- Act as the final escalation point when standard troubleshooting paths are exhausted, delivering clear, executable solutions under time‑critical conditions.
- Support customer installations, system recoveries, and performance optimization at customer sites when deep technical intervention is required.
- Collaborate closely with R&D, engineering, and product teams by feeding back design, reliability, and serviceability insights to drive continuous product improvement.
- Deliver technical training and knowledge transfer to field engineers and internal teams to strengthen global support capability.
- Engage directly with customers to resolve highly technical issues and ensure optimal system performance and uptime.
- Travel domestically and internationally (up to 50%) to support field operations, customer escalations, and critical projects.
What we are looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, preferably Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
- 8+ years experience, with strong exposure to semiconductor equipment or manufacturing environments
- Minimum 3 years of hands‑on experience with PECVD in semiconductor manufacturing or equipment environments.
- Strong understanding of electro‑mechanical systems, vacuum systems, and software‑controlled semiconductor equipment.
- Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical problems in high‑pressure, customer‑facing situations.
- Excellent analytical and structured problem‑solving skills.
- Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
- Strong presentation and discussion skills, with confidence leading technical reviews and escalation meetings.
- Willingness and ability to travel up to 50% globally.
- Customer‑focused mindset with the resilience to remain effective during critical, time‑sensitive escalations.
What sets you apart
- Deep expertise in PECVD process fundamentals and tool behavior, beyond standard operational troubleshooting.
- Experience acting as a global escalation owner or senior technical authority in product support or service organizations.
- Strong collaboration skills with R&D and design teams to influence product reliability and maintainability improvements.
- Proven ability to balance hands‑on technical execution with clear documentation and knowledge sharing.
