Troubleshoot complex electro-mechanical, pneumatic, and fluidic subsystems to root cause using schematics, wiring diagrams, diagnostic meters, and oscilloscopes. Dismantle, overhaul, calibrate, and reassemble critical sub-assemblies (e.g., polish heads, conditioner arms, platen drives, chemical delivery valves). Support engineering continuous improvement projects (CIP), tool modifications, and process qualification runs. Safely handle hazardous production materials, including slurry, corrosive chemicals, and chemical delivery line flushes, following all fab safety protocols. Maintain comprehensive tool logs, maintenance shift handoffs, and spare parts/consumable tracking via factory CMMS. Partner with equipment vendors and field service engineers on advanced tool escalations and retrofits. Champion 5S+ workplace organization, cleanroom protocol compliance, and contamination control standards.

Experience: Minimum 5+ years of hands-on equipment maintenance experience in a semiconductor manufacturing facility (or equivalent high-tech precision manufacturing environment). Demonstrated expertise in electro-mechanical, fluidic, and pneumatic troubleshooting, repair, and alignment. Strong mechanical aptitude with precision tools (micrometers, dial indicators, torque wrenches, multi-meters). Proven track record of working effectively within cross-functional teams, managing maintenance priorities independently, and driving tool uptime metrics. Proficient computer skills (Windows OS, MS Office suite, and computerized maintenance management systems). Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

Preferred Qualifications

Direct, hands-on maintenance and rebuild experience on Applied Materials (AMAT) Mirra / Mirra Mesa / Desica CMP platforms. Working knowledge of multi-axis servo systems, precision robotics, peristaltic/bellows slurry pumps, and process chillers. Experience mentoring entry-level or intermediate maintenance technicians.

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions

Ability to work a 12-hour compressed work-week shift schedule (standing, walking, bending, reaching for extended periods). Ability to lift, push, or pull up to 50 lbs. Must wear full cleanroom PPE (bunny suit, safety glasses, chemical aprons/face shields when required) and adhere to cleanroom contamination protocols.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
