As a Field Service Engineer, you’ll work in our state-of-the-art facility and at customer sites around the globe, where you are the face of Applied Materials and an integral part of a vibrant and diverse team.

Our senior-level Field Service Engineers work independently, and help train junior colleagues, to create and support the technology that the world relies on to manufacture semiconductor chips and related materials. You’ll work beside global customers to install, maintain and upgrade their Applied Materials equipment, delivering world-class support for multimillion-dollar production systems.

Role Responsibilities:

  • Complete required job documentation, safety training and procedures for processing parts

  • Professionally represent Applied Materials to the customer, using your “customer first” mindset

  • 7–10 years of work experience in semiconductor industry or another equipment support industry

  • Ability to read electrical and mechanical schematics, and an advanced knowledge of pneumatics, hydraulics, electronics, vacuum and/or thermodynamics

  • Strong knowledge of hand tools and proper usage, including a digital multimeter

  • Advanced knowledge of wafer processing parameters

  • Extensive knowledge of Applied Materials systems and company processes

  • Project management skills, and an ability to lead key customer and internal product meetings

  • You'll need a valid driver's license and the ability to obtain a passport

Physical Requirements:

  • Ability to support rotational shifts (e.g., nights and weekends, including holidays when applicable) based on customer needs

  • Travel for training and alternate customer sites, based on business needs (may include international travel)

  • Your job requires the ability to:

  • Climb stairs and ladders

  • Lift up to 35 pounds

  • Ability to distinguish between colors

  • Ability to work in an environment with noise that may be difficult for some individuals with sensitivity to noise

  • Use hand and power tools

  • Additionally, because this position generally involves working in a clean room, it requires the use of appropriate personal protective equipment such as coveralls, hoods, booties, safety glasses, gloves, respirators, chemical aprons, and face shields
