Semiconductor Back-End Utility Engineer

Background of Hiring

In this role, you will play a critical role in maintaining stable factory operations by promoting the installation, renewal, and improvement of utility systems that support semiconductor manufacturing.

In recent years, with the expansion of production and the launch of new products, the importance of utility systems has increased significantly. Multiple projects-such as equipment renewal, capacity expansion, digital transformation (DX), and energy-saving initiatives-are being executed simultaneously. Under these circumstances, there is an urgent need to strengthen the organizational structure to enable end-to-end execution, from planning and investment application to vendor coordination and construction management.

Furthermore, utility systems form the core infrastructure of the factory, and any failure can directly lead to production stoppages. Therefore, high reliability and prompt decision-making are essential. Given the large scale of capital investments and their impact on the entire factory, this role offers the opportunity to be involved in critical decision-making processes.

In this position, you will take the lead in driving facility investment projects from planning through execution. This provides a strong sense of ownership, as your decisions directly contribute to stable operations and improved productivity across the factory. In addition, by working closely with internal departments and external vendors, you will gain broad technical knowledge and project management skills, making this an excellent opportunity for professional growth as an engineer.
