Job Description

The PLP Equipment Technician is responsible for the installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of semiconductor manufacturing equipment used in wafer-level packaging processes. This role ensures maximum equipment uptime, process stability, and adherence to safety and quality standards while providing technical leadership to junior technicians.

• Serve as the only trained personnel onsite during night hours, ensuring continuous monitoring of critical PLP tools and utilities.
• Respond immediately to any tool alarms, failures, or abnormal conditions, especially those involving wet processes and bulk chemical systems.
• Execute emergency shutdown, safety containment, or recovery procedures when incidents occur involving chemicals, utilities, or tool malfunctions.
• Perform first‑level troubleshooting for facilities‑related interruptions (e.g., power fluctuations, CDA excursions, vacuum issues, chilled water instability).
• Ensure equipment and chemical systems remain in a safe and stable state throughout non‑production hours.
• Coordinate with Facilities, EHS, and Engineering teams for escalations when critical conditions require additional expertise.
• Complete detailed incident logs and handover reports for Engineering and Production teams to review the next day.
• Support environmental and chemical safety compliance by conducting periodic checks of chemical cabinets, scrubbers, drains, exhaust, and containment systems.
• Act as the first responder in case of chemical spills, leaks, or safety alarms, given the absence of other staff on the line at night.
