Semiconductor Fab Equipment Field Service Technician

What your day looks like

Step onto the fab floor as the go-to expert who keeps production moving. You’ll arrive at customer sites prepared to install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair advanced semiconductor tools. Before power-on, you’ll dock, level, and interconnect CMP systems, perform preventive maintenance with minimal oversight, and work through diagnostics to restore uptime fast.

Role snapshot

• Complete all contracted preventive maintenance, corrective repairs, consumable swaps, installations, and start-ups at customer facilities or the service center.
• Interpret operating manuals and technical documents to pinpoint root causes of tool failures.

• Independently execute scheduled PMs and follow standardized service checklists and protocols to diagnose mechanical, hardware, software, and system issues.
• Order and expedite replacement parts; keep customers and management informed on status and next steps.
• Escalate design-related concerns to engineering and management to drive resolution.
• Serve as the customer’s primary technical contact for operational and maintenance questions.
• Under supervision, perform phase-one CMP tool installation activities (dock/level and interconnection) just prior to power-on.
• Guide fellow field technicians and field service engineers; train and mentor Field Service Technicians I–III.
• Assist with service center operations and support other customer locations as needed.
• Follow Finesse training and procedures for accurate parts usage and transactions.
• Comply with EBARA safety policies, complete required safety training, and maintain a clean, safe work area that meets EBARA and customer standards.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
