Here’s the Gist:

In this role you will join the Wets Engineering team at our Mohawk Valley Fab (MVF) — the world's largest 200mm SiC wafer fabrication facility — to sustain, optimize, and improve chemical-based wet process systems used in the manufacture of silicon carbide power devices. Your equipment portfolio will include automated batch immersion wet stations, spin scrubber/brush cleaning platforms, and closed-chamber batch spray systems.

The Day-to-Day:

• Conduct preventive maintenance (MTBPM), tool fingerprinting, and CIPs to meet tool availability goals; troubleshoot chemical delivery sub-systems and drive root cause analysis (RCA) on equipment excursions to prevent recurrence

• Create and maintain PM procedures, tool configuration records, and tool acceptance specifications; support tool selection decisions for capacity increases and process development/transfer

• Partner with process engineering and production to improve quality metrics, reduce scrap and rework, and drive cost reduction; present technical data and project updates to peers and management

• Champion chemical safety and EHS compliance for wet chemistry operations — including acids, bases, oxidants, and specialty chemistries — enforcing PPE and hazardous waste procedures

• Manage spare parts inventory and equipment BOMs; coordinate with vendors on technical escalations, parts sourcing, and field service support

This Job is Right for You if You Have (Minimum Requirements):

• A bachelor’s degree in engineering or related field with 2+ years of semiconductor experience

• Hands-on experience sustaining wet process equipment in a semiconductor wafer fabrication environment

• Demonstrated awareness of chemical safety protocols and safe handling practices for hazardous wet chemistry
