Support and optimize CVD platforms from AMAT, ASM, or LAM.
Understand interactions between process conditions, hardware health, defectivity, and yield.
Partner closely with process engineering to debug defects, uniformity loss, and process drift.

Fab Operations & Resource Management
Allocate engineering resources to daily assignments based on fab priorities and tool status.
Own machine availability and performance metrics for assigned CVD tools.
Balance corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, and improvement activities to support production demand.

Coaching & Team Development
Observe, coach, and mentor junior engineers and technicians directly on the fab floor.
Establish best practices for troubleshooting, diagnostics, and equipment recovery.
Provide technical guidance during high-pressure tool down or yield-impacting events.

Continuous Improvement & Data Analytics
Drive Continuous Improvement Projects (CIP) focused on hardware reliability, uptime, and cost reduction.
Lead structured data collection, failure trend analysis, and performance monitoring.
Generate clear documentation and reports capturing lessons learned and corrective actions.

Cross-Functional & Business Interface
Translate complex technical field issues into clear, actionable communication for Business Units.
Interface with equipment vendors to resolve systemic issues and drive design or hardware improvements.
