Responsibilities

  • Serve as an Equipment Specialist and technical escalation point for Field Service Engineers and customers.
  • Lead troubleshooting of complex semiconductor equipment and subsystem issues.
  • Act as the technical lead during critical equipment issues, collaborating with teams in the U.S. and Denmark.
  • Develop and implement Plans of Action for critical equipment issues.
  • Document troubleshooting activities, technical findings, and corrective actions.
