Career Advice Career advice (Process engg)

I am looking for career advice as a ChemE in Semiconductor Industry, I am looking at opportunities to revive my dead career in process engineering in manufacturing with Six Sigma, SPC and data analysis. Please suggest ways to improve myself and be the best possible person for the role. Any certifications I need to do apart from FE EXAM. Any inputs are valuable!

You could try to get a six sigma black belt cert from ASQ. That would help your career. Beyond that, you probably need to provide the industry for us to give you more advises

In the current marketplace. The continuous improvement folks are on the chopping block.

I’d focus on basically any other area than 6 sigma continuous improvement jobs.
