About the Job

Requirements

  • Completed vocational training in a mechanical, technical, or maintenance-related field, such as automotive mechanic, industrial mechanic, or mechatronics technician, or equivalent.
  • Practical experience with mechanical systems and basic knowledge of electrical, pneumatic, gas, or utility systems.
  • Able to work independently, set priorities, and take full responsibility for assigned tasks.
  • Able to diagnose faults and solve problems, and willing to work in a cleanroom environment under strict quality and safety standards.
  • Comfortable with hands-on work in cleanroom, laboratory, and facilities environments, including using ladders to reach elevated areas and working in confined spaces beneath the cleanroom when needed.
  • Able to safely perform physically demanding maintenance and installation work, including replacing HEPA filters, operating valves, positioning gas cylinders, and moving heavy vacuum pumps; suitable aids and colleague support are provided for heavy loads.
  • Strong English communication skills; Dutch is preferred for communicating with external parties, management, and operators.

Responsibilities

  • Ensure the safe and reliable operation of cleanroom facilities, including HVAC, supply and exhaust air, gas, water, and electrical infrastructure.
  • Perform preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs on production and test equipment in the cleanroom, cleanroom systems, and incoming utilities.
  • Diagnose and resolve technical problems to minimize downtime and maintain operational continuity.
  • Coordinate and carry out maintenance work in compliance with standards and safety regulations.
  • Take responsibility for technical challenges and proactively identify opportunities to improve systems and reliability.
  • Take full responsibility for cleanroom infrastructure, ensuring reliable operation of air handling, gas, water, exhaust, and electrical systems with minimal downtime.
  • Proactively identify problems, implement practical solutions, and contribute to a safe and efficient work environment.
  • Manage maintenance and repair work independently and prioritize effectively in a dynamic environment.
  • Continuously expand technical knowledge and skills, quickly learn new systems and technologies, and maintain the high standards required in a cleanroom environment.

Desired Qualifications

  • Dutch language skills for communication with external parties, management, and operators.

About the Company

Black Semiconductor

Graphene photonics enable optical chip interconnects

Black Semiconductor develops graphene-based photonics that integrate optical components into the outer layers of CMOS-like chips, enabling direct optical chip-to-chip communication. It works by using graphene as a translator to convert electronic signals to optical signals and back, so electrons on silicon can talk to photons through integrated photonic interconnects. This approach differs from traditional silicon photonics or pure electronic interconnects by being CMOS-compatible, wafer-scale, and capable of linking multiple chips as a single high-performance unit while reducing production steps by about 60%. The company aims to move from pilot production to mass manufacturing, building a 300mm wafer facility (FabONE) in Aachen, with pilot production by 2027 and mass production by 2031, backed by a large European funding round and investors.
