Overall Responsibilities:

This posting is for an Implant/VSE New Product Introduction (NPI) instructor based in Austin, TX. This position is a combination technical instructor and technical expert role on existing and new products. The position is required to work within (or in close proximity to) the business unit (BU) located in Austin, TX in order to learn the new PDP/NPI products (i.e. the new mainframes, chambers, and tools) under development by the BU, gain experience on the startup and sustaining production tasks on the tool, and develop/deliver initial classroom and hands-on training on the tool. Once the tool transitions to volume production, the NPI instructor will train up the volume instructor, who then takes over the product from a training ownership standpoint.

Position will require learning and application of that learning on three fronts – (1) training fundamentals; (2) existing products; and (3) new product training development.  Training fundamentals will cover the training methodology, tools, materials and confidence to deliver both live distance learning (LDL) and instructor led hands on (ILT) course delivery. Existing products start with basic operations and maintenance, followed by trouble shooting and diagnostics, and eventually mastery of the tool. Product training development will require content development and project management skills to help bring a new tool design from concept to reality, through the development of comprehensive training curriculum, student guides, and supporting materials and technologies.

Due to the scheduling of PDP/NPI product development, the NPI instructor will often be researching, gaining knowledge/experience, and developing/delivering for several new tools/chambers at a time, so project management, training/presentation experience, and technical acumen (mechanical, electrical, troubleshooting, etc.) of semiconductor equipment is required.
