Manufacturing Systems Technician IV

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the assembly and calibration of high-load robotic systems and vacuum wafer-handling tools to rigorous Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP).
• Perform expert-level root-cause analysis on electrical, pneumatic, and vacuum systems, troubleshooting down to the component level when standard SOPs require engineering level troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Manager and Engineering to validate and refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and kitting.
• Aid in implementing 5S and Lean methodologies to optimize station cycle times.
• Mentor and certify the team on specialized equipment such as helium leak detectors and precision metrology tools.
• Conduct comprehensive pre-Quality audits to ensure assemblies are 100% compliant before submission to Quality lead for final sign-off.
• Act as the primary technical partner to the Manufacturing Engineer for 'Copy Exact' compliance on the floor.

Requirements

• 10+ years of direct experience in semiconductor equipment manufacturing or high-precision robotics.
• Associate’s degree (A.S.) from two-year college or technical school or military training is a plus.
• Expertise in Helium Leak Detection and vacuum integrity.
• Proficiency in 3D modeling software (SolidWorks/Composer) for assembly visualization.
• Advanced skill with multi-meters, oscilloscopes, torque programs, and precision alignment tools.
• Proven track record of coaching and developing small teams or managing complex technical projects independently.

Skills & Abilities

• Ability to interpret complex schematics and fluid power diagrams.
• Strong analytical skills to solve "edge-case" technical problems without existing documentation.
• Excellent communication skills for presenting to engineering teams.
• Willingness to travel domestically or internationally (up to 15%) for critical field service or partner site support.
