Engineer - Equipment Training Engineer
About the role
As an Equipment Training Engineer at the Fab21 Component Training Center, you will deliver hands-on technical instruction and maintain specialized training systems. You will lead simulator-based training across nine core domains including RF systems, vacuum technology, chemical wet cleans, and robotics.
What you'll do
- Deliver hands-on technical training and practical troubleshooting across nine core domains: RF, Vacuum, Wet Clean, Chiller, Transfer System, t-Loadport, Gas, Heater, and Hand Tools.
- Assist trainees with component-level working principles, simulator-based diagnostics, and cleanroom SOP enforcement.
- Perform daily inspections, preventative maintenance, calibration, and troubleshooting of specialized training tools, instructional mechanical kits, and simulator equipment.
- Update basic training materials, simulator-based fault scenarios, and provide progress evaluations for new hires.
- Coordinate with component vendors regarding tool servicing, spare parts delivery, and technical seminar logistics.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
- Legal eligibility to work in the United States.
- Ability to lift, carry, and manipulate training equipment, mechanical kits, and hand tools up to 25 lbs, and perform repetitive motions such as gripping, turning, and calibrating.
- Ability to stand for extended periods during hands-on instruction and sit for extended periods during documentation and curriculum design.
- Ability to work in an environment with exposure to industrial equipment noise, compressed gases, RF radiation, and chemical agents, and wear cleanroom garments (gowning).
Nice to have
- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
- Hands-on experience or official certifications from semiconductor equipment manufacturers (e.g., Applied Materials, ASML, Lam Research, TEL) or key component suppliers.
- Track record as an internal trainer, technical instructor, or equipment mentor in a high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment.
- Expertise in RF matching networks, advanced vacuum leak detection, or robot calibration and teaching.
- Experience developing simulator-based training modules, e-learning platforms, or interactive virtual reality (VR) training tools.

How we counted: 3941 open Semiconductor Equipment Engineering (Manufacturing Equipment) roles from 87 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 12 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Process, Fab & Equipment family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
