DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
The Production Technician is the highest level of Operator and works exclusively with state-of-the-art 300 mm manufacturing operations. The ability to learn to operate new equipment and follow new processes has been demonstrated at the highest level. The Production Technician is able to operate manufacturing equipment in more than one process and is capable of recognizing process improvement opportunities. Knowledge of manufacturing equipment and processes is sufficient to understand and resolve moderately complex production issues, provide preventive maintenance and make routine repairs. The Production Technician applies advanced problem solving and analytical thinking skills to troubleshoot non-routine production issues.
WORKING CONDITIONS
Work is indoors in a wide variety of manufacturing areas, including cleanroom environments. Depending on assignment, the Production Technician may be exposed to high noise levels and may work in proximity to a vast array of chemicals, including acids, gases, caustics, lubricants and coolants. Technicians must be willing to travel on an occasional basis, including travel to facilities in Japan for training. Technicians may be asked to work overtime shifts, occasionally at short notice. Technicians must be willing to work either day or night 12 hour shifts on a compressed work week.
