Equipment Technician, Diffusion

About the role

You will be responsible for performing advanced-level repair, calibration, and preventative maintenance on semiconductor equipment within the Diffusion area. You will interface closely with Production and Engineering teams to identify and resolve process-related issues, while providing technical guidance and support to lower-level technicians.

Responsibilities

• Work under the direction of an Equipment Engineer and/or Engineering Manager to plan and execute improvement project initiatives.
• Analyze recurring equipment failures and suggest innovative technical solutions or new work methods.
• Develop your own resources to solve problems and provide imaginative solutions to a broad range of difficult problems, producing significant results.
• Lead and direct activities to develop and improve existing semiconductor equipment maintenance procedures and systems.
• Collect equipment-specific performance data, working with Engineering to develop and implement solutions to equipment-specific failures based on collected Pareto data and tool deficiencies.
• Provide technical, equipment-specific training to lower-level technicians.
• Interface with and direct vendor support to resolve equipment-related failures.
• Perform diagnostic troubleshooting and repair on malfunctioning equipment down to the component level, as needed.
• Take a lead role in resolving process issues and participate in yield investigations.
• Use sound judgment in resolving problems, carrying out assignments, and making recommendations.
• Participate in and lead/direct ERT/Safety events in the absence of supervision.
• Ensure all required parts are on order and follow up as needed to minimize equipment MTTR.
• Handle complex assignments where data analysis requires in-depth evaluation of various variables.
• Lead important, high-complexity technical projects.
• Be recognized as a technical expert, demonstrating proficiency in more than one major production or test area.
• Interface with Production, Process, Facility, and support functions to identify and resolve production equipment-related issues, providing technical guidance to lower-level technicians.
• Work independently with minimal support.

Requirements

• Average of 5+ years technical experience in the semiconductor industry.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of advanced electro-mechanical systems operations and maintenance.
• Strong knowledge of electronic theory, vacuum and pneumatics theory, principles of electrical circuits, motor control systems and test procedures and the ability to troubleshoot to component level.
• Direct working experience with Applied Materials Producer, Novellus C1/C2 Sequel/C2 Speed/C2 Altus experience is desirable.

Skills

• Complex problem solving on semiconductor equipment in a production environment for the Diffusion area.
• Technical guidance and support to lower-level technicians.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.

Benefits
