Full Job Posting

Who You Are

  • A hands-on equipment engineer who would rather be at the tool than in a meeting.
  • Systematic about failure: you fix the cause, not the symptom, and you check that it held.
  • Decisive when a tool is down and the line is waiting.
  • A straight communicator with process, production, facilities, EHS, and vendors.
  • Detail-oriented about alignment, print quality, and wafer breakage at the most fragile point in the line.
  • A bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, or Mechatronics Engineering, or an associate degree with equivalent hands-on experience.
  • 3+ years of hands-on equipment engineering in semiconductor, solar, or similar high-volume manufacturing.
  • Hands-on repair of screen printers, belt dryers, or firing furnaces, including print heads, squeegees, screen and stencil mounting, vision alignment, belt drives, and thermal zones.
  • Component-level troubleshooting from electrical schematics, pneumatic drawings, P&IDs, and PLC/HMI diagnostics.
  • A track record of eliminating a chronic equipment failure, not just repairing it again.
  • Safe working practice with metallization pastes and solvents, high-temperature belt furnaces, and LOTO.
  • The T1 Way
  • We move fast, expect accountability, and treat people with respect. We also have a no-jerks policy: we don't tolerate big egos, bad behavior or "that's not my job attitude". Be sharp, be honest, be human. If you can hold the line and have a sense of humor, you'll fit right in.
  • T1 Energy is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants and do not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristics.

Qualifications

  • A bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, or Mechatronics Engineering, or an associate degree with equivalent hands-on experience.
  • 3+ years of hands-on equipment engineering in semiconductor, solar, or similar high-volume manufacturing.
  • Hands-on repair of screen printers, belt dryers, or firing furnaces, including print heads, squeegees, screen and stencil mounting, vision alignment, belt drives, and thermal zones.
  • Component-level troubleshooting from electrical schematics, pneumatic drawings, P&IDs, and PLC/HMI diagnostics.
  • A track record of eliminating a chronic equipment failure, not just repairing it again.
  • Safe working practice with metallization pastes and solvents, high-temperature belt furnaces, and LOTO.
  • Preferred: solar cell (TOPCon, PERC, or HJT) or semiconductor fab experience.
  • Preferred: greenfield tool install, SAT, and ramp experience.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Preferred: solar cell (TOPCon, PERC, or HJT) or semiconductor fab experience.
  • Preferred: greenfield tool install, SAT, and ramp experience.

Responsibilities

  • Own OEE, availability, MTBF, and MTTR for your toolset.
  • Be first on the tool when it goes down. Make it safe, diagnose the failed component, and restore it. When you escalate to the vendor, bring clear data.
  • Close root cause on chronic failures, wafer breakage, and leaks using 8D, FMEA, and Pareto, and verify the fixes hold.
  • Analyze alarm histories, maintenance records, and tool data in JMP, SQL, Python, or Excel to spot failure trends before they cause downtime.
  • Own the PM schedule, refine vendor PM procedures, and set critical-spares levels, then adjust both from failure history.
  • Keep interlocks, over-temperature protection, exhaust and abatement interfaces, and paste and solvent handling controls working across the print line. You’ll do this together with EHS.
  • Work with Process Engineering on print alignment, wet weight, screen and stencil life, and firing profile hardware.
  • Bring tools through install, SAT, and qualification into production. Write down the procedures and train the technicians who run them.
