TL;DR · Product Engineer IV

As a Product Engineer 4 within the Platform Global Product Support team, you will serve as the technical backbone for field engineers and technicians. You will provide high-level support to resolve complex issues involving electro/mechanical equipment, robotics, computer systems, software, and networked or wireless systems. Your daily responsibilities include diagnosing, troubleshooting, repairing, and debugging malfunctioning hardware and software while performing failure analysis. You will collaborate with engineering teams to report design bugs, create technical documentation, and lead customer training sessions in cleanroom lab or semiconductor fab environments. The role requires expertise in structured problem-solving methodologies like 8D, FMEA, and RCCA. To succeed, you must possess strong communication skills and a background in fields such as Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry to solve intricate problems within the semiconductor manufacturing industry.

What you'll do

  • Provide technical support to field engineers and technicians for complex electro/mechanical equipment and software systems.
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, repair, and debug malfunctioning semiconductor equipment and networked systems.
  • Perform failure analysis on issues that first-line product support is unable to resolve.
  • Report design, reliability, and maintenance bugs to engineering teams and collaborate on technical solutions.
  • Participate in customer installation processes and provide training for highly technical products.
  • Create and present reports regarding project escalations and technical problems to relevant factory groups.
  • Develop and update technical documentation for field service engineers and customers.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree with 8 years experience, Master's with 6 years, or PhD with 3 years in a relevant engineering or science field.
  • Experience troubleshooting and repairing complex electro/mechanical equipment, robotics, computer systems, and networked software.
  • Proficiency in structured problem solving methodologies such as 8D, FMEA, RC-CA, and 5-Whys.
  • Experience working with robotics and/or semiconductor equipment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English including strong presentation abilities.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team and maintain relationships in a multicultural environment.
  • Capability to work in a matrix environment while providing service-oriented support.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time.
