About Analog Devices:

Analog Devices International is a world-leading semiconductor company specializing in high-performance analogue, mixed signal, and digital signal processing (DSP) integrated circuits (ICs). As an Analog Devices Semiconductor Technician, you will play an integral role in the successful production of ADI products that transform how the world works, plays, and communicates. We embrace diversity and inclusion and are committed to creating an environment where all employees feel empowered to achieve their full potential. While experience is an advantage, this opportunity is also open to those with limited industry experience.

At our Limerick site, we manufacture integrated circuits used across the electronics spectrum—from industrial systems to consumer devices.

Role Overview:

This position is based in our Class 10 cleanroom wafer fabrication facility, where you will work with advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment and robotic systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in planned and unplanned tool repair and maintenance.
• Support root cause troubleshooting and fault finding to component level.
• Contribute to ongoing tool development and enhancement, including robotic automation improvements.
• Drive improvement projects independently and as part of a team.
• Collaborate with mentors on hands-on investigations and hardware resolutions.
• Participate in presentations on completed work, learnings, and recommendations.
• Interpret technical manuals, schematics, and diagrams using a variety of tools and test equipment.
• Communicate effectively and present issues and solutions confidently.
• Work well in a diverse team environment and adapt to changing priorities.

Robotics & Automation Focus:

You will gain exposure to robotic wafer handling systems, automated material transfer platforms, and precision robotics integrated into semiconductor tools. Responsibilities may include:

• Assisting in calibration and maintenance of robotic arms and automated handlers.
• Supporting troubleshooting of robotic motion control systems and sensors.
• Learning about robotic integration with high-vacuum and pneumatic systems.
• Participating in projects to optimize robotic throughput and reliability.

Technology Exposure:

Our tools incorporate advanced technologies such as electronics, high vacuum systems, pneumatics, and robotics. Some of the individual toolsets onsite include:

• Applied Materials Implanters & Deposition Platforms
• Akrion Wet Benches
• Aviza Furnaces
