Responsibilities

  • Support the Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) team in the safe and effective operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of facility systems across electrical distribution, instrumentation, and control networks.
  • Assist senior technicians with preventive and corrective maintenance (PM/CM) tasks on electrical panels, switchgear, variable frequency drives (VFDs), sensors, transmitters, and instrumentation devices under supervision.
  • Participate in equipment inspections and field verifications, ensuring safe work areas, proper PPE use, and compliance with site safety standards (LOTO, arc flash, confined space, etc.).
  • Learn and apply basic electrical measurement and diagnostic techniques (voltage, current, continuity, insulation resistance) under mentor guidance.
  • Support instrumentation calibration and verification for transmitters (temperature, pressure, flow, level, conductivity, pH), following standard calibration procedures.
  • Assist with the setup and execution of infrared (IR) scans, vibration checks, and panel inspections, learning to identify abnormal conditions or potential reliability risks.
  • Record and document readings, results, and maintenance data in the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) such as Maximo, ensuring accurate data entry and closeout tracking.
  • Shadow technicians and engineers to gain an understanding of system operation, control sequences, and instrumentation architecture within semiconductor facility environments.
  • Support the review and update of maintenance documentation, schematics, and calibration logs, learning proper document control practices.
  • Assist with the installation, wiring, and termination of new instruments or control devices under the supervision of a qualified technician.
  • Observe and participate in equipment startups and functional tests, learning the steps of safe energization and control loop verification.
  • Learn and practice proper use and care of test equipment, such as multimeters, calibrators, loop testers, and IR cameras.
  • Participate in daily shift passdowns, toolbox talks, and safety meetings, contributing to discussions on work planning and safe work practices.
  • Support spare parts inventory and tool management, ensuring materials are organized, labeled, and returned to designated locations.
  • Assist in developing and maintaining instrumentation tags, calibration databases, and equipment lists to support traceability and accuracy.
  • Engage in on-the-job training and mentorship sessions with senior E&I staff to build technical, procedural, and safety competencies.
  • Follow all EHS and electrical safety protocols, immediately reporting hazards, near misses, or unsafe conditions to supervision.
  • Learn the fundamentals of process instrumentation within UPW, Wastewater, and Mechanical Utility systems, developing familiarity with how electrical and control systems interface with facility processes.
  • Support troubleshooting activities by observing diagnostics, learning to interpret trends, alarms, and control loop behaviors.
  • Participate in assigned engineering or improvement projects, collecting data, assisting with test execution, and contributing to documentation.
