Key Responsibilities

  • OwnEscalation projects from field in-fab repair teams in China
  • Drive issues to closure with clear technical ownership.
  • Manage multiple escalations and sites in parallel: Triage, prioritize, and sequence concurrent escalations across multiple customer sites based on customer impact, tool downtime, and business urgency — for both own workload and the field in-fab repair team's activities.
  • Project management: Plan and track escalation milestones, dependencies, and deliverables
  • Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders (field, HQ engineering, logistics, supply chain) to keep repair projects on schedule.
  • Root-cause analysis: Investigate failure modes using tool logs, repair history, engineering data, and field input

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Opto-Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline .
  • 5+ years of sustaining engineering, support engineering, or senior field service experience on semiconductor capital equipment (inspection, metrology, or similar precision tools preferred).
  • Hands-on troubleshooting experience at the board level — ability to debug PCBAs using schematics, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, and signal-integrity tools
  • Diagnose down to component level (power rails, clocks, digital/analog interfaces, FPGA/DSP signals).
  • Hands-on troubleshooting experience with opto-mechanical assemblies — alignment, calibration, and repair of precision optical paths, laser sources, sensors/detectors, mirrors, stages, and motion subsystems.
  • Strong project management skills — demonstrated ability to run multiple concurrent escalations/projects, prioritize effectively under pressure, set clear next steps for self and field teams, and communicate status to stakeholders at all levels.
