  • Basic personal computer and keyboarding skills for accurate data entry, with proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel.
  • Basic understanding of statistical process control principles.
  • Ability to read, follow, and interpret schematics.
  • Basic electrical and mechanical troubleshooting ability.
  • Demonstrated work performance in an environment requiring close attention to detail and follow-up.
  • Basic math skills, including arithmetic, averages, percentages, and basic statistics.
  • Ability to multitask and work through complex problems.
  • Ability to walk and stand continuously throughout a 12-hour shift and frequently ascend and descend stairs.
  • Ability to lift, push, pull, and carry up to 35 pounds.
  • Ability to see specified colors and flashing alarms, and hear and respond immediately to equipment alarms.
  • An associate degree, or a combination of education and technical training in lieu of an associate degree.
  • Working toward an associate degree or formal training in a maintenance or mechanical field is preferred.

Responsibilities

  • Optimize the performance of tools and equipment for semiconductor wafer production in a cleanroom, addressing technical issues through physical-model troubleshooting to minimize downtime and resolve root causes.
  • Perform routine preventive and corrective maintenance to specifications and maintain detailed documentation of work performed.
  • Continuously improve theoretical knowledge of electronic, mechanical, robotics and wafer-handling, pneumatic, vacuum, chemical, and gas-delivery systems relevant to semiconductor manufacturing.
  • Use basic electronic troubleshooting competencies, electromechanical concepts, process theory, and in-depth tool-design knowledge to analyze subsystems and components.
  • Propose projects to reduce cost, improve tool availability, and increase tool or systems efficiency.
  • Respond promptly to tool downtime; inspect, test, and troubleshoot equipment, perform corrective maintenance, and collaborate with tool owners to identify root causes, including on complex tasks as experience develops.
  • Assist tool owners with project management for equipment upgrades, modifications, and installations, track tool performance, and participate in special projects to improve reliability and reduce scrap risk from equipment failures.
  • Perform preventive maintenance and suggest procedure or specification modifications to tool owners to improve tool availability.
  • Work with or around hazardous chemicals and gases, including pouring chemicals and changing gases, and follow applicable handling procedures.
  • Use work-stream and parts-management systems and statistical process control to assess tool health.
  • Use the test equipment and specialty tools required for daily tasks.
  • Work with engineering teams to modify existing equipment and install new equipment.
  • Maintain and update process documentation through real-time system entries for all work performed.
  • Maintain a clean work area, follow 5S principles, and perform maintenance in accordance with quality procedures, standards, and specifications.
  • Follow environmental, safety, health, cleanroom, and chemical-handling protocols and maintain required manufacturing certifications.
  • Report accidents and spills promptly and recommend improvements to safe work practices.
  • Participate in tool-improvement projects and report findings to senior-level technicians; share knowledge with lower-level technicians.
  • Communicate with operators to understand performance differences from normal equipment operation.
  • Submit continuous-improvement ideas and assist with implementing solutions to routine suggestions.
  • Develop an understanding of multiple toolsets, their uses, and their associated components.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing, equipment, and process engineering teams to resolve quality and productivity challenges, and assist engineering teams with process experiments or new test methods.

Desired Qualifications

  • Strong mechanical background.
  • Previous experience or familiarity with a cleanroom or semiconductor factory environment.
  • Two or more years of experience as an equipment technician maintaining semiconductor processing equipment, or manufacturing experience.
  • Experience or familiarity with maintenance of gas-delivery systems, chemical-delivery systems, vacuum pumps, abatement systems, and heater chillers.
