Equipment engineering focuses on optimizing multi-million dollar production equipment (parts, preventative maintenance, cleaning and repair, etc.), while process engineering optimizes the processes (materials, time, temperature, dose, etc.) of the various manufacturing steps. Key challenges include integrating tool improvements across multiple tool types with different operating systems and coordinating multiple activities with shared/limited resources. The role involves cross-functional aspects, working with teams such as Process Engineers, Equipment Engineers, Operations, and Facilities to accomplish testing, improving tool performance, tool installs, tool removals, and tool moves.
