Job Description

A core tenant at IMS Nanofabrication is a "People First" point of view. We agonize over getting the right people on board, in the right seats, and fostering an environment where each person can find autonomy, mastery, and purpose in their work.

This entry-level role is an exceptional launchpad for recent college graduates with engineering/science degrees, as well as military veterans such as from the Navy Nuclear Propulsion Program, who thrive in high-accountability, high-consequence technical environments.

Our Field Service Engineer I role emphasizes customer satisfaction, technical troubleshooting skills, and collaborative teamwork in daily operations with other Field Service Engineers. A successful Field Service Engineer I at IMS Nanofabrication displays strong problem-solving and decision-making skills, alongside a deep understanding of the impact of quickly diagnosing and addressing problems in the customer environment.

They have a strong desire to master both the technical attributes of our Multi-Beam Mask Writers - some of the most advanced semiconductor lithography equipment in the world - and the people skills required to excel in front of our critical customers. This role requires an in-person presence in our Hillsboro, OR office with a daily presence at our customer site(s), strongly aligning with our US headquarters in Santa Clara, CA and our global R&D and operations team in Austria. This non-exempt role reports directly to the team lead engineer in charge at IMS America.

You're Excited About This Opportunity Because You Will:

• Grow with a Premier Team: Be part of a growing team of professional Field Service Engineers in Hillsboro, OR.
• Master Cutting-Edge Tech: Internally align on and perform the activities related to the installation, annual preventive maintenance, and issue resolution of a growing fleet of multi-beam mask writers.
