Key Responsibilities

  • Ensures high uptime, ensures preventive maintenance (PM) execution, and seamless vendor coordination for resolving tools hardware and software issues. Primary advanced toolset coverage: Focused Ion Beam, Reactive Ion etchers, Nano‑probers, Scanning electron microscopes and Transmission electron microscopes
  • The role partners closely with equipment owners, lab operations, EHS, and external OEMs to sustain capability, drive MTBF/MTTR improvements, and enable rapid turns on high‑priority cases.
  • Design new lab space with strict environmental control involving vibration, EMI and acoustics.
  • Lead structured troubleshooting and root‑cause eradication (5‑Why, Ishikawa, FMEA); convert escapes into standard work and documented fixes
  • Serve as single point of contact for OEMs and third‑party service providers; coordinate field service, escalations, and remote diagnostics
  • Manage service contracts, PM bundles, and time‑and‑materials events; negotiate scope vs. cost; track vendor KPI adherence and corrective actions
  • Enforce LOTO, ESD, chemical/gas handling, UHV safety, and radiation/beam compliance as applicable
  • Partner with FA engineers on readiness gates for new methods/fixtures; support tool installation, lab moves, and capability upgrades
  • Provide on‑call/shift coverage as needed for bring‑up, critical debug, and factory‑stop events

Requirements

  • Hands on maintenance experience with complex capital equipment involving vacuum systems, motion/servo control, pneumatics, high voltage, and embedded SW/FW
  • Demonstrated ability in systematic troubleshooting, reading electrical/pneumatic schematics, and using diagnostic tools (oscilloscope, DMM, leak detector, RGA)
  • Effective communication with vendors and cross site teams; ability to coordinate multi party interventions under time pressure
  • Experience in failure analysis tools, including alignments, stage/probe calibration, column health, and detector
  • Knowledge of UHV, turbo/cryogenic pumps, gas handling, plasma sources, beam columns, and vibration/thermal isolation
  • Lab‑based role with occasional off‑shift or weekend coverage during critical events and planned PMs
  • Some travel for OEM training, factory repair, or acceptance tests may be required
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering (or Mechanical/Electrical with mechatronics focus)
