Senior Engineer - Equipment Training Engineer
About the role
As an Equipment Training Engineer at the Fab21 (F21) Component Training Center, you will deliver simulator-based instruction and maintain specialized training systems across core semiconductor equipment domains. The training curriculum supports fab operations spanning N5 and N4 process technologies through future N3 and 2nm nodes.
What you'll do
- Lead 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.
- Perform preventative maintenance, daily inspections, calibration, and troubleshooting on training center tools, instructional mechanical kits, and simulator equipment.
- Design, develop, and optimize training courses, instructional materials, and simulator-based fault scenarios while evaluating trainee progress.
- Collaborate with equipment and hardware component vendors to introduce emerging component technologies and co-develop technical modules.
- Partner with Headquarters training divisions to localize and integrate corporate training guidelines and cleanroom SOP certification standards.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
- Minimum of 3 years of practical experience in semiconductor equipment engineering, process engineering, or technical training (or minimum 1 year with a master's degree).
- Physical ability to manipulate equipment and mechanical kits up to 25 lbs, perform repetitive calibration motions, and work in environments with exposure to industrial noise, compressed gases, RF radiation, and wet-clean chemical agents.
- Ability to wear PPE including cleanroom gowning garments for cleanroom-adjacent demonstrations.
- Legal authorization to work in the United States.
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 major semiconductor equipment manufacturers (e.g., Applied Materials, ASML, Lam Research, TEL) or key component suppliers.
- Proven 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.
