Job description

Responsibilities

You will be responsible for maintaining, repairing, and troubleshooting semiconductor manufacturing equipment and the automated material handling system (AMHS) to ensure high equipment availability, reliability, and operational efficiency. You will perform preventive and corrective maintenance activities, maintain accurate records and documentation, and adhere to established standard operating procedures (SOP), quality standards, safety requirements, and housekeeping practices.

You will support equipment engineers in tool improvement initiatives aimed at reducing downtime, improving performance, and enhancing cost efficiency while ensuring compliance with departmental guidelines and corporate policies. There will be opportunities to participate in continuous improvement projects (CIP), equipment upgrades, process improvements, and reliability enhancement projects.

You must possess a high degree of adaptability and initiative, with the ability to learn quickly and be capable of working independently with minimal guidance as the role may require periods of autonomous work, strong problem-solving skills and self-discipline

Requirements

• Possess a Diploma or Professional Certificate/NiTEC in Mechanical, Electrical & Electronic Engineering or Microelectronics or equivalent.
• Possess knowledge in electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, and automation systems with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• A good team player with strong communication and teamwork skills, and the ability to collaborate across lateral and vertical stakeholders.
• Experience with metrology equipment for wafer particle inspection, thickness measurement, cleaning, sorting, packaging, and ICP-MS analysis, as well as AMHS equipment such as stockers and Overhead Hoist Transport (OHT) systems, will be an advantage.
• Ensure compliance with EHS requirements on work risks and safety precautions, including chemical hazards, working at heights, and maintaining a safe working environment.
• You are required to work 12-hour rotating shifts to provide operational support for production activities and ensure timely responses to equipment-related issues in a fast-paced semiconductor manufacturing environment.
