About The Position

Applied Materials is seeking an Engineering Technician to perform routine to moderately complex electro-mechanical technical work supporting engineering and manufacturing activities. Work includes designing, testing, checking out, fabricating, modifying, troubleshooting, and assembling electronics and electro-mechanical systems, experimental circuitry, prototypes, specialized test equipment, tools, and test fixtures. The technician may troubleshoot system- and component-level issues, perform new system and NPI installations and field upgrades, and conduct mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, vacuum, and process testing on Applied Materials platforms to engineering and manufacturing specifications. The role involves working from schematics, diagrams, written or verbal descriptions, layouts, and plans; compiling logbooks and test-procedure documentation; and potentially performing test-related rework and generating Quality Notifications. The technician is expected to follow safety procedures, maintain a safe and clean work environment, attend required safety training, report hazards and incidents, and stay current on manufacturing and engineering process changes. The position can involve physically demanding work and may require cleanroom personal protective equipment.
