About The Position

Applied Materials is hiring an Engineering Technician II to perform complex electro-mechanical technical work across design, testing, checkout, fabrication, modification, troubleshooting, and assembly of electronics and electro-mechanical systems. The role works with experimental circuitry, prototype models, specialized test equipment, tools, and test fixtures, and tests and troubleshoots system- and component-level electrical and mechanical issues with minimal supervision. Work may include complex new-system and NPI installations and field upgrades, sometimes with limited or no documentation. The technician investigates and compiles data, documents findings, recommends product-performance improvements, maintains logbooks, and writes complex technical reports and test procedures. The role performs mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, vacuum, and process testing on Applied Materials platforms according to engineering and manufacturing documentation and specifications. It also requires adherence to safety and security policies and procedures and maintaining a safe, clean, and healthy work environment. The position requires a strong understanding of company manufacturing and/or engineering processes and effective communication across departments. The technician provides technical input to management to help correct system-level and manufacturing-process problems, trains lower-level technicians, and serves as a technical resource for a platform or product. The role works closely with Engineering on NPI procedures and documentation and may serve as a Quality Lead. This is a full-time, regular position in Santa Clara, California, with travel of 10% and no relocation eligibility.
