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 Lithography Area, helping to ensure the uptime of our machines.

About the team

Photolithography is the process of using ultraviolet light to transfer a pattern onto the silicon wafer. Photolithography shares some fundamental principles with photography in that the pattern is created by exposing the silicon wafer to light projected through a lens. The photolithography service team is responsible for the maintenance of more than 25 different systems used in the fabrication process. The success of the current team comes from great teamwork where the level of trust and clear communication is high. The team members are also collaborating a lot with operators and area engineers to solve problems and improve the Lithography area in general. There are always two Technicians covering the evening shift.
