• Support daily manufacturing operations
• Monitor and sustain package assembly processes to ensure stable and efficient production
• Troubleshoot process and equipment issues in real time, driving immediate containment and resolution
• Escalate critical issues appropriately while maintaining continuity of operations
• Execute process adjustments during production and document outcomes
• Maximize productive time and minimize lot hold times
• Provide clear and structured handoffs to day shift teams, including issues encountered and actions taken
• Assist with data collection and basic analysis to support ongoing process improvements
• Contribute to longer‑term process or equipment improvements as experience grows

Required Expertise

• Bachelor’s or higher in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• 2–5+ years of experience in manufacturing, semiconductor, hardware engineering, or similar technical environments (can include internships, co‑ops, academic lab work)
• Experience troubleshooting processes or equipment in production or lab settings
• Ability to independently support operations with minimal supervision
• Strong judgment and problem‑solving skills, ownership mindset, and accountability
• Effective communication and collaboration skills

Experience in some of the following areas is helpful, but not required:

• Semiconductor manufacturing, advanced packaging, or assembly processes
