Job Description:

The Role:

Our Colorado Springs facility is seeking a detail-oriented and hands‑on Manufacturing Technician I to join our Production team. In this entry‑level role, you will be trained to support the cleaning, inspection, finishing, measurement, and assembly of high‑precision EUV components by following detailed work instructions and quality standards. Responsibilities may include ultrasonic and manual cleaning, visual inspection, basic mechanical assembly, sanding, and finishing processes, and tracking work in manufacturing systems.

This role may be performed in a clean‑room and controlled production environments and emphasizes safety, accuracy, and consistent execution. Manufacturing Technician I employees may be cross‑trained in multiple production areas, including EUV assembly and machining finishing operations, based on business needs and certification progression.

Perform ultrasonic cleaning, pre‑inspection, and manual cleaning of EUV pod bases and covers by following documented work instructions, cleanliness standards, and safety procedures to ensure product quality and readiness. Support EUV assembly operations by assisting with basic mechanical assembly tasks, using fixtures and hand tools, and working alongside experienced technicians to build technical skills and process knowledge. Perform visual and cosmetic inspections using approved aesthetics standards, identify potential defects, and elevate concerns appropriately to support quality consistency and defect review processes.

Support finishing and second‑operation activities as trained, which may include sanding, masking, bead blasting, and final washing of parts in accordance with approved procedures and certification level. Track work accurately using manufacturing systems (e.g., MES, SAP, Cam Line), including scanning serial numbers, completing checklists, documenting pass downs, and maintaining traceability throughout the production process. Complete packaging, bagging, and labeling activities by preparing materials, printing dome and RFID labels, performing door torque testing, and verifying documentation to ensure safe handling and shipment of finished products.

Maintain a clean, organized, and compliant work area by following cleanroom protocols, applying 5S principles, and adhering to safety, recycling, and escalation guidelines. Participate in cross‑training across EUV assembly, machining‑finishing, and packaging operations to support workflow flexibility and business needs. Communicate potential hazards, safety concerns, near misses, or incidents immediately to a supervisor. Promote a safe working environment and demonstrate Entegris PACE Values—People & Teamwork, Accountability & Integrity, Creativity & Innovation, and Dedication to Excellence—through reliable execution, teamwork, and continuous learning.
