As a Manufacturing Technician, you'll work hands-on in a cleanroom environment to build and test our multimillion-dollar display and wafer fabrication equipment that's behind the technology we use every day. You'll be responsible for building, repairing, and testing various types of equipment--including electrical, electro-mechanical, vacuum, and pneumatic assemblies, subassemblies, and components. You will perform electro-mechanical assembly operations, troubleshooting, and repairs-- and perform audits to ensure necessary parts are available and inspected for defects. Using test fixtures, electronic measurement equipment, leak detectors, and vacuum pumps you'll test assemblies, complete documentation, perform repairs, or install software to continuously improve our processes.

Role Responsibilities:

• Use work orders, engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, parts lists, bills of material (BOMs), and work instructions to build, repair, integrate, and test electrical, electro-mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic, fluid delivery, and process equipment assemblies, subassemblies, and components.
• Assemble and install plumbing skid systems, including tubing, piping, valves, regulators, fittings, filters, gauges, and other fluid delivery components in accordance with engineering specifications.
• Perform junction box and control enclosure wiring, including device installation, wire termination, cable routing, labeling, and verification of electrical connections.
• Build and integrate complex electro-mechanical modules requiring interconnection wiring between subsystems, cable harness installation, point-to-point wiring, and system-level integration.
• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, P&IDs, and assembly documentation to ensure accurate system assembly and configuration.
• Perform a wide variety of electro-mechanical assembly operations, troubleshooting and repairs
• Receive parts and perform audits to ensure all necessary parts are available; inspect parts for defects; troubleshoot and improve processes
• Use test fixtures, electronic measurement equipment, leak detectors and/or vacuum pumps to test assemblies, subassemblies and components
• Complete required job documentation (data entry) about progress, work expense and labor details; perform computer programming, repair or software installs, as needed
• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, vacuum, and fluid delivery systems to identify and resolve assembly and performance issues.
• Work independently with minimal supervision, and serve as an informal resource for junior colleagues

• An Associate's degree
• 2–4 years of semiconductor or display experience, or comparable industry or military experience
• Related technical trainings and certifications

Preferred Qualifications:

• Solid analytical skills, and an ability to problem-solve using established operating procedures or scientific methods
• Demonstrated capability to operate as a peer leader and trainer
• Demonstrated proficiency for required semiconductor manufacturing concepts and processes
• ASSEET
