Contract: 1-month contract with strong potential for long-term extension
About Uptime Crew
Uptime Crew multiplies technology talent potential to power today's leading
enterprises. We remove barriers for diverse early-career technologists by
delivering elite, immersive, outcome-based training that prepares them for long,
rewarding careers.
We are seeking an experienced Technical Trainer to lead our Semiconductor Field
Service Engineer/Technician program. The program covers:
Semiconductor industry and facility fundamentals, including uptime and
reliability
Cleanroom operations and wafer handling
Safety and quality: lockout/tagout, emergency procedures, and hazard
awareness
Fab systems, semiconductor manufacturing processes, and integrated circuit
fundamentals
Vacuum and cryogenic systems
Operations and maintenance (O&M): inspections, SOPs, and structured
troubleshooting
If you are a seasoned practitioner who loves mentorship, teaching, and
transforming learners into job-ready technicians and field service engineers,
we'd love to hear from you.
About the Role
Learners, whether technicians or field service engineers, will complete a
structured curriculum through our online learning platform and live virtual
training sessions. You will provide hands-on technical guidance, feedback,
mentorship, and real-world industry insight throughout the training, helping
learners translate technical concepts into practical, job-ready skills and build
the confidence needed to succeed on the job.
This role is ideal for a seasoned semiconductor field service engineer, fab
technician, or facilities professional with a strong safety background who
enjoys teaching and mentoring others and is looking for a remote opportunity to
both deliver training and help refine the curriculum behind it. Hands-on
experience in electrical, HVAC and mechanical, or plumbing and fire protection
systems is a plus, but it is not required.
Key Responsibilities
Guide learner development throughout the program, monitoring progress and
helping ensure learners are prepared to succeed in the workplace.
Help refine curriculum and course content in partnership with the Uptime Crew
training team.
Deliver live virtual instruction on:
Semiconductor industry and facility fundamentals
Cleanroom operations and wafer handling
Safety and quality principles, including PPE, arc flash, lockout/tagout, and
Stop Work practices
Semiconductor manufacturing processes and integrated circuit fundamentals
Vacuum and cryogenic systems
Equipment rounds, inspections, and maintenance practices
Reading and interpreting schematics and specifications
Structured troubleshooting and O&M scenarios
Review assignments, assessments, and presentations; provide detailed,
actionable feedback.
Answer learner questions and provide technical support through Teams, live
sessions, and one-on-one calls as needed.
Provide technical guidance, industry best practices, and professional
mentorship throughout the program.
Bring real-world industry experience into the classroom by sharing current
workflows, tools, standards, and workplace expectations.
Partner with the Uptime Crew training team by sharing observations and
feedback that help strengthen the curriculum and continuously improve the
learner experience.
Who We're Looking For
Core Qualifications
7+ years of hands-on experience in facility or equipment support roles within
a semiconductor fab, data center, or other mission-critical environment
Expert knowledge of statistics, including SPC charts and outlier conditions,
and of process production areas throughout semiconductor manufacturing
1+ year in training, mentoring, or consulting preferred
Strong practical expertise in:
Semiconductor manufacturing processes and integrated circuit fundamentals
Vacuum and cryogenic systems
Cleanroom operations, wafer handling, and fab safety culture
Facility uptime, redundancy, and reliability practices
O&M programs, SOP writing, and documentation practices
General Technical Strengths
Thorough command of facility safety, including lockout/tagout, hazardous
energy control, arc flash awareness, PPE, and Stop Work practices
Ability to read and explain technical drawings, schematics, and
specifications
Comfort troubleshooting equipment and facility issues using structured
methods
Working knowledge of governing codes and safety standards (such as OSHA and
NFPA) and why they matter
Ability to explain technical concepts clearly to early-career learners
Confident on-camera presence and comfort with Teams, screen sharing, and
breakout rooms
Reliable high-speed internet, a quiet workspace, and a quality webcam and
microphone
Nice to Have
OSHA 30 certification or OSHA Outreach Trainer authorization
NFPA 70E electrical safety training or certification
HVAC, plumbing, or fire protection certifications
Licensed electrician credential, electrical engineering degree, or equivalent
trade certification
Prior experience teaching, mentoring, or managing junior technicians
