Originally posted 16 September 2026 by the employer — open 4 days.
About the role
This role supports factory sustaining by reviewing questionable materials, troubleshooting process problems and Statistical Process Control (SPC) events, and maintaining related documentation. The technician executes engineering runs on manufacturing equipment and collects sample measurement data for continuous improvement projects.
What you'll do
- Review and disposition questionable and non-conforming materials using established defect libraries.
- Troubleshoot process problems arising from defects and SPC Out of Control (OOC) and Out of Specification (OOS) events using response flow checklists.
- Maintain defect libraries, response flow checklists, and related process documents with new findings.
- Support engineering projects by performing engineering runs on manufacturing equipment.
- Measure and collect sample data, record results accurately, and summarize findings for engineering review.
What you'll need
- Associate degree in an engineering or technical discipline, or equivalent manufacturing/technical work experience.
- High School diploma or GED.
- Experience in a manufacturing, cleanroom, or production environment.
- Familiarity with SPC concepts, including Out of Control (OOC) and Out of Specification (OOS) conditions.
- Ability to visually inspect, measure, and disposition materials consistently.
- Comfortable using measurement tools and following work instructions, response flows, and standard operating procedures.
Nice to have
- 2+ years of experience in a semiconductor or precision-materials manufacturing environment.
- Hands-on experience with defect review, material disposition, or quality inspection.
- Working knowledge of SPC charts, control limits, and structured problem-solving tools (e.g., 5 Whys, fishbone).
- Experience executing engineering runs, DOEs, or metrology/sample measurements.
Skills: defect libraries, SPC, process troubleshooting, engineering runs, sample measurement, cleanroom
