This entry-level manufacturing role focuses on cleaning and maintaining large industrial machinery used in crystal growing and semiconductor manufacturing. You follow complex, detailed procedures and documentation to safely clean equipment, manage graphite part replacement, and complete machine clean records and daily 5S tasks accurately and on time. The position requires strong attention to detail, adherence to strict safety and quality standards, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced production environment.

• Follow complex, detailed procedures and documentation to complete daily cleaning of large industrial machinery without damage and within established timelines.
• Perform thorough cleaning of equipment and surrounding areas to meet clean room 5S standards, ensuring a highly organized and contamination-controlled work area.
• Manage graphite part replacement, including handling, tracking, and documenting parts used during machine maintenance and cleaning activities.
• Review daily machine clean lists and create a schedule for when various cleans and maintenance tasks are required, prioritizing work to meet production needs.
• Use a computer keyboard and software tools to input data, track work, and complete computerized forms related to graphite part replacement and machine cleaning.
• Continuously monitor and verify that all data, setups, and processes meet quality and area requirements during each step, after each process, and before moving to the next step.
• Understand and follow product specifications, Standard Work Procedures (SWPs), Response Flow Charts (RFCs), control charts, and other documentation related to assigned processes.
• Report and take action to prevent or stop variations, errors, or lapses in quality, ensuring that quality issues are promptly reported, corrected, and not repeated.
• Identify and communicate suggestions for process and safety improvements to supervisors or appropriate personnel.
• Apply basic math skills to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and compute percentages and decimals using a calculator for production and quality-related tasks.
• Understand and follow all safety regulations, including proper use of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and recognition of danger points in the process.
• Immediately report all on-the-job accidents, injuries, and unsafe conditions, and request guidance or training when needed to ensure a safe work environment.
• Use Lock Out / Tag Out (LOTO) procedures to ensure machines are properly de-energized when required for cleaning, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
• Operate lift equipment to safely load, unload, raise, lower, and transport materials, products, and other equipment as part of the cleaning and production process.
• Complete training on various handling tools for heavy parts and apply that training to safely move, lift, and position components.
• Move, lift, and open boxes filled with graphite parts weighing approximately 10 to 200 pounds, using proper techniques and equipment.
• Push carts on wheels weighing between approximately 20 pounds and up to approximately 275 pounds to transport materials within the facility.
• Cut open, lift, and move bags containing approximately 11 pounds of poly silicon rock pieces up to about 300 times during a 12-hour shift.
• Move an average of 4,400 pounds of material within a 12-hour period twice (loading and unloading), using appropriate tools and equipment.
• Exert pressure on robotic equipment buttons to stop, start, and command movements or actions as required by the cleaning and production processes.
• Lift and move objects from low to higher positions or horizontally from place to place, including while kneeling, bending, or crouching as tasks require.
• Perform repetitive motions such as grasping, reaching, pushing, and pulling throughout the shift while handling parts and operating tools.
• Stand, walk, and frequently use stairs for extended periods during 12-hour shifts in a busy production environment.
• Work overtime when required for on-call coverage, vacations, absences, or other mandatory coverage needs.
• Use close visual inspection within arm's length to safely inspect equipment and parts, identify errors or defects, and verify data and documentation.
• Prepare, analyze, and interpret data through extensive reading and visual inspection of small parts, fabrication details, words, and numbers.
• Operate basic office and communication equipment such as calculators, copiers, scanners, cell phones, and telephones to support production and documentation tasks.
• Communicate effectively in English with management and coworkers, both verbally and in writing, to clarify instructions, report issues, and coordinate work.
• Read, comprehend, and explain instructions, procedures, technical and informational manuals, reports, and correspondence for yourself and others.
• Work collaboratively in a team-oriented manufacturing environment,…
