At Wolfspeed, we do amazing things in a human way.

We know that the achievements of our organization are due to the passion, hard work and creativity of our employees. We celebrate different perspectives to foster excellence across our organization, and our goal is to make diversity a foundation of what we do. We are proudly building an environment where you can bring your authentic self to work.

• Student? We offer continuing education assistance.

• Looking for community? There are many ways to get involved, from Employee Resource Groups to local outreach.

Here’s the Gist:

In this role you will join the Bond & Grind Engineering team at our Mohawk Valley Fab (MVF) — the world's largest 200mm SiC wafer fabrication facility — to sustain, optimize, and improve chemical-based wet process systems used in the manufacture of silicon carbide power devices.

The Day-to-Day:

• Conduct preventive maintenance (MTBPM), tool fingerprinting, and CIPs to meet tool availability goals; troubleshoot chemical delivery sub-systems and drive root cause analysis (RCA) on equipment excursions to prevent recurrence

• Create and maintain PM procedures, tool configuration records, and tool acceptance specifications; support tool selection decisions for capacity increases and process development/transfer

• Partner with process engineering and production to improve quality metrics, reduce scrap and rework, and drive cost reduction; present technical data and project updates to peers and management

• Champion chemical safety and EHS compliance for wet chemistry operations — including acids, bases, oxidants, and specialty chemistries — enforcing PPE and hazardous waste procedures

• Manage spare parts inventory and equipment BOMs; coordinate with vendors on technical escalations, parts sourcing, and field service support

This Job is Right for You if You Have (Minimum Requirements):

• A bachelor’s degree in engineering or related field with 2+ years of semiconductor experience

• Hands‑on experience sustaining process equipment in a semiconductor wafer fabrication environment

• Demonstrated awareness of chemical safety protocols and safe handling practices for hazardous wet chemistry

• Proficiency in technical writing and presentations
