If you like spending time on the computer, figuring out puzzles or games, and finding solutions to problems, then this could be the role for you!
As a Manufacturing Specialist Trainee, you’ll help manage automated systems from your computer in the Manufacturing Command Center (MCC) or inside the cleanroom* (also known as “ the Fab”).

We will teach you how!
Your Responsibilities:
• Learn about the processes and keep up with procedure updates by reading documents provided.
• Watch the monitoring system and check for alerts to make sure everything runs smoothly.
• Complete important tasks quickly and safely, following instructions provided.
• Team up with others to fix or solve a problem.

Skills You’ll Need:
