Intel Technician Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Details:Job Description: 

Intel Corporation is a global technology leader and one of the world's largest and most innovative semiconductor companies. For more than five decades, Intel has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing the advanced chips, platforms, and technologies that power the modern world - from artificial intelligence and cloud computing to autonomous vehicles, 5G connectivity, and next-generation personal computing.

With a bold vision for the future of semiconductor manufacturing, Intel is investing heavily in its U.S. fabrication capabilities - and ourOcotillo campus in Chandler, Arizonais central to that vision. Home to four of Intel's most advanced fabrication facilities -Fab 12, Fab 32, Fab 42, and Fab 52- the Ocotillo campus is where cutting-edge process technology meets world-class manufacturing execution. It is one of the most technologically sophisticated semiconductor manufacturing sites in the United States and a cornerstone of Intel's commitment to domestic chip production.

At Intel, we know that our people are the driving force behind every breakthrough. We are deeply committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative workplace - one where every team member is valued, supported, and empowered to grow their career while contributing to technology that genuinely changes the world.

Intel's Ocotillo campus is seeking a skilled, driven, and technically minded professional to join ourDedicated Emergency Response Team (DERT)as aModule Equipment Technician.

The DERT is an elite team of specialized technicians embedded within Intel's advanced fabrication facilities. Unlike standard maintenance roles, DERT technicians function asfirst responders for critical equipment events- mobilizing rapidly when tools go down, diagnosing complex failures under pressure, and restoring production with precision and urgency. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of technical expertise, problem-solving, and operational excellence.

In this position, you will maintain and troubleshoot some of the most sophisticated semiconductor manufacturing equipment in the world, working side by side with Intel's world-class engineering teams across Fab 12, Fab 32, Fab 42, and Fab 52. Every shift you work contributes directly to the production of Intel's most advanced chips - the technology that powers billions of devices and drives progress across every major industry on the planet.

This role operates on aCompressed Work Week (CWW) schedule, featuring 12-hour shifts that provide extended consecutive days off - giving you more flexibility, better work-life balance, and more time for the things that matter most to you outside of work.

Whether you are an experienced semiconductor technician, a skilled equipment maintenance professional from a related high-tech industry, or a military veteran with hands-on technical training, this is an exceptional opportunity to build a long-term career at one of the world's most respected technology companies.

Key Responsibilities

• Emergency Equipment Response:Act as a frontline first responder for critical equipment failures across Intel's Ocotillo fabrication facilities, rapidly assessing situations, diagnosing root causes, and implementing effective corrective actions to restore production with minimal downtime and yield impact.

• Preventative & Corrective Maintenance:Execute scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) programs and perform corrective maintenance (CM) on advanced 300mm semiconductor manufacturing equipment, ensuring tools operate consistently within defined process specifications and performance targets.

• Wafer Production Operations Support:Actively support all phases of wafer fabrication - including equipment operation, process step execution, and cross-functional training - to meet and exceed fab production objectives across advanced node manufacturing.

• Equipment Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis:Apply systematic diagnostic techniques and analytical problem-solving skills to identify the root causes of equipment malfunctions, process deviations, and yield excursions, driving sustainable corrective actions that prevent recurrence.

• Defect Reduction & Yield Improvement:Identify, analyze, and address sources of equipment-related defects and process variability, contributing to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance product quality, process consistency, and overall fab performance.

• Technical Documentation & Schematic Interpretation:Work proficiently from technical manuals, engineering specifications, schematics, wiring diagrams, and complex engineering drawings, utilizing a broad range of tools and test equipment to perform maintenance and troubleshooting tasks with accuracy and safety.

• Specification & Procedure Development:Collaborate closely with process engineers and equipment engineers to influence the creation, revision, and improvement of maintenance specifications, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and business processes that drive operational excellence across the fab.

• Cross-Functional Team Collaboration:Partner effectively with engineering teams, fellow technicians, and operations leadership to communicate equipment status, share technical insights, escalate issues appropriately, and contribute to a culture of continuous learning, safety, and high performance.

• Process Control System Monitoring:Utilize process control systems to monitor equipment performance, identify deviations from baseline parameters, and take proactive steps to maintain process stability and product quality.

The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits:

• Self-motivated

• Communication skills and to be comfortable presenting issues and solutions.

• Skills to work well in a diverse team environment and multitask.

• Skills to work with minimal supervision and adjust to rapidly changing priorities.

• Skills to produce results in a timely manner.

• Analytical problem solving and testing skills.

Compressed Work Week shifts tend to be 12-hour shifts from 6 to 6.
Shift 4 - Night front half of week - PM-AM Sun-Tues and alternating Saturday nights
Shift 5 - Days front half of week - AM-PM Sun-Tues and alternating Wednesday days
Shift 6 - Night back half of week - PM-AM Wed-Sat and alternating Saturday night
Shift 7 - Days back half of week - AM-PM Thurs-Sat and alternating Wednesday days
