Job description

We are seeking a dedicated Test Technology Technician to join a high-volume Semiconductor Manufacturing Operations team in a 100% on-site cleanroom fab environment. Operating directly on the active test floor, you will play a mission-critical role in maximizing equipment availability, operational reliability, and test yield across advanced wafer probe, electrical sort, and final test lines. This hands‑on position is responsible for maintaining, calibrating, troubleshooting, and repairing automated wafer probers, automated test equipment (ATE) testers, precision probe cards, and specialized handling mechanisms—making safety, quality, and proactive problem‑solving essential to keeping production running smoothly.

salary: $25 - $29 per hour

shift: First

work hours: 6:45 AM - 7:15 PM

Responsibilities

• Preventive & Corrective Maintenance: Execute scheduled Preventive Maintenance (PM) procedures and perform rapid root‑cause troubleshooting and repairs on unscheduled down test equipment. Resolve electro‑mechanical faults, vacuum/pneumatic anomalies, stage drift, and optical alignment errors across multi‑vendor platforms—including TEL automated wafer probers and Teradyne, Advantest, and Keysight ATE testers. Ensure proper hardware calibration, thermal chuck integrity, and docking repeatability.
• Probe Card Management: Oversee probe card exchanges, setup, verification, and continuous planarization/alignment checks. Perform meticulous tip cleaning, needle inspection, and micro‑cantilever/MEMS/vertical tip alignment using high‑magnification optical scopes. Troubleshoot yield drops linked to contact resistance or scrub anomalies to prevent wafer scrap.
• Inventory & Sub‑Assembly Readiness: Manage, audit, and reconcile critical spare parts inventory, consumables, and high‑wear components (e.g., vacuum cups, bellows, seals, relays). Rebuild, clean, and test sub‑assemblies offline to support rapid swap‑and‑go maintenance cycles.
• Data Trending & Floor Operations: Monitor SPC charts, error logs, and alarm histories to identify degrading tool performance before failure. Utilize Samsung MES and equipment tracking software to document maintenance interventions and deliver clear shift handovers.
