Development Engineering Senior Technician
About The Position
Join a team supporting semiconductor development work in a fast-paced foundry environment. The Development Engineering Senior Technician helps execute engineering experiments, troubleshoot material issues, and support technology development programs that contribute to customer and internal R&D success. The role involves real-time communication with Development Engineers when ATS material requires attention, including days and weekends, and responsibility grows as technical knowledge and confidence develop. The technician runs standard and advanced experiments through the ATS Technician Request system, evaluates non-conforming material with engineering teams, and creates or improves work instructions, process flows, and metrology recipes. The role builds proficiency across more than 100 semiconductor toolsets and provides cross-functional exposure to Photolithography, Etch, Thin Films, CMP, Implant/RTA, and other process areas. The position supports continuous improvement and other ATS engineering and development priorities. The schedule is A Shift: Sunday through Tuesday and every other Wednesday, 6:00 a.m.–6:15 p.m. U.S. citizenship is required because the role requires holding or being able to obtain a government security clearance. The hourly pay range is $27.88–$41.82, with a 10% shift differential. Pay depends on job-related experience, skills, education, and credentials.
