Semiconductor Equipment Engineer
Science
Science is developing technologies for a range of serious unmet medical needs. We are unafraid to take difficult technical risks, secure in the knowledge that with a clear understanding of what we are doing and with support from powerful modern tools, more progress is possible than might be immediately obvious. Regardless of role or team, the two most important factors we look for in a candidate are evidence of exceptional ability and the addition of positive energy to the group. As a small, very early stage team in a largely unstructured environment, the ability to independently orient yourself to the problems that need to be solved and then follow through is essential.
We are looking for an equipment engineer with extensive experience in the semiconductor industry. This individual will support a variety of semiconductor processes in Class 100 and 1000 cleanrooms. The process technology to be supported includes photolithography, RIE, thin-film deposition, CVD/diffusion, and plating. Responsibilities include preventive maintenance, tool upgrades, tool repairs and equipment installation. The position will interface with the process engineers to understand process-related product issues and drive improvements and with process technicians to identify and resolve tool problems. The ideal candidate will have a broad background in maintenance, installation, and repair of semiconductor processing equipment, enjoy being hands on in the cleanroom, and prefer to be working in a fast-paced environment.
Role & Responsibilities:
- Hands-on equipment maintenance and installation.
- Identify any defects or malfunctions and immediately repair and refurbish, as required.
- Troubleshoot and repair of a wide variety of electrical and electronic systems, including motor control systems, contractors, starters, AC/DC drives and motors, various control switches and proximity sensors utilized on production machinery.
