Required Skills: •Set up, load, start, monitor, and unload reliability stress tests like HTOL (high-temperature operating life), THB / THuB (biased and unbiased temperature-humidity), HTS (high-temperature storage), TC (temperature cycling) .. etc. •Run wafer-level reliability tests on automated probers, strictly per the test requirements defined by engineers. •Train and operate automated wafer probers; perform manual prober operations, alignment, and debug checks; teach new recipes and maintain existing ones as test requirements change. •Manage wafer movement through the lab tracking systems so test operations run without gaps. •Execute routine and minor preventive maintenance on stations, chambers, and instruments on schedule, using the site’s PM tracking system. •Triage station stoppages and act first-hand on hardware faults: cabling, contacts and connectors, chamber alarms and interlocks, instrument errors, prober faults. •Escalate to lab engineers and the test-software team with the symptoms, actions already taken, and supporting data when an issue is beyond technician scope. •Maximize lab output using constraint management: identify the bottleneck, keep it loaded, cut idle time between runs. Qualifications: •Strongly preferred — Minimum associate degree in a technical field; prior lab or manufacturing experience at a large semiconductor manufacturer; prior hands-on experience with automated wafer probers (like TEL, Cascade, or equivalent) and test instruments is a strong plus. •Also valued — Direct exposure to reliability stress testing (HTOL, TC, THB / THuB, HAST, HTS); background in small electrical device manufacturing or assembly; experience with MES, work-order, or PM tracking systems; experience scheduling and managing external calibration vendors. •This is a highly physical role. Candidates must be able to stand, walk, and move throughout the shift; lift and carry items weighing up to 30 lbs. perform repetitive-motion tasks; bend, reach, and work at bench height and inside equipment racks and chambers; and wear an ESD lab coat, conductive shoe straps, and safety glasses for the full shift.
