Are you ready to install, maintain and optimize the performance of the most advanced tools in the world?
Senior Hardware Engineer
What you will do
You will be in charge of the installation, preventive maintenance, and repair and optimization of the process equipment. You will set up improvement projects, which you evaluate afterwards.
You look for opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce the cost of maintaining the machines, without impacting their quality and availability.
You are a point of contact for technical questions about your equipment, and you perform first analyses if necessary to answer those questions.
In collaboration with the manufacturers and considering the need to our organization, you define the strategy of your tool set.
You help to install new process equipment and make sure the technical warehouse has enough spare parts and consumable resources.
For all the above, you collaborate closely with the service team of the equipment manufacturers and with your fellow process engineers and scientists.
You work in a shift system (alternating between an early/late shift and one weekend out of three).
You also have to know this: imec is an internationally pioneering R&D center. We collaborate with all the big electronics companies to find out how the chips of the future can be made. Key in this is our extremely advanced pilot production line for chips, which contains the process equipment you will work on. On this advanced equipment, we test our production processes. Only if those production processes work optimally and are stable, they will be transferred to the real chip factories.
