Support EPI reactors, scrubbers, and gas delivery systems for micro LED device fabrication.
About the role
This role supports all EPI reactor tools and support equipment, including scrubbers, hydrogen sources, and process metrology tools. Responsibilities cover preventive maintenance and optimization of EPI wafer fabrication process equipment for micro LED devices.
What you'll do
- Own equipment uptime performance, including installation, acceptance, qualification, and lifecycle management of EPI reactors and associated support systems.
- Conduct hands-on preventative maintenance, unplanned repairs, and optimization tasks for EPI equipment and ancillary systems.
- Develop and implement preventative maintenance plans per OEM recommendations, coordinating directly with manufacturers for warranty, retrofit, and repair activities.
- Maintain a critical spare parts and consumables database, and manage off-site parts refurbishment and cleaning programs.
- Review and maintain compressed process gas delivery systems, assisting with routine bottle changes when required.
- Partner with Process Engineering to identify equipment-related yield and process stability improvements and participate as an active site emergency response team (ERT) member.
What you'll need
- 10+ years of hands-on experience supporting MOCVD reactors, with direct experience on Aixtron G3/G4/G5 or Veeco/Emcore platforms.
- Hands-on maintenance and repair experience with EPI reactors, process metrology, NH3 purifiers, and hydrogen supply systems.
- Experience with arsenides, phosphides, or nitrides.
- Ability to wear a respirator and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
- Experience working in a cleanroom environment with cleanroom hygiene protocols.
- Experience working with hazardous chemicals and following hazmat handling protocols.
Nice to have
- In-depth understanding of electronics, vacuum technologies (such as helium leak checking and dry vac pump rebuild), and metrology tools.
- Cross-functional experience in both research and production environments.
- Experience using Fab MES, SPC, and MS Office.

How we counted: 3963 open Semiconductor Equipment Engineering (Manufacturing Equipment) roles from 87 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 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.
