Create schedules for equipment installations and work with OEM and in‑house resources to achieve project milestones.
Mentor technicians regarding new procedures and equipment troubleshooting.
Maintain equipment preventive maintenance procedures.
Perform troubleshooting that may involve airline respirator, PPE, hazardous gases, high voltages and temperatures, and lifting objects up to 50 lb.
Review tool histories for all area tools to find common themes, propose improvements/repairs, and execute them.
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
B.S. in Engineering or a relevant technical discipline, or Military Equivalent.
Demonstrable equipment engineering skills and experience.
Strong semiconductor equipment knowledge.
Comfortable handling chemicals (including acids, bases, solvents) and gases.
