Silex Microsystems is the world’s leading pure-play MEMS foundry, customizing solutions for prominent global clients in industries such as pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, and automotive. We are currently looking for a Service Technician to join our Backend Area, helping to ensure the uptime of our machines.
About the team
The Backend area is a vital part of our production, where in the area we perform all outgoing quality control of our products, conducting electrical measurements and optical inspections. We also work with blade and stealth dicing, wafer thinning, and CMP (chemical mechanical planarization). There is a team of 19 people working in the Backend area, out of which four are working with service (three Service Technicians and one Maintenance Engineer).
About the role
As a Service Technician at Silex, you will play a crucial role in ensuring our high-tech equipment is operational in production through maintenance, operations, and service tasks, all conducted in cleanroom environments. The equipment you will work with involves electronics, pneumatics, mechanical systems, chemistry, and gases. You will collaborate with skilled colleagues, including area managers, process engineers, and operators.
Each day begins with a handover from the previous shift, after which tasks are planned and divided among the Service Technicians. There will be a mix of planned and unplanned service activities, and we are continuously working to improve the uptime of our machinery to reduce unplanned tool stops. We want you to participate in, and help drive, continuous improvements in the area.
The working hours for this position will be night shift, Monday night–Friday morning 22:30–07:00. For the first couple of months you will receive training on another shift (day, evening) and then transfer to the night shift. You will be the only Service Technician from Backend on the shift, but there will be Service Technicians present working in other areas of the fab as well as operators running our machines.
In this role, you will
Perform preventive maintenance on equipment.
Carry out diagnostics, troubleshooting, and repairs on machinery.
Be responsible for scheduled and unscheduled service activities.
Coordinate service activities within the area alongside the area manager and other service technicians.
Support new installations as well as modifications and upgrades of existing machines.
Ensure that equipment and machinery follow Silex’s policies for providing a safe work environment.
We are looking for someone who
Has 3+ years' work experience in equipment service and maintenance within an industrial environment.
Can troubleshoot effectively, using both electrical and mechanical understanding of the equipment.
Is able to read electrical drawings and use them to aid in troubleshooting.
Has good reading skills in Swedish; speaking Swedish is an advantage.
Is proficient in English, both written and spoken.
Is able to work independently and lead oneself.
Works in a meticulous, structured, and detail-oriented way.
Has the drive and curiosity to learn and grow together with Silex.
