Full relocation assistance and UK Visa sponsorship are available for the successful candidate where required.
The Role
Reporting into the Engineering leadership team, you'll take ownership of critical epitaxy manufacturing equipment, ensuring maximum equipment reliability, uptime and performance within a high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment.
Working closely with Manufacturing, Process Engineering and external equipment suppliers, you'll support both day-to-day production and longer-term engineering improvement projects.
Responsibilities include:
- Maintaining, troubleshooting and repairing advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
- Supporting MOVPE, MOCVD and related epitaxy manufacturing systems.
- Leading equipment reliability and continuous improvement projects.
- Supporting installation, commissioning and optimisation of new capital equipment.
- Fault finding on complex electro-mechanical, pneumatic, vacuum and control systems.
- Working with high-vacuum reactors, pumps, gas delivery systems and associated infrastructure.
- Managing preventative maintenance programmes to maximise equipment availability.
- Supporting equipment suppliers and external service engineers during upgrades and installations.
- Managing spare parts, consumables and engineering inventories.
- Contributing to site shutdowns, major maintenance activities and technical problem solving.
