Equipment engineer

We are looking for relevant to semiconductor/MEMS industry exprs . Relevant tools/tool vendors/processes: etch, deposition, ALS, gas systems, epitaxy vendors: Plasmatherm, Oxford, Veeco, AMAT etc. As mentioned more direct hands on equipment fixing than processing experience is needed.

Here are few semiconductor companies that might have suitable candidates:
Skyworks
TwinStar Semiconductor

Tower Semiconductor

NXP Semiconductor

Infineon

One Semiconductor

Analog Devices

Fabworks

KLA-Tencor
