Job Description

The Ramp Engineer is responsible for coordinating and supporting semiconductor tool installations, upgrades, decommissions, and ramp activities within the fab. This role acts as the link between tool owners, equipment vendors, construction teams, EHS, and facility groups to ensure tools are installed safely, correctly, and on schedule. While heavily focused on project coordination and execution, the position also requires hands-on involvement with tool installs, demos, utility turn-ons, and equipment readiness activities. The ideal candidate has strong semiconductor tool installation experience, understands fab operations, and can effectively manage vendor relationships, schedules, and field execution for Film, CMP/Polish, Clean, or similar process tools.
