About this role

Microchip is hiring an Equipment Maintenance Technician Intern (Bulk Chemical) at our Fab 4 facility in Gresham, Oregon.

This is a paid internship, and Microchip will cover the cost of tuition, required books and most fees for interns currently enrolled in the Industrial Maintenance Technology two-year technical degree program at Clackamas Community College or other designated educational institution. Other relevant programs may be considered.

Interns will learn semiconductor equipment maintenance, and assuming successful work performance, they will be eligible for a full-time position as an Equipment Technician II upon completion of the AAS program. Offers of full-time employment are also contingent on Fab 4 business need.

Interns are required to work no fewer than 24 hours per week. Their work schedule will accommodate their class schedule for courses required to complete the AAS degree program.

This is an exceptional opportunity to earn a valuable technical credential with minimal student loan debt, and to move directly into a professional position.

Under general supervision of experienced technicians and engineers, interns will learn to:

  • Work safely and directly with hazardous chemicals and gases, and electrical and mechanical systems after completion of safety and environmental training.
  • Read and navigate schematics, hand and power tools and common test equipment for calibration, diagnosis and repair of equipment.
  • Disassemble, adjust and repair equipment according to maintenance specifications and OEM manuals.

  • Apply mechanical and equipment knowledge in a wide variety of electrical, pneumatic and mechanical systems.
  • Present issues and solutions to the group. Demonstrated verbal and written communication skills are essential.
  • Be a self-starter who can plan effectively, re-prioritize and ask for help when needed.
