Microelectronics Technician - 2nd shift

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal ofenabling human life on Mars.

MICROELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN - 2ND SHIFT

SpaceX is developing a low latency, broadband internet system called Starlink, which is the world's largest constellation of highly advanced satellites operating in a low orbit around the Earth. As a Microelectronics Technician you will be joining a small team that supports the production of highspeed RF and optical modules that is instrumental in achieving high-speed internet for the world's most advanced internet system.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Operate, maintain, and calibrate microelectronics equipment with rigorous attention to detail, accuracy, precision, and efficiency in an ESD cleanroom environment.
• Produce high-mix, medium-volume high frequency RF products working with large number of unique tool sets and semiconductor dies with high tolerance stacking
• Read, interpret, and work from electrical schematics and mechanical drawings as well as industry standard documentation such as MIL-Spec and JEDEC-Spec.
• Perform tool set up and machine calibration on die attach machine related to pick-up / stamping collet and dispense needle
• Perform tool set up and machine calibration on an automated ball bonder machine related to wire spool, capillary, and EFO (electric flame off) wand
• Execute DOE (design of experiment) on epoxy selection, plasma recipes, bondline thickness, and wirebond integrity
• Perform process verification by measuring epoxy void, wirebond loop height, and pull / shear force on die / wirebond using various metrology instruments such as CSAM, Xray, 3D profilometer, pull / shear tester, contact angle goniometer
• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, RF, and manufacturing engineering team to improve manufacturing processes for microelectronics and future designs
• Perform root cause analysis and suggest corrective actions, such as machine, design, and tooling changes
• Initiate process improvements and collaborate with equipment and tooling suppliers on-site
