  • Ability to work in a cleanroom environment and follow strict safety, quality, documentation, and procedural requirements.
  • Solid computer, basic math, written communication, and verbal communication skills, including the ability to enter data accurately and understand test results, specifications, and production documentation.
  • Ability to work a compressed work week shift from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., including schedule flexibility based on business needs.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with wafer-level electrical test, probe systems, parametric test, DC test, PCM test, metrology, AOI, inspection, or semiconductor manufacturing execution systems.
  • Familiarity with semiconductor wafer handling, cleanroom practices, ESD controls, SPC, test specifications, and controlled documentation.
  • Experience identifying abnormal test results, equipment issues, product defects, or process concerns and escalating them appropriately.
  • Experience supporting engineering qualifications, product transfers, new tool releases, or process improvement activities.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively with technicians, supervisors, engineers, equipment teams, and quality personnel.
Key Competencies
  • Safety-first mindset and commitment to procedural compliance
  • Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy
  • Quality-focused decision making and timely escalation
