Position Summary

Join a global leader in the semiconductor industry, known for pioneering high-performance power management solutions across electric vehicles, energy storage, consumer electronics, and industrial applications. This company integrates advanced IC design, power semiconductor process technology, and wafer fabrication to deliver devices used in everything from smartphones to renewable energy infrastructure.


Their Hillsboro-based wafer fab is seeking a highly skilled Equipment Maintenance Technician to support production in a high-volume, fast-paced cleanroom environment.


Key Responsibilities

  • Perform preventative and corrective maintenance on a wide variety of semiconductor equipment.
  • Focus on root cause troubleshooting, not just routine servicing—identify and resolve issues in electrical, mechanical, vacuum, gas, fluid, software, and robotic systems.
  • Prioritize work in coordination with production and process engineering to minimize tool downtime.
  • Actively contribute to tool performance improvements and cost-saving initiatives.
  • Maintain up-to-date certifications and participate in emergency response efforts when required.
  • Complete detailed verbal and written passdowns during shift changes.


Preferred Qualifications & Skills

  • 2+ years of experience in equipment maintenance, ideally on Thin Films or similar semiconductor toolsets.
  • Solid background in diagnostics and troubleshooting—you should be just as comfortable with schematics, RF calibration tools, leak detectors, and oscilloscopes as you are with a wrench.
  • Technical associate degree, military training, or equivalent hands-on experience preferred.
  • Familiarity with platforms such as:
  • Applied Materials (Endura PVD, IMP-Ti, CVD TiN, Centura HDP, RTP)
  • Novellus C2 Sequel, Shrink, or Express
  • KLA/Tencor metrology tools
  • Willingness and ability to work a compressed night shift schedule (Wed–Fri + alternating Saturdays).
  • Capable of lifting 50 lbs and working in cleanroom and shop floor environments.
  • Must be eligible for respirator certification.


Equal Opportunity Employer

This company is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected status.
