Job details
This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship for external candidates. Candidates cannot require sponsorship now or in the future.
Job's mission
As a Senior Engineering Technician II, you are a key technical expert at the intersection of process and hardware, ensuring ASM tools operate safely, cleanly, and reliably in demanding semiconductor environments. You use deep system-level knowledge and process awareness to solve complex issues, connect tool performance to yield, and drive durable corrective actions. Your work builds trust with customers, supports stable high-volume production, and helps enable the next generation of semiconductor technology.
Shifts available
Must be open to any shift including night shift.
What you will be working on
- Demonstrate advanced understanding of cleanroom protocols, contamination control, and the interaction between process equipment and environmental systems.
- Proactively identify safety risks related to chemical handling, gas delivery, and tool operations, and act as a subject matter resource for peers in high-risk maintenance activities.
- Apply understanding of process flows to correlate tool performance with yield-impacting defects and process deviations.
- Collaborate with process engineering and Field Service Engineers to fine-tune equipment parameters and support troubleshooting efforts that require both hardware and process insight.
- Partner with Field Service Engineers on complex troubleshooting by integrating data from multiple subsystems and applying deep system-level knowledge to isolate root causes.
- Collaborate across engineering and field teams to implement durable corrective actions and continuously refine diagnostic approaches.
- Build enhanced product knowledge across multiple tool types, including system architecture, key components, and common failure modes.
- Use this expertise to perform advanced troubleshooting, support upgrades, and provide guidance to junior technicians and customers in the field.
- Provide clear technical updates to customers, set realistic expectations, and ensure timely resolution of service issues aligned with customer production goals.
- Own service responsibility across 2 ASM toolsets, including complex configurations.
- Perform root-cause analysis and support cross-functional escalations with clear and structured technical documentation.
- Apply troubleshooting strategies using a deep understanding of tool architecture, process integration, and the interactions between mechanical, electrical, and software components.
- Proactively identify performance trends related to gas delivery, thermal control, and process deviations, and drive resolution through collaboration with engineering and field teams.
- Mentor peers on diagnostic methods and contribute to the refinement of troubleshooting protocols based on lessons learned.
What we are looking for
- Technical school diploma (2-year program), OR BS with 1–3 years of experience, OR 7+ years of relevant technical experience in fab, OEM, or advanced manufacturing environments.
- Proven experience working with complex semiconductor or similar process equipment.
- Ability to independently perform installation, maintenance, repair, and on-site customer support across multiple tool types.
- Strong working knowledge of cleanroom protocols, contamination control, and safe work practices in high-risk environments.
- Ability to perform structured root-cause analysis and contribute effectively to cross-functional escalations.
- Strong documentation and communication skills for capturing issues, trends, and technical updates.
- Readiness to obtain and maintain ASM GTC Level 3 certification.
What sets you apart
- Experience identifying and managing safety risks related to chemical handling, gas delivery, and tool operations.
- Experience collaborating closely with Process Engineers and Field Service Engineers on complex, yield-related troubleshooting.
- Demonstrated ability to link tool performance to process flows and yield deviations.
- Experience implementing durable corrective actions and refining diagnostics across engineering and field teams.
- Broad product knowledge across multiple tool types, including understanding of system architecture, key components, and common failure modes.
- Experience mentoring junior technicians in diagnostic methods and structured problem-solving approaches such as 5 Whys or 8D.
- Strong customer-facing communication skills, including setting realistic expectations and aligning service activities with customer production plans.
