Position Overview

SemiAnalysis is the leading independent research firm covering the semiconductor and AI industries. STEEL is our semiconductor teardown and characterization lab in Hillsboro, Oregon, built to take leading-edge hardware apart and understand how it is designed, manufactured, and assembled.

We are hiring a Lab Equipment & Facilities Technician to keep STEEL and its equipment running at a high standard. This is a hands-on role responsible for tool readiness, troubleshooting, repairs, facilities upkeep, vendor coordination, consumables, and day-to-day environmental health and safety.

STEEL operates a broad range of leading-edge analytical, sample-preparation, and precision mechanical equipment, including electron and ion beam tools, optical and X-ray systems, CNC and machining equipment, and chemical and wet-process stations. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys working across a wide tool base, takes ownership of the lab floor, and treats safety, quality, and uptime as non-negotiable.

Responsibilities

  • Triage, troubleshoot, and repair lab equipment across the floor.
  • Use practical, out-of-the-box thinking to repair tools safely and cost-effectively.
  • Manage OEM service contracts, including opening tickets, hosting field engineers, and holding vendors accountable to scope and schedule.
  • Maintain facilities and infrastructure, including HVAC, process support systems, vacuum systems, mechanical and electrical systems, compressed gases, cryogens, and environmental monitoring.
  • Use machining and 3D printing to fix systems, solve problems, and enable new lab capabilities.
  • Manage the preventive maintenance and calibration calendar across instruments and facilities.
  • Own day-to-day EH&S activities, including chemical, mechanical, electrical, cryogenic, and compressed-gas safety.
  • Maintain waste manifests, SDS records, hazmat processes, and emergency equipment.
  • Own consumables, spare parts, and purchasing for the lab.
  • Support lab build-out, commissioning, and tool acceptance.
  • Assist with developing SOPs, preventive maintenance checklists, and operating procedures.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience maintaining precision analytical, semiconductor, vacuum-based, or similarly complex technical equipment.
  • Comfortable working across a broad tool base and facility systems, rather than being limited to one instrument or trade.
  • Strong safety discipline across chemical, mechanical, electrical, cryogenic, and compressed-gas hazards.
  • Good judgment under pressure, with the ability to decide when to fix an issue immediately, escalate to a vendor, or shut a system down.
  • Strong documentation habits for maintenance, repairs, procedures, and safety records.
  • Relevant training or background to perform the role, whether formal, military, self-taught, or gained through hands-on technical experience.
  • High ownership mindset and willingness to be accountable for lab uptime, safety, and readiness.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience serving on a safety committee or in a designated safety role.
  • Experience building policies, procedures, or infrastructure to meet regulatory requirements.
  • Experience working directly with facilities vendors, OEMs, and construction contractors.
  • Hands-on experience with FIB, SEM, TEM, or sample-preparation tooling.
  • CNC, machining, fabrication, or 3D printing experience.
  • Cleanroom or ESD discipline.
  • Basic scripting experience, especially Python, for log parsing, monitoring, and trend analysis.
  • Experience supporting lab build-outs, commissioning, or equipment acceptance.

Growth Areas

  • Opportunity to become the primary owner of lab readiness, maintenance standards, and equipment uptime across STEEL.
  • Exposure to a broad range of advanced semiconductor, analytical, and sample-preparation tools beyond what is typically available in a single-tool fab assignment.
  • Ability to help build and scale the lab’s safety, maintenance, calibration, and vendor-management systems from the ground up.
  • Opportunity to develop deeper expertise in semiconductor teardown, characterization workflows, and advanced hardware analysis.
  • High visibility in a small, technical team where the work directly enables published SemiAnalysis research.
  • Potential to grow into broader lab operations, facilities leadership, equipment engineering, or technical operations ownership as STEEL scales.
