Job Description

Semiconductor Process Operator (Wafer Fabrication)

Location: Suffolk County NY

On-Premises Full-time 2nd Shift (1:30 PM – 10:00 PM)

Important: MUST BE U.S. CITIZEN OR GREEN CARD HOLDER

Local candidates ONLY.

About Our Client

Our client has been at the forefront of microelectronics for over 50 years, delivering high-reliability semiconductor solutions to aerospace, defense, and medical industries. Joining this team means entering a clean, high-tech environment where every wafer you help process plays a role in powering mission-critical systems.

Why This Role Matters

This is your entry point into the semiconductor industry — one of the fastest-growing and most resilient sectors in the U.S. economy. As a Wafer Fabrication Operator, you’ll gain hands-on training with advanced processes like photolithography, etching, and diffusion — the same techniques used by leading chipmakers worldwide.

This role is more than button-pushing. You’ll be part of a close-knit team of engineers and technicians, learning how semiconductors are built from the ground up. For motivated individuals, this position can be the first step toward advancing into senior technician, process engineering, or leadership roles.

What You’ll Gain

• Skill Development – Hands-on training in semiconductor processes: photolithography, wet/dry etch, and high-temperature furnace operations.
• Career Path – Build experience that can launch you into senior technical or engineering roles.
• Impactful Work – Contribute directly to products used in aerospace, defense, and medical applications.
• Strong Benefits – Competitive pay, medical/dental, 401(k) with match, tuition reimbursement, and more.
• High-Tech Experience – Learn in a cleanroom environment with advanced tools and processes.

What You’ll Do

• Operate semiconductor fabrication equipment for photolithography and wafer processing.
• Work with Mask Aligners, developers, wet/dry etch tools, and high-temperature diffusion furnaces .
• Follow wafer traveler documentation precisely to process wafers step by step.
• Perform visual and detailed inspections of completed work.
• Document results and communicate findings to engineers and management.
• Adhere to cleanroom protocols, quality standards, and safety requirements.

What You Bring

• High School Diploma (Associate’s degree in a technical field preferred).
• At least 6 months of manufacturing experience (cleanroom or semiconductor exposure a plus).
• Comfort working with chemicals and following strict safety procedures.
• Attention to detail, strong communication, and a team-oriented mindset.

Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a way into the semiconductor industry, this role offers hands-on experience, technical growth, and a stable career path in a high-impact, future-proof field.
