• Qualify and support manufacturing equipment to maximise uptime and capacity.
• Analyse process and equipment data to identify and resolve issues.
• Support NPI, technology transfer, and cross-functional engineering projects.
• Produce technical documentation, procedures, and training materials.
• Troubleshoot process and equipment problems in a cleanroom manufacturing environment.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Strong Photolithography process knowledge
• Experience in semiconductor, photonics, MEMS, optoelectronics, silicon photonics, or other advanced manufacturing environments.
• Knowledge of:Statistical Process Control (SPC)
• Design of Experiments (DOE)
• Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing
• Root cause analysis
• Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) (desirable)
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and within multidisciplinary teams.
• HNC/HND or Degree (BSc/MSc/PhD) in Semiconductor Technology, Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related field.
