Skyworks promotes VP of external manufacturing & operations engineering to VP, worldwide operations

Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) says that Steven C. Machuga has been promoted to VP of worldwide operations.

Machuga has been with the firm since 1999, most recently as VP of external manufacturing & operations engineering. During his years at Skyworks, he has held positions of increasing responsibility in process and product development, operations strategy and execution.

Prior to joining Skyworks, he worked for Motorola in semiconductor engineering and manufacturing management roles. Machuga holds a master's degree in chemical engineering from University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and bachelor's degrees in chemical engineering and materials science from the University of Connecticut.

"We are excited to further leverage his skillsets and capabilities as the value for our solutions continues to expand across mobile and Internet of Things ecosystems," says president & CEO Liam K. Griffin. "His extensive manufacturing background coupled with deep process knowledge will be invaluable in taking Skyworks to the next level of operational efficiency."

Bruce Freyman, who has been leading Skyworks' worldwide operations since 2005, is retiring and will serve in an advisory role for a transitional period. "We are grateful for Bruce's leadership and dedication, particularly as we expanded our global operational footprint, achieved world-class manufacturing yields and reduced cycle times," comments Griffin.
