Plessey are looking for a Shift Equipment Engineer to keep our Etch equipment running smoothly. In this role, you will help maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the specialist equipment used to precisely etch patterns into semiconductor wafers, a critical stage in the microLED manufacturing process. You will work closely with Process Engineers to ensure the equipment performs reliably, maximise uptime, and support the production of high-quality microLED displays.
We're interested in the skills and experience you can bring, not just the industry you've come from. If you have a strong equipment engineering and fault-finding background from sectors such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, food production, or other high-tech industries, we'd love to hear from you. Full training will be provided to help you develop your semiconductor knowledge.
These roles will be based in a clean-room environment and operate on a rotating 4 on, 4 off shift pattern, consisting of 2 day shifts (7:00am to 7:00pm) followed by 2 night shifts (7:00pm to 7:00am).
