Fab Equipment Engineering Intern

Position Summary

• MACOM is seeking a highly
• motivated Engineering Intern to support the Equipment Engineering organization
• within our semiconductor wafer fabrication facility.
• This internship is
• designed around a real-world engineering challenge: developing a strategy to
• collect and analyze operational data from legacy semiconductor manufacturing
• equipment that does not currently support modern factory automation interfaces
• such as SECS/GEM.
• The intern will work
• alongside Equipment Engineers, Technicians, Manufacturing personnel, and
• Automation teams to evaluate existing equipment data sources, develop methods
• for automated data collection, and create analytics tools capable of improving
• equipment visibility and decision making.
• This position provides
• hands-on exposure to semiconductor manufacturing equipment, equipment
• reliability engineering, manufacturing analytics, factory automation, and
• artificial intelligence applications in a production environment.

Primary Internship Project

AI-Enabled Legacy

Equipment Data Integration

• Many semiconductor tools
• within manufacturing environments generate valuable operational information but
• lack standardized communication interfaces capable of automatically sharing
• data with factory systems.
• The intern will be tasked
• with investigating and developing a framework to:
• Identify available run history
• and operational data sources from legacy equipment.
• Evaluate methods of capturing
• equipment activity data.
• Design an intermediate data
• structure capable of standardizing information from multiple equipment
• platforms.
• Develop automated methods for
• collecting, organizing, and analyzing equipment activity.
• Utilize AI and analytics tools to
• classify equipment operating states, downtime events, and utilization
• trends.
• Create dashboard visualizations
• and reports that improve visibility to tool performance.
