  • Test and troubleshoot system-level and component-level issues in electrical and mechanical systems without supervision.
  • Conduct mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, vacuum, and process testing on AMAT platforms following engineering and manufacturing specifications.
  • Execute new system and NPI installations, field upgrades, and collaborate with engineering on NPI procedures and documentation.
  • Compile logbooks, generate test procedures documentation, write technical reports, and recommend design changes using established reporting processes.
  • Provide standard work training and technical guidance to lower-level engineering technicians.

What you'll need

  • Expertise in troubleshooting system-level and component-level issues in electrical and mechanical subsystems with limited or no documentation.
  • Hands-on experience performing mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, vacuum, and process testing on semiconductor equipment platforms.
  • Experience building, assembling, or testing prototype models, experimental circuitry, specialized test equipment, and test fixtures.
  • Demonstrated capability in compiling logbooks, technical reports, and developing test procedure documentation.
  • Ability to meet physical job demands including extended standing, maneuvering in clean room environments using PPE, and using hand and power tools.
