Etch Equipment Engineer (f/m/d)

Black Semiconductor is looking for a motivated and hands-on Etch Equipment Engineer (f/m/d) to join our semiconductor fab team. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or early-career engineer to develop technical expertise while supporting the installation, qualification, maintenance, and continuous improvement of dry etch manufacturing equipment within our state-of-the-art semiconductor facility.

• Support the installation, qualification, and startup of new semiconductor process and manufacturing equipment.
• Complete the onboarding and technical training program, developing the knowledge and skills required to support semiconductor manufacturing equipment independently.
• Perform preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair of dry etch equipment to minimize downtime and maximize tool uptime.
• Monitor equipment performance and utilize statistical process control (SPC) methods to identify, analyze, and resolve equipment-related issues.
• Analyze equipment and process data using data analytics tools to support assigned projects and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance equipment reliability, throughput, safety, and overall cost of ownership.
• Collaborate closely with Process Engineering, Manufacturing, and Facilities teams to achieve production goals and execute equipment-related improvement projects.
• Drive root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for equipment failures and recurring technical issues.
• Gradually take ownership of assigned tasks and small projects with decreasing supervision, while proactively seeking guidance when needed.
• Work with equipment vendors and internal stakeholders to support equipment upgrades, modifications, and qualification activities.

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
• Recent graduate or up to 2 years of relevant experience. Internship, research, or hands-on laboratory experience in a semiconductor manufacturing or fab environment is an advantage but not required.
• Basic understanding of equipment systems, including mechanical, electrical, vacuum, gas, or fluid handling systems, along with a structured troubleshooting approach.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret equipment and process data using data-driven methodologies. Experience with SPC or other analytical tools is an advantage.
• Ability to troubleshoot technical problems, exercise sound judgment, and recognize when to seek guidance from more experienced team members.
• Hands-on, proactive mindset with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Ability to adapt priorities and responsibilities to support changing business needs in a dynamic startup environment.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.
• Fluency in English.
