The Machine Operator works in a cleanroom semiconductor manufacturing environment, operating production equipment to process and test wafers on a night shift schedule (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday, 6:00 pm – 6:30 am). This role focuses on running finished wafers through various baths, heat treatments, and testing, packaging completed products, and transporting wafers while following strict safety, quality, and cleanliness standards.

• Run finished wafers through designated baths and testing processes according to established procedures.
• Operate heat treatment equipment to process wafers safely and accurately.
• Package finished wafers and products following defined quality and handling standards.
• Transport wafers within the facility while maintaining proper handling practices to prevent damage or loss.
• Exercise careful wafer handling skills to minimize breakage and loss due to carelessness.
• Complete batch divide process steps as needed to support production workflows.
• Load and unload wafers from production tools and equipment.
• Stage incoming work and materials as needed to ensure smooth production flow.
• Process wafers through post-clean operations, including accurate data entry into Excel spreadsheets and GIP, and loading process recipes into production tool computers.
• Collect and input production and quality data continuously and accurately.
• Maintain 5S protocol and follow organized workplace standards.
• Perform continuous housekeeping of process tools and surrounding floor and wall space to uphold cleanroom requirements.
• Conduct visual inspections of wafers, including front and back sides, to identify defects or irregularities.
• Perform pad changes and routine maintenance on assigned tools as directed.
• Prepare and deliver detailed pass-down reports at the end of each shift to communicate production status and issues to the next operator.
• Run multiple machines simultaneously once fully trained and proficient.
• Follow all safety requirements and procedures at all times while using manufacturing equipment and tools.
• Perform other related duties as assigned or directed to support production and quality objectives.

• Ability to be trained on new processes and apply instructions consistently.
• Ability to maintain excellent attendance and reliability on a night shift schedule.
• English speaking and reading skills sufficient to read process documents and understand written and verbal instructions.
• High level of teamwork and cooperation in a production environment.
• Ability to strictly follow safety requirements at all times.
• Understanding of basic math functions, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• High level of self-initiative with a strong desire to learn and be effective.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to listen carefully and follow procedures precisely.
• Ability to use manufacturing process equipment, a PC and peripherals such as printers and scanners, basic hand tools, and cleaning supplies and equipment.

• High school diploma or GED preferred.
• Prior cleanroom experience preferred.
• Experience or interest in machine operation, general production, or semiconductor manufacturing is beneficial.
• Comfort working in a structured, process-driven environment with documented procedures.
• Willingness to be cross-trained in multiple wafer manufacturing areas to expand skills and versatility.

This opportunity offers a pathway into a high-tech semiconductor environment, even for candidates with as little as six months of relevant experience. Team members receive cross-training across all wafer manufacturing areas, building a broad skill set and increasing long-term growth potential within the industry. The culture emphasizes learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement, providing a supportive environment for those who are motivated, detail-oriented, and eager to develop specialized technical skills.

The role is based in a cleanroom semiconductor manufacturing environment that requires the use of a cleanroom bunny suit and appropriate personal protective equipment. Work is performed on a night shift schedule (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday, 6:00 pm – 6:30 am), with training schedules that may differ depending on operational needs. The setting is highly controlled, with strict cleanliness, safety, and process adherence, and involves regular use of pr
