You will perform electro-mechanical assembly operations, troubleshooting, and repairs—and conduct audits to ensure necessary parts are available and inspected for defects. Using test fixtures, electronic measurement equipment, leak detectors, and vacuum pumps you’ll test assemblies, complete documentation, perform repairs, or install software to continuously improve our processes.

Role Responsibilities

• Use work orders (including schematics, wiring diagrams, parts lists, and instructions) to build, repair and/or test equipment of various kinds (electrical, electro-mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic assemblies, subassemblies and components).
• Work under moderate supervision to perform electro-mechanical assembly operations, troubleshooting and repairs.
• Receive parts and perform audits to ensure all necessary parts are available; inspect parts for defects; troubleshoot and improve processes.
• Use test fixtures, electronic measurement equipment, leak detectors and/or vacuum pumps to test assemblies, subassemblies and components.
• Complete required job documentation (data entry) about progress, work expense and labor details; perform computer programming, repair or software installs, if needed.

Minimum Qualifications

• A high school diploma.
• 1–2 years of semiconductor or display experience, or comparable industry or military experience.
• Ability to follow standard operating procedures (written and verbal).
• Knowledge of basic hand tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• An Associate’s degree or technical education, certifications, or trainings.
• A willingness to expand your skills within an analytical/scientific method or operational process.
• Solid analytical skills and the ability to problem-solve using established operating procedures or scientific methods.
• AS/EEET or related certification (e.g., ASSET).
• BSEET (DeVry, TSTC) or equivalent.

Physical Requirements

This is a physically demanding position that often requires standing for extended periods, walking, working in tight spaces, bending, squatting, twisting, kneeling, reaching, climbing stairs and ladders, lifting, the ability to distinguish between colors, and working in a noisy environment. It involves using hand and power tools and driving or operating heavy machinery including forklifts. Because this position may involve working in a clean room, the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment such as coveralls, hoods, booties, safety glasses, gloves, respirators, chemical aprons, and face shields may be required.
