  • Perform regular data entry and validation with a focus on accuracy and detail
  • Monitor system performance and conduct thorough checks to ensure optimal functionality

  • Experience with material handling units and wafer loader systems
  • Familiarity with a range of wafer handling hardware
  • Experience of working in clean room environments.

Given the nature of the primary duties and responsibilities of this role, it is an essential term and condition of this role that the core hours of work may involve an evening shift schedule of Monday to Friday from 3 p.m. – 11 p.m., subject to the company needs.

This is for a new position. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and internal benchmarks. The base salary range is 80,000 - 110,000 CAD. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
