We are seeking a Senior Process Technician to own day-to-day operation of engineering and laboratory tools across multiple platforms. This individual will independently execute and prioritize process, metrology, and tool-monitor work, lead first-line troubleshooting and tool recovery, and partner with engineers on root-cause analysis. The role also serves as a technical resource and trainer for junior technicians, helping set the standard for safety, quality, and lab discipline.
The ideal candidate is highly organized, service-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities may shift throughout the day. Success in this role requires strong attention to detail, effective communication skills, and the ability to balance multiple tasks while maintaining a positive and collaborative attitude.
Key Responsibilities
Support daily laboratory operations by executing metrology measurements and data collection activities.
Perform FOUP preparation, wafer handling, and material movement in accordance with established procedures.
Independently run process and metrology jobs across two or more tool platforms, prioritizing work to meet engineering and customer deadlines.
Own weekly tool monitors and health checks; review results, identify out-of-spec trends, and initiate corrective action.
Assist engineers with experiment setup, sample preparation, and data gathering activities.
Run post-maintenance process qualifications and monitor wafers, confirming tools meet process specifications before release to engineering use; coordinate tool-down and maintenance needs with equipment engineering.
Track and prioritize multiple work requests from engineers and stakeholders.
Ensure accurate documentation of completed work, tool status, and laboratory activities.
Author and maintain procedures, work instructions, and checklists.
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe laboratory environment.
Lead first-line troubleshooting and recovery of tool issues (e.g., wafer stops, handling faults, process alarms), escalating with clear documentation when needed.
Collaborate with engineers on root-cause analysis and support cross-functional escalations.
Drive continuous improvement projects that increase lab throughput, uptime, or data quality.
