Equipment Engineer - Semicon Manufacturing Fab

Equipment Ownership & Maintenance

• Own and maintain assigned semiconductor manufacturing tools (Lithography, Etch, Diffusion, CVD, PVD, CMP, Implant, or Metrology).
• Ensure high equipment availability, reliability, and throughput to meet production schedules.
• Perform troubleshooting and root cause analysis (RCA) to resolve equipment and process-related issues.
• Reduce tool downtime by implementing preventive and predictive maintenance strategies.

Installation, Hook-up & Qualification

• Support tool installation, hook-up, and commissioning activities in coordination with vendors and facilities teams.
• Execute equipment qualification activities (IQ, OQ, PQ) and handover to production.
• Assist in technology transfer, new product introduction (NPI), and ramp-up activities.

Production & Process Support

• Provide day-to-day and on-call equipment support for 24x7 fab operations.
• Work closely with Process Engineering and Manufacturing teams to maintain process stability and yield.
• Monitor equipment health using SPC/FDC charts and drive corrective actions when deviations occur.

Preventive Maintenance & Documentation

• Develop, execute, and continuously improve preventive maintenance (PM) procedures.
• Maintain accurate equipment documentation, SOPs, PM checklists, and spare parts records.
• Ensure compliance with cleanroom protocols and operational standards.

Safety, Quality & Compliance

• Adhere to EHS guidelines related to hazardous chemicals, gases, electrical systems, and vacuum equipment.
• Ensure compliance with internal quality systems, ISO standards, and SEMI guidelines.
• Participate in safety audits, risk assessments, and incident investigations.

Continuous Improvement

• Drive cost reduction, productivity, and cycle-time improvement initiatives.
• Support automation, tool data analysis, and equipment performance optimization projects.
• Collaborate with global engineering teams and equipment suppliers for best-practice implementation.
