• Support wafer process efficiency, quality, and innovation through collaboration with engineering, operations, and other key partners.
• Support engineering and process development teams, helping improve workstation operations and resolve bottlenecks.
• Support problem-solving and continuous improvement efforts; use data analysis to guide process decisions.
• Work in both cleanroom and office environments, adapting to fabrication and data analysis needs.
• Follow safety protocols and perform physical tasks, including standing for long periods, lifting 25–40 lbs, and navigating tight or uneven spaces.
• Communicate clearly and manage tasks independently, using Microsoft Office tools to complete work efficiently.
• Conduct technical tests and experiments for R&D in wafer fabrication; prepare reports and present findings.
• Collaborate with team members and vendors to monitor equipment performance, address preventative maintenance needs, and proactively resolve safety concerns.
• Perform light assembly and maintain cleanroom standards, including lifting materials (25–40 lbs), using handheld tools, and following housekeeping protocols to support equipment availability.
• Ability to wear fab-specific cleanroom garments at all times and occasionally wear PPE (e.g., chemical apron, face shield).
• Document process deviations and drive improvements, using root cause analysis to prevent recurrence and optimize operations.
• Perform physically demanding tasks safely, including standing up to 10 hours, walking 1–5 miles per shift, lifting 25–40 lbs, and navigating confined or uneven spaces.
• Safely handle gases and chemicals, maintain situational awareness, and follow all safety policies including proper use of PPE like respirators and cleanroom garments.
• Lead and support projects focused on equipment maintenance and operational improvements, ensuring alignment with scope, schedule, and budget.
• Understand mechanical, electrical or controls operations of HVAC/R systems, including chiller plants, compressed air, heating water, cooling water, process exhaust, cleanroom HVAC/R, and general building HVAC/R.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Ability to work 12‑hour shifts (3 days on/4 days off, then 4 days on/3 days off) and adjust to overtime or shift changes as needed.
• Ability to wear cleanroom garments (about 20% of the time based on department) and occasional PPE such as chemical aprons and face shields.
• Associate degree in Mechatronics, Electronics, Robotics, or a related technical field and/or 2 years of experience maintaining manufacturing equipment, automation, or equivalent technical military experience.
• Ability to work 12‑hour shifts (3 days on/4 days off and 4 days on/3 days off) and move between day and night shifts every 4 months.
• At least 2 years of experience performing preventive maintenance and repairs on manufacturing equipment.
• At least 2 years of experience using mechanical, electrical, or software skills to diagnose and resolve equipment issues.

Nice-to-haves

• Associate degree or equivalent experience, technical certification, military training, or coursework in engineering, science, manufacturing, or related fields.
• Experience following processes, working with data, or supporting operations in cleanroom, laboratory, or manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with process monitoring, data analysis, or basic statistical concepts (training provided on Micron systems).
• 4+ years of experience supporting or maintaining manufacturing equipment, automation, or comparable technical systems.
• 4+ years of experience leading equipment‑related projects with strong alignment to schedule, scope, and budget.
• Experience managing improvements that enhance equipment reliability and operational performance.
