This is a PROCESS technician, not equipment maintenance: rate up photolithography process techs, process specialists and lithography engineering techs who disposition material, run OCAPs, analyze failed lots and use SPC. Semiconductor fab experience required. Photolithography (coat/develop tracks, steppers/scanners, CD/overlay metrology) is a plus, NOT a must-have (client confirmed 10/22); don't mark candidates down for lacking litho or specific tool brands. Must have an AA in science/math/related OR clear equivalent process-specialist experience.
Working SPC and statistics knowledge is required. Pure operators who only run lots and don't analyze or disposition are a weak fit (3 or lower). Must be OK with permanent night shift (6 PM-6 AM, Thu-Sat + every other Wed). Strong communicators and technical writers rate higher. Pay goes up to $50/hr, so experienced process techs and early-career engineers are within range.
