Ebara Technologies Usa

Semiconductor Equipment Field Service Specialist

Picture your morning starting at a customer fab: you review the maintenance plan, pull up the customer’s system to check prior downtime notes, and suit up for a scheduled preventive service. By midday, you’ve swapped consumables, verified system performance, and logged every step. The afternoon brings a new challenge—an unexpected hardware alarm. You consult operation manuals, run through service checklists, isolate the fault, replace a component, and validate the fix. Before heading out, you update reports for product movement and justify on-site work, notify the customer about a pending parts replacement, and confirm everything is safe and clean per EBARA and site policies.

What you’ll handle

• Install, start up, maintain, and repair company tools at customer facilities and at the service center, covering contracted preventive maintenance, unscheduled calls, consumable changes, and new equipment installations.
• Use operation manuals and technical references to pinpoint root causes of tool issues and performance drift.
• Document all preventive work, downtime, issues encountered, and time-on-task; prepare reports supporting product movement and on-site service justification, while demonstrating proficiency with the customer’s reporting systems.
• Independently execute preventive maintenance activities with minimal supervision.
