About The Position

Join Intel's Advanced Packaging Technology Development - Substrate and Wafer Assembly (ATPD: SWA) team and help us fulfill our mission to be the supplier of choice for leading-edge, cost-effective substrate packaging. As a Manufacturing Equipment Technician, you will support critical manufacturing equipment and drive continuous improvement in a highly technical, cleanroom production environment. This role involves performing electrical and/or mechanical troubleshooting to diagnose issues with non-functioning electromechanical equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing. You will also be responsible for dismantling, adjusting, repairing, and assembling equipment according to layout plans, blueprints, operating or repair manuals, rough sketches, or engineering drawings. Setup, calibration, and preventive maintenance on production equipment, with a focus on wet chemistry, plating, and dry high-vacuum toolsets, will be key. Documentation of maintenance activities, repairs, parts usage, and findings in accordance with established procedures and systems is required. Collaboration with engineering, process, and support teams to improve tool performance, reduce equipment downtime, and enhance process capability and reliability is essential. Leading or contributing to continuous improvement projects, including root cause analysis, yield and uptime improvement initiatives, and optimization of maintenance practices, is also part of the role. Assignments are semi-routine in nature and performed within generally defined parameters. Employees normally receive general instructions on most work and are expected to exercise judgment in resolving nonstandard problems.
