About The Position

WOONGJIN, Inc. is seeking a mid-level Cable Technician II for its layer-one structured cabling team. The role builds on copper cabling experience and requires proficiency in fiber optic installation, termination, and testing. The technician works independently across copper and fiber media, guides Tech I personnel on day-to-day installation tasks, and owns moderately complex scopes from planning through acceptance. This is an onsite position in a cleanroom semiconductor manufacturing environment. Work includes extended periods wearing a cleanroom smock and required PPE, and completing layer-one infrastructure from floor plans or ticket-driven scopes to company and industry standards. The role emphasizes hands-on execution, strong fiber skills, and identifying and escalating design or field issues before they cause rework. The position supports 24x7 data center and fab operations through on-call scheduling. Compensation is USD 26–27 per hour.
