“Your industry gave you the skills. Semiconductor will give you the future.”
Roles & Responsibilities
Skill Applications
- Oil & Gas / Marine: Vacuum systems, gas handling, pressure control, offshore maintenance discipline.
- Aerospace / Defense: Precision mechanics, cleanroom awareness, rigorous documentation standards.
- Automotive / Manufacturing: Production line uptime, root cause analysis, planned maintenance systems.
- HVAC / Facilities: Chiller/cooling systems, gas flow, thermal management — core semiconductor needs.
- Industrial Automation: PLC/control systems, robot maintenance, electromechanical troubleshooting
Assignment Highlights
- Perform on-site installation, commissioning, and preventive maintenance of semiconductor process equipment at a leading Taiwan fab.
- Apply your existing troubleshooting methodology to semiconductor equipment fault diagnosis and resolution.
- Manage equipment installation and de-installation projects using your project management experience.
- Coordinate with international teams across Taiwan, Philippines, Singapore, and beyond.
- Produce technical reports and documentation to the same rigorous standard your current industry demands.
- Uphold EHS and cleanroom standards — you already know how critical compliance is.
Qualifications
- Willing to be stationed in Taiwan (3-month rotation or 1-year assignment — see below).
- Degree or Diploma in Engineering with 3+ years of industrial experience in any technical sector.
- Hands-on background in equipment maintenance, installation, or technical project management.
- Experience in one or more transferable areas: vacuum systems, gas handling, thermal management, RF/electrical, or precision mechanics.
- Proactive, self-driven professional who is ready to invest in a career move.
- Semiconductor experience is NOT required — Must Jobs provides full semiconductor training as part of the transition.
Company Propositions
- Targeted semiconductor transition training that builds on — not replaces — your existing expertise.
- Taiwan fab assignment: immediate credibility in semiconductor from day one.
- Competitive salary package reflecting your experience level, plus overseas allowances.
- A globally recognized semiconductor credential to complement your industry background.
- Travel and exposure across Asia-Pacific — Philippines, Singapore, and beyond.
- The semiconductor industry is structurally short of engineers: your mid-career move gives you leverage most new graduates don’t have.
ASSIGNMENT DETAILS
Option A — 3-Month Fab Rotation: Ideal for candidates who want to test the waters.
You will complete a structured 3-month rotation at a leading semiconductor fab in
Taiwan, gaining hands-on fab floor experience under mentorship.
Option B — Permanent 1-Year Taiwan Assignment: For candidates ready to fully
commit. A 1-year station in Taiwan provides deep fab expertise, OEM certifications, and the experience that will define your semiconductor career for decades.
