-term development goals for the organization. S/he will not only mentor and guide team members but also form task forces to continuously optimize workflows, integrate resources for optimal utilization, and develop concrete and effective execution plans. Additionally, s/he is proficient in risk management methods and applications, capable of identifying the root causes of abnormalities, and proposing effective mitigation, resolution, correction, and preventive measures.
• 具備策略性思考及擘劃組織中長程發展目標的能力。能有效領導與指引團隊成員,持續優化工作流程,整合資源做最適運用,並制定具體有效的執行計畫。同時熟悉風險管理的方法與應用,能鑑別設計、技術評估及異常事件的根本原因,並提出有效的緩解、解決、矯正與預防措施。
• Serve as the face of the department, fostering communication and connections both internally and externally with the Global Department of Advanced Materials, Simulation and Testing (GMST) to inspire a broader audience and drive innovative ideas or projects —such as knowledge and ability improvement enhancement, and industry-academia collaboration—to achieve departmental goals.
• 作為部門的門面,在全球先進材料、模擬與測試組織內外,透過溝通和建立人際關係的方式啟發更廣泛的群體,推動知識與能力提升、產學合作等創新理念與計畫,以達成部門目標。
• Proactively spend time outside the project's critical path to look for and identify impactful issues, such as product performance improvement that includes product and equipment failure analysis and improvement suggestions, and process improvement. Be hands-on in researching critical problems, while also demonstrating the ability to delegate tasks appropriately when needed.
• 在日常負責的專案中主動發掘具有衝擊力的議題,例如產品功能改善(包含產品與設備的失效分析與改善建議)、流程優化等。能夠自行著手完成關鍵問題的研究,同時具備適時委派他人的能力。
• Study and develop test subjects and techniques using professional methodologies, while appropriately coaching others to present outcomes in clear and logically structured technical documents that promote optimal reader comprehension. Strategically pursue patent applications or academic publications to maximize the value of the research outcomes.
• 以專業的研究方法探索並開發測試題材與技術,並適度帶領與指導同仁將研究成果以清楚且合乎邏輯的技術文件呈現,以達到讀者最充分的理解。同時,透過策略性的方式進行專利申請或學術發表,以最大化研究成果的價值。
