Carry out maintenance and repair of a wide spectrum of semiconductor electronic equipment
Perform equipment qualification to ensure tools meet performance and safety requirements
Serve as an active member of the site Emergency Response Team
Ensure all work is completed in line with defined quality, safety, and cleanroom standards
