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.

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.
