Mechanical Engineer — Semiconductor Fab Equipment

Roles & Responsibilities

Skill Applications

• Vacuum & Pneumatics: Turbomolecular pumps, dry pumps, and vacuum chamber maintenance
• Thermal / HVAC: Chiller systems and cooling module service — critical for etch and implant tools
• Precision Mechanics: Wafer handling, robot arm alignment, and precision actuator calibration
• Gas Flow & Piping: Gas delivery system installation, leak detection, and flow control

• Hydraulics & Actuation: Valve actuation, pneumatic control systems, and equipment mechanics

Assignment Highlights

• Perform installation, commissioning, and preventive maintenance on semiconductor process equipment at a leading Taiwan fab.
• Specialize in vacuum systems, chiller/cooling modules, precision mechanics, or gas delivery systems.
• Diagnose mechanical and electromechanical faults and carry out corrective maintenance to return equipment to spec.
• Coordinate with electrical and process engineers to resolve cross-discipline equipment issues.
• Maintain technical documentation, service records, and maintenance schedules.
• Uphold cleanroom and EHS standards in a controlled fab environment.

Qualifications

• Willing to be stationed in Taiwan (3-month rotation or 1-year assignment — see below).
• Diploma or Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Precision Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent.
• Hands-on mechanical experience in any sector — HVAC, marine/offshore, manufacturing, industrial machinery, medical devices, or similar.
• Comfortable reading technical drawings, P&IDs, and mechanical schematics.
• Practical troubleshooting instincts: you’ve fixed things with your hands, not just on paper.
• No semiconductor experience required — full semiconductor-specific training is provided.
• Fresh Mechanical Engineering graduates are encouraged to apply.

Company Propositions

• Full semiconductor equipment training covering the areas where your mechanical skills directly apply.
• Taiwan fab assignment with exposure to the most precise manufacturing environment in the world.
• Competitive salary, overseas allowances, and accommodation support.
• A genuinely rare opportunity: Mechanical Engineers are underrepresented in semiconductor — your skills are in genuine short supply.
• Career progression into Senior Engineer and Technical Specialist roles.
• Travel across Asia-Pacific — Philippines, Singapore, and beyond.
