About The Position

At our core, we build sophisticated semiconductor equipment that depends on precision engineering, disciplined execution, and people who enjoy solving difficult hardware problems. We are looking for a Senior Engineering Technician who wants to be directly involved in building, testing, troubleshooting, repairing, and installing complex semiconductor systems. This is a hands-on role where we work closely with engineers to turn designs into functioning hardware and continuously improve the reliability and performance of our equipment. We are interested in someone who takes pride in figuring things out. When a subsystem is not performing as expected, do you want to understand why? When a vacuum chamber fails qualification, do you dig into the details rather than wait for someone else to solve the problem? If so, you may be a strong fit for our team.

Requirements

10 to 15 years of semiconductor industry experience
Strong background supporting semiconductor capital equipment
Experience with Ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems
Cleanroom and contamination control practices
Electrical wiring and troubleshooting
Control systems and equipment interlocks
Mechanical assembly and system integration
Reading electrical schematics and engineering drawings
Electrical test equipment including DVMs and clamp-on amp meters
Minimum of 4 - 6 years of related experience

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting equipments from semiconductor manufacturing industries is highly desirable.
