We are seeking a Technical Trainer to join our team in San Jose. In this role, you will bridge the gap between complex engineering and hands-on application, developing and delivering comprehensive training on high-end photolithography equipment. You won't just be behind a lectern; you’ll be in the cleanroom and the lab, ensuring our equipment is operational and our customers—both internal and external—are masters of the technology. This role is a 70/30 split between active training delivery and course development, offering a dynamic environment for someone who loves to stay "hands-on" with hardware while mentoring others. Key Responsibilities: Deliver Expert Training: Conduct classroom and laboratory sessions on the operation, preventive maintenance, application, and installation of photolithography systems. Curriculum Development: Design and revise technical training materials, ensuring all lesson plans and procedures are accurate and up-to-date. Technical Maintenance: Manage the operation and maintenance of our San Jose training facilities and cleanroom equipment to ensure they are "demo-ready." Field Support: Verify technical procedures to support field service technicians and provide detailed technical presentations as needed. Customer Liaison: Partner with customers to assess training needs, gather feedback, and ensure our programs meet the evolving demands of the semiconductor industry. Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related technical science field. 5 years of related work experience (minimum 3 years in a technical capacity). Must Have: Proven experience as a Field Service Engineer or Technical Instructor within the semiconductor industry. Must Have: Hands-on hardware experience (e.g., robot replacement, troubleshooting, use of mechanical/electrical hand tools). Skills & Environment: Cleanroom Proficiency: Comfortable working in a fab/cleanroom environment (requiring full bunny suit, mask, gloves, and safety glasses). Communication: Ability to translate complex physics and engineering concepts into digestible information for both engineers and customers. Software: Proficiency in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) for course development. Physical Requirements: Close visual acuity for inspecting small parts/defects and the ability to perform mechanical assembly. Travel & Schedule: Travel: Ability to travel up to 30%–50% (primarily domestic, with occasional international trips of 1–2 weeks). Flexibility: Willingness to work flexible shifts as required by training schedules. License: Must possess a valid driver’s license and an acceptable driving record. Eligibility: Must be authorized to work in the US without sponsorship. Competitive Compensation: Salary commensurate with mid-senior level engineering expertise. Professional Growth: Opportunity to become a subject matter expert on industry-leading photolithography technology. Collaborative Culture: Work alongside a highly skilled team of engineers and technical experts in a state-of-the-art facility. Impact: Play a critical role in the success of our customers by ensuring their teams are world-class operators.
