Microelectronics Technician - 2nd shift

Space

X was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today Space

X is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

MICROELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN - 2ND SHIFT

Space

X is developing a low latency, broadband internet system called Starlink, which is the world’s largest constellation of highly advanced satellites operating in a low orbit around the Earth. As a Microelectronics Technician you will be joining a small team that supports the production of highspeed RF and optical modules that is instrumental in achieving high-speed internet for the world’s most advanced internet system.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Operate, maintain, and calibrate microelectronics equipment with rigorous attention to detail, accuracy, precision, and efficiency in an ESD cleanroom environment.
• Produce high-mix, medium-volume high frequency RF products working with large number of unique tool sets and semiconductor dies with high tolerance stacking
• Read, interpret, and work from electrical schematics and mechanical drawings as well as industry standard documentation such as MIL-Spec and JEDEC-Spec.
• Perform tool set up and machine calibration on die attach machine related to pick-up/stamping collet and dispense needle
• Perform tool set up and machine calibration on an automated ball bonder machine related to wire spool, capillary, and EFO (electric flame off) wand
• Execute DOE (design of experiment) on epoxy selection, plasma recipes, bondline thickness, and wirebond integrity
• Perform process verification by measuring epoxy void, wirebond loop height, and pull/shear force on die/wirebond using various metrology instruments such as CSAM, Xray, 3D profilometer, pull/shear tester, contact angle goniometer
• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, RF, and manufacturing engineering team to improve manufacturing processes for microelectronics and future designs
• Perform root cause analysis and suggest corrective actions, such as machine, design, and tooling changes
• Initiate process improvements and collaborate with equipment and tooling suppliers on-site
• Identify continuous improvement opportunities for yield, performance, and cost
• Work autonomously in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding start-up atmosphere.
• Maintain safe and efficient operations by enforcing proper workflow, safety, organization and inventory control
• Promote 5S principles of organizing and sustaining a clean, tidy workspace
• Use workstation/computer to correspond to engineer, specialist, and other technicians via MS office suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook) and perform tasks with shop floor management software (ERP)

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• High school diploma or equivalency certificate
• 1+ years of experience working in an electronics manufacturing environment
