A job at TSMC Arizona offers an opportunity to work at the most advanced semiconductor fab in the United States. TSMC Arizona’s first fab will operate it’s leading-edge semiconductor process technology (N4 process), starting production in the first half of 2025. The second fab will utilize its leading edge N3 and N2 process technology and be operational in 2028. The recently announced third fab will manufacture chips using 2nm or even more advanced process technology, with production starting by the end of the decade.

America’s leading technology companies are ready to rely on TSMC Arizona for the next generations of chips that will power the digital future.

As a Chemical Lab
Equipment Technician, you will demonstrate a strong sense of reliability and enthusiasm and will possess an attitude that embodies our core values – Integrity, Commitment, Innovation and Customer Trust.

As an Chemical Lab Equipment technician, you will play a critical role in ensuring the continuous operation and high precision of our state-of-the-art analytical chemical laboratories. In this specialized role, you will perform hands‑on preventive maintenance, first‑line troubleshooting, and calibration on advanced analytical instruments (such as ICP-MS, GC-MS, and chromatography systems). You will serve as the technical anchor for lab equipment stability, collaborating closely with instrument vendors and internal Facilities teams to minimize analytical downtime and support TSMC Arizona’s world‑class quality standards.

• Your core responsibilities include:
• Preventive Maintenance (PM) & Calibration:
  Perform scheduled PMs, routine cleaning, and precision calibrations on analytical instruments (e.g., ICP-MS, GC-MS, Ion Chromatography) to ensure baseline stability and ppt‑level (parts‑per‑trillion) detection sensitivity.
• First‑Line Troubleshooting & Escalation:
  Act as the first line of defense to minimize equipment downtime by diagnosing and resolving basic to intermediate technical issues on analytical laboratory instruments according to safety guidelines and SOPs. Perform standard troubleshooting; if unresolved, efficiently document failure details (such as error logs and symptoms) to elevate and coordinate with instrument vendors for advanced repairs.
• Lab Construction Coordination & Field Inspection (New Lab Startup):
  • Execute and support new laboratory setup projects based on engineering designs and specifications.
  • Inspect the field construction site to monitor progress, ensuring that the physical layout, floor load‑bearing setup, and clearances align with the engineering blueprint and equipment specs.
  • Coordinate directly with Facilities (FAC) teams and third‑party contractors on‑site to facilitate the accurate routing and installation of utilities (power, exhaust, drainage, and specialty gases).
  • Act as the eyes and ears on the construction field: perform safety walks, monitor contractor compliance with TSMC safety standards, and immediately elevate any deviations or utility installation bottlenecks to QR Engineers.
• Equipment Hook‑up Support & Commissioning:
  Assist in the setup of new laboratory instruments and new lab startup, including unboxing, precision positioning, and aligning machine‑side interfaces. Coordinate closely with the Facilities (FAC) team for utility connections (such as power, gases, drainage) and assist vendor with Site Acceptance Testing (SAT).
• Consumables & Chemical Inventory Tracking:
  Manage and track laboratory consumables (e.g., columns, nebulizers, tubing, reagents) and spare parts, maintaining accurate records using our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and computerized maintenance systems.
• Safety, Chemical Hygiene &…
