A new paradigm of computing
Magic Leap is a pioneer in Augmented Reality (AR) optics, display systems, platforms, devices services, prototyping and manufacturing capabilities. We are known for our unmatched optics stack and have developed ultra-lightweight waveguides and display systems that advance what is possible in AR. With more than a decade of experience in AR innovation, we have made groundbreaking advancements in text legibility, color fidelity and rich digital content visuals while continually expanding the field of view to create engaging, immersive AR experiences.
Magic Leap could be your place if you want to be part of a united team where everyone is empowered and trusted to make an impact. At Magic Leap, you can explore innovative solutions and use your talents to solve real-world problems. Working alongside industry experts, you can grow your skills while helping make our technology available to millions of people as a partner in the AR ecosystem. We know that successful change and progress accelerates diverse perspectives. As we shape our future, everyone's voice matters. Together, we can reimagine the world of work and, with our bold partners, make the impossible possible.
The opportunity
As a Senior Equipment Engineering Technician (Etch) within our Manufacturing Engineering team, you will play a critical role in maintaining and optimizing plasma etch systems that are essential to our waveguide manufacturing process. This is a highly hands-on role focused on maximizing tool uptime, resolving complex failures, and driving performance improvements in a cleanroom environment.
You will partner closely with Equipment Engineering, Process Engineering, and Operations teams to support high-volume manufacturing and ensure stable, repeatable tool performance.
What you'll do
  • Perform advanced troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance on plasma etch systems (Plasma-Therm or similar dry etch tools)
  • Diagnose and resolve issues across vacuum systems, RF power delivery, gas flow systems, and plasma processes
  • Troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic subsystems, including motors, pumps, valves, sensors, and PLC-controlled systems
  • Support tool recovery and uptime efforts, minimizing downtime in a high-volume manufacturing environment
  • Execute and continuously improve preventive and corrective maintenance procedures
  • Partner with Process and Equipment Engineers on tool optimization, experiments, and process stability improvements
  • Analyze equipment performance data to identify root cause and recurring failure modes
  • Support vendor interactions and escalations, including remote diagnostics and onsite service coordination
  • Train and mentor junior technicians; develop SOPs and technical documentation
  • Ensure compliance with cleanroom and safety protocols

What you'll bring
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience supporting semiconductor manufacturing equipment, with a strong preference for etch tools
  • Direct experience with plasma etch systems (Plasma-Therm, Lam, Applied Materials, or similar)
  • Strong understanding of vacuum systems, RF / plasma systems, gas delivery, and process tool integration
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot complex systems across electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic domains
  • Experience with PLC systems, sensors, alarms, and system-level diagnostics
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, high-urgency manufacturing environment
  • Familiarity with cleanroom operations and protocols
  • Experience documenting maintenance and work orders in systems such as CMMS or equivalent

It's exciting if you also have
  • Experience specifically with Plasma-Therm etch tools
  • Prior support of high-volume semiconductor or advanced manufacturing environments
  • Experience with RF matching networks, mass flow controllers (MFCs), and vacuum pumps (turbo/roughing)
  • Exposure to process troubleshooting alongside engineering teams
