Nokia is a Finnish telecommunications equipment company founded in 1865 as a paper mill, which became the world's largest mobile phone maker in the 1990s before selling that business to Microsoft in 2014. It now supplies network infrastructure to operators and enterprises, covering radio access equipment for mobile networks, optical and IP routing for transport networks, fixed broadband access, and a technologies division that licenses its cellular patent portfolio. Headquartered in Espoo and listed in Helsinki and New York, it runs Nokia Bell Labs as its research arm and has been expanding into data centre networking as operator spending has slowed.

As a Wafer Fab Operator at Nokia’s new wafer fabrication facility, you will play a pivotal role in launching and scaling our state-of-the-art production of cutting-edge integrated optical parts. You will operate and support advanced automated and manual wafer fabrication equipment in a dynamic, high-tech cleanroom environment. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the successful startup of a new fab, where your expertise will help establish robust processes, achieve on-time delivery goals, and drive Nokia’s technology leadership forward. You will collaborate closely with engineers, production teams, and fellow operators to ensure smooth ramp-up and sustained high performance.

Your responsibilities

  • Multi-site training at Nokia’s manufacturing sites in Sunnyvale & San Jose. San Jose site will be primary.
  • Operate and maintain multiple automated wafer fabrication equipment, ensuring optimal performance.
  • Execute wafer fab processes with precision, adhering to established protocols and standards.
  • Collaborate effectively with team members to achieve production goals and timelines.
  • Monitor and report production and equipment issues to relevant teams for timely resolution.
  • Conduct regular data entry tasks accurately, maintaining up-to-date production records.
  • Manage and organize workflow while adapting to the fast-paced demands of the fab environment.
  • Demonstrate excellent hand-eye coordination while handling delicate wafers during production.
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and quality.

You have:

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience as a Wafer Fab Operator or in semiconductor wafer processing (or equivalent cleanroom manufacturing role).
  • High School Diploma or equivalent
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow specifications
  • Good hand-eye coordination for handling delicate wafers
  • Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment

It would be nice if you also had:

  • Previous experience in semiconductor manufacturing or similar field
  • Experience operating automated wafer fabrication equipment
  • Familiarity with computer data entry and production reporting software
  • Knowledge of wafer fabrication processes and procedures
