Prepares maintenance and project plans and coordinates deliverables from planning through implementation for facilities systems that support semiconductor process equipment — ultrapure water, bulk and specialty gases, chemical delivery, process vacuum and exhaust abatement, HVAC and cleanroom environmental controls. Maintains the matrix of preventive-maintenance and process-improvement actions. Drives maintenance and project deliverables and task detail through CMMS work-order reports, tool uptime and MTBF/MTTR tracking charts, and PM checklists. Aligns the activities of internal maintenance technicians, facilities engineers, and contracted service resources to achieve on-time and within-budget performance objectives while minimizing equipment downtime and protecting cleanroom production schedules. Monitors and reports to the business unit on cost performance, including spare-parts consumption, utility usage, and contracted service spend. Participates on intra-business-unit design teams for tool installations, hook-ups, retrofits, and facility upgrades. Contributes to the team's technical development in areas such as SEMI S2/S8 equipment safety, lockout/tagout, and post-maintenance equipment qualification. Researches root causes of equipment and facility-system failures — utility interruptions, abnormal process excursions, contamination and particle events — and assists in implementing corrective and preventive actions. Functional Knowledge Demonstrates conceptual and practical expertise in facilities maintenance for semiconductor equipment — mechanical, electrical, vacuum, gas and chemical delivery systems — and basic knowledge of related disciplines such as process engineering and EHS compliance Business Expertise Has knowledge of fab facilities and equipment-maintenance best practices and how own area integrates with manufacturing, process engineering, and EHS; is aware of competing equipment and service providers and the factors that differentiate them in the market Leadership Acts as a resource for less-experienced technicians and facilities engineers; may lead small facilities projects, PM program changes, or planned shutdown activities with manageable risks and resource requirements Problem Solving Solves complex equipment and facility-system problems; takes a new perspective on existing PM and troubleshooting approaches; exercises judgment based on the analysis of tool data, alarm history, and utility trends Impact Impacts tool availability, production output, and maintenance cost within own team and other related manufacturing, process, and EHS teams; works within broad guidelines, SEMI standards, and site safety policies Interpersonal Skills Explains difficult or
