Focus is on the installation, application, and service support of ESI’s proprietary automation systems, ScoutNANO, ScoutLAB, ScoutDXL, ScoutPPQ, Radian, PrepFAST, and SampleTRAX —as they are integrated with ICP-MS instruments for high-precision metal, nanoparticle, and organic contaminant analysis in semiconductor-grade chemicals and wafers. Conduct ICPMS analysis of various semiconductor chemicals as well as providing application support for ICPMS analysis of semiconductor chemicals. Develop application testing methods to determine trace metal impurities in organic or inorganic compounds for semiconductor process chemicals. Operate laboratory equipment, including ICMPS and ICP instrumentation. Prepare samples for analysis and log, track, and process samples. Review or analyze test results in order to locate inconsistencies or malfunctions. Repair, maintain, and calibrate ICPMS automated sample introduction systems. May telecommute from anywhere in the U.S. up to 100% of the time.
Domestic and/or international travel incident to the occupation up to 20-30% of the time based on business needs.
Experience must include the following specific experience and skills:
- 1 year of international field deployment experience providing installation, application, and service support for analytical instrumentation systems at customer manufacturing facilities
- 1 year of experience operating within controlled cleanroom environments at semiconductor fabrication facilities, including adherence to contamination control protocols and facility-specific safety and access requirements
- 1 year of experience delivering on-site technical instruction to engineering personnel at semiconductor manufacturing facilities on the operation, maintenance, and optimization of automated analytical instrumentation
- 1 year of experience performing nanoparticle characterization and trace contaminant analysis in ultra-pure semiconductor-grade process chemicals utilizing ICP-MS instrumentation
- 1 year of experience conducting installation and qualification studies for ultra-trace analytical methods achieving parts-per-trillion (ppt) and parts-per-quadrillion (ppq) detection limits in ultra-pure water (UPW) and organic matrices at customer facilities
- 1 year of experience providing installation and application support for automated sample preparation systems at semiconductor chemical supply and water purification facilities, with demonstrated ability to optimize system performance to meet customer-specific analytical specifications
- 1 year of experience managing end-to-end technical project handover at customer facilities, including development and documentation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for sustained system operation
- Cross-functional proficiency encompassing installation support, application development, and service maintenance of ICP-MS-integrated automated analytical systems
- Working knowledge of fluoropolymer materials (PTFE, PFA) and their application in high-purity chemical handling and sample introduction systems used in semiconductor process analytical instrumentation
- Demonstrated ability to configure, validate, and adapt automated analytical platforms in real time to conform to customer-specific semiconductor manufacturing process requirements, quality standards, and detection sensitivity targets
