Engineering Technician II - Semiconductor
San Jose, CAMust be a US Citizen or Green Card Holder.
This role is specific to PVD tools (chambers, vacuum), so the candidate must have a prior background in PVD tools (chambers, vacuum).
Overview:
Are you seeking an opportunity to work with today's most advanced thin film processing tools? Anelva tools have been delivering cutting-edge performance in thin films deposition (PVD) and enabling our customers to manufacture the most advanced hard disks and volatile/nonvolatile memories. We have an exciting opportunity in San Jose, CA to directly interface with customers to support their Anelva equipment in the field, which includes troubleshooting and installations.
This position performs technical support of high vacuum equipment for PVD and related robotics. The individual must understand vacuum technology, general practices, and procedures within the semiconductor field and apply such skills fluently to perform field service duties at customers' clean rooms. In addition, provide on-call technical support, which may require off-shift work. This position requires full-time presence at your assigned office(s)/worksite(s).
Responsibilities:
Please Note:
This is a customer-facing role and requires compliance with customer policies and protocols, which may include COVID-19 vaccination and other measures relating to COVID-19.
Monitor, inspect, setup, calibrate, and maintain semiconductor process equipment in the field to prevent equipment downtime.
Troubleshoot hardware and software related issues and implement solutions.
Collect data for software related issues and discuss with headquarters in Japan.
Accurately document all maintenance activity and provide field service reports.
Install equipment control software and maintain record of software revision history.
Participate in the installation of equipment at customers' sites.
Monitor stock level of service parts and equipment to ensure adequate inventory is available for repair work.
Provide training and assistance to other technicians.
Effectively communicate with customers, Canon USA, and Canon-Anelva Japan employees.
Escalate serious or complicated repair problems to senior level team members.
Qualifications:
2-3 years of experience with PVD or semiconductor vacuum equipment with AS degree is required; bachelor's degree in engineering is preferred.
Candidates without AS or BS may be considered with equivalent experience in the same field.
Multi-chamber cluster systems and robotics experience is highly preferred.
Ability to understand electrical and mechanical drawings for troubleshooting.
Experience with PLC and other software applications is a plus.
Ability to work independently following 3-6 months of on-the-job training.
Must have analytical skills for problem analysis and resolution.
Job may require domestic travel up to 25% and international travel for training.
Position may require the ability to work flexible shifts.
Requires ability to lift approx. 50 lbs.
Bilingual communication skills helpful but not required (Japanese/English).
Substantial amount of standing, walking, typing, grasping, talking, and hearing.
Substantial amount of driving required, sometimes for multiple hours at a time.
Occasionally kneeling, crouching, stooping, reaching, pushing, pulling, and climbing stairs or ladder.
Working primarily in a cleanroom environment (wearing full cleanroom suit, facemask, gloves, safety glasses).
The work environment may include a variety of physical conditions such as proximity to moving mechanical parts, electrical current, working on scaffolding and high places, exposure to chemicals, ultraviolet light, and lasers, working in enclosed spaces, close quarters, narrow aisles or passageways.
The work environment may include working in highly time-sensitive situations requiring quick resolution including equipment problems.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
Experience with Semiconductor Process Equipment: Demonstrated 2-3 years of hands-on experience specifically in PVD or semiconductor vacuum equipment maintenance.
Technical Proficiency: Ability to troubleshoot hardware and software issues related to semiconductor equipment, interpret electrical and mechanical drawings for diagnostics, and maintain equipment control software.
Adaptability and Travel Readiness: Willingness and ability to travel domestically (up to 25%) and potentially internationally for training, along with flexibility in work shifts.
Physical Capability: Capability to lift approximately 50 lbs, work in cleanroom environments, and withstand physically demanding tasks associated with the role.
Bachelor's Degree in Engineering: A Bachelor's degree in engineering, preferably related to semiconductor technology or a relevant field - Nice to Have.
Multi-Chamber Cluster Systems and Robotics Experience: Prior experience in handling multi-chamber cluster systems and robotics within the semiconductor industry - Nice to Have.
PLC and Software Applications Proficiency: Experience working with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and additional software applications related to semiconductor equipment - Nice to Have.
Bilingual Communication Skills: Proficiency in Japanese and English languages for effective communication, especially if interacting with Canon-Anelva Japan employees - Nice to Have.
