Equipment Engineering Technician: Night Shift
About the role
The Equipment Technician is responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, and supporting manufacturing equipment used in the fabrication of semiconductor devices in a clean room environment.
What you'll do
- Coordinate and perform reactive troubleshooting and scheduled preventive maintenance on wafer fab, back end, and assembly processing tools to maintain uptime.
- Maintain and service fab support equipment including vacuum pumps, power supplies, and gas cabinets.
- Set up, operate, and interpret output of diagnostic test equipment including oscilloscopes, digital volt-ohm meters, current/voltage sources, and chart recorders.
- Read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical blueprints, pneumatic diagrams, and flow charts to diagnose and repair failures.
- Run equipment to validate that corrective actions and repairs were successful, logging status updates in the Camstar system.
- Participate as an active member of the Emergency Response Team (ERT) and adhere to site EHS standards.
What you'll need
- 2+ years of experience maintaining wafer processing equipment.
- Practical knowledge of electronics, mechanics, vacuum theory, and testing.
- Ability to read and interpret electronic schematics, mechanical blueprints, and pneumatic diagrams.
- Proficiency using test equipment such as oscilloscopes and digital volt-ohm meters.
- Ability to meet physical requirements: working in a Class 100/1000 clean room, standing for up to 10 hours, lifting 50 pounds, working around chemicals/gases, and passing periodic ERT physical clearances.
- Flexibility to work a night compressed work week shift (alternating 3 and 4 consecutive 12-hour shifts) and travel domestically or internationally if needed.
Nice to have
- Military Electronics certification or an AS technical degree in electronics.
- Maintenance experience on tools such as Plasmatherm LAPECVD, Matrix Asher, Koyo vertical furnace, Lam Rainbow, Oxford ICP, KLA/SPTS ICP, wet etch process stations, RENA Semi Auto Wet System, MEI SRD, TEL Mark Vz, ACT 8, or ASML 5500.
