About the role
Job Details: Job Description: Intel Corporation is a global technology leader and one of the world's largest and most innovative semiconductor companies. For more than five decades, Intel has been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing the advanced chips, platforms, and technologies that power the modern world — from artificial intelligence and cloud computing to autonomous vehicles, 5G connectivity, and next-generation personal computing. With a bold vision for the future of semiconductor manufacturing, Intel is investing heavily in its U.S. fabrication capabilities — and our Ocotillo campus in Chandler, Arizona is central to that vision. Home to four of Intel's most advanced fabrication facilities — Fab 12, Fab 32, Fab 42, and Fab 52 — the Ocotillo campus is where cutting-edge process technology meets world-class manufacturing execution. It is one of the most technologically sophisticated semiconductor manufacturing sites in the United States and a cornerstone of Intel's commitment to domestic chip production. At Intel, we know that our people are the driving force behind every breakthrough. We are deeply committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative workplace — one where every team member is valued, supported, and empowered to grow their career while contributing to technology that genuinely changes the world. Intel's Ocotillo campus is seeking a skilled, driven, and technically minded professional to join our Dedicated Emergency Response Team (DERT) as a Module Equipment Technician. The DERT is an elite team of specialized technicians embedded within Intel's advanced fabrication facilities. Unlike standard maintenance roles, DERT technicians function as first responders for critical equipment events — mobilizing rapidly when tools go down, diagnosing complex failures under pressure, and restoring production with precision and urgency. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of technical expertise, problem-solving, and operational excellence. In this position, you will maintain and troubleshoot some of the most sophisticated semiconductor manufacturing equipment in the world, working side by side with Intel's world-class engineering teams across Fab 12, Fab 32, Fab 42, and Fab 52. Every shift you work contributes directly to the production of Intel's most advanced chips — the technology that powers billions of devices and drives progress across every major industry on the planet. This role operates on a Compressed Work Week (CWW) schedule, featuring 12-hour shifts that provide extended consecutive days off — giving you more flexibility, better work-life balance, and more time for the things that matter most to you outside of work. Whether you are an experienced semiconductor technician, a skilled equipment maintenance professional from a related high-tech industry, or a military veteran with hands-on technical training, this is an exceptional opportunity to build a long-term career at one of the world's most respected technology companies. Key Responsibilities • Emergency Equipment Response: Act as a frontline first responder for critical equipment failures across Intel's Ocotillo fabrication facilities, rapidly assessing situations, diagnosing root causes, and implementing effective corrective actions to restore production with minimal downtime and yield impact. • Preventative & Corrective Maintenance: Execute scheduled preventative maintenance (PM) programs and perform corrective maintenance (CM) on advanced 300mm semiconductor manufacturing equipment, ensuring tools operate consistently within defined process specifications and performance targets. • Wafer Production Operations Support: Actively support all phases of wafer fabrication — including equip
