ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBLITIES:

Process Technicians function as the primary interface between the manufacturing, maintenance, and process and equipment engineering teams to ensure the consistent production of high-quality wafers.
Process Technicians are responsible for monitoring the performance of tooling used in the manufacturing process and for helping to identify processing issues affecting output or product quality.
Process Technicians are also responsible for the cycle time within their area and must resolve any WIP that is delayed or on hold.
In addition, Process Technicians are often directly involved in the resolution of tooling or processing issues and may recommend, document and implement changes at the direction of the appropriate engineering group.

Process Technicians also play a vital role in the training and certification of lower-level operators.
