Equipment Ownership & Maintenance • Own and maintain assigned semiconductor manufacturing tools (Lithography, Etch, Diffusion, CVD, PVD, CMP, Implant, or Metrology). • Ensure high equipment availability, reliability, and throughput to meet production schedules. • Perform troubleshooting and root cause analysis (RCA) to resolve equipment and process-related issues. • Reduce tool downtime by implementing preventive and predictive maintenance strategies. Installation, Hook-up & Qualification • Support tool installation, hook-up, and commissioning activities in coordination with vendors and facilities teams. • Execute equipment qualification activities (IQ, OQ, PQ) and handover to production. • Assist in technology transfer, new product introduction (NPI), and ramp-up activities. Production & Process Support • Provide day-to-day and on-call equipment support for 24x7 fab operations. • Work closely with Process Engineering and Manufacturing teams to maintain process stability and yield. • Monitor equipment health using SPC/FDC charts and drive corrective actions when deviations occur. Preventive Maintenance & Documentation • Develop, execute, and continuously improve preventive maintenance (PM) procedures. • Maintain accurate equipment documentation, SOPs, PM checklists, and spare parts records. • Ensure compliance with cleanroom protocols and operational standards. Safety, Quality & Compliance • Adhere to EHS guidelines related to hazardous chemicals, gases, electrical systems, and vacuum equipment. • Ensure compliance with internal quality systems, ISO standards, and SEMI guidelines. • Participate in safety audits, risk assessments, and incident investigations. Continuous Improvement • Drive cost reduction, productivity, and cycle-time improvement initiatives. • Support automation, tool data analysis, and equipment performance optimization projects. • Collaborate with global engineering teams and equipment suppliers for best-practice implementation. Requirements Education • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Mechatronics • Diploma holders with relevant fab equipment experience may also be considered Experience • 2–10 years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, equipment engineering, or related high-tech manufacturing • Hands-on experience working in a cleanroom environment • Exposure to 24x7 shift operations is an advantage Technical Skills • Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and equipment fundamentals • Hands-on experience with vacuum systems, gas delivery systems, RF power, robotics, and PLC-based controls • Familiarity with SPC, FDC, TPM, and basic data analysis tools • Ability to interpret electrical schematics, P&IDs, and mechanical drawings Soft Skills • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills • Good communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams • Ability to handle multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment Additional Requirements • Willingness to work in rotating shifts, weekends, and on-call schedules • Ability to comply with cleanroom gowning and physical job requirements • Vendor coordination and field service experience is a plus
