Mechatronics Technician – Fab Automation & AMHS (m/f/d)

European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) GmbH is the joint venture between TSMC, Bosch, Infineon and NXP. For the first time, global technology leader TSMC is building a semiconductor fab in the heart of Europe, offering cutting-edge manufacturing technologies for next-generation semiconductor products. ESMC represents a shared commitment to strengthening the European semiconductor ecosystem.  

For our future fab in Dresden, we are looking for a highly motivated and committed:  

Do you want to control the invisible lifeline of one of Europe’s most advanced semiconductor factories and share your knowledge at the same time? As a Mechatronics Technician – Fab Automation & AMHS (m/f/d), you will ensure that production never stands still. You will monitor, maintain, and optimize the fully automated transport systems that move our wafers through the cleanroom. In addition, you will establish new procedures and perform systematic root cause analysis to resolve malfunctions. As a technician, you enjoy exchanging ideas with other technicians, ensuring knowledge transfer within the team.  

This is your chance to actively participate in building one of Europe’s leading semiconductor fabs. 

• Continuous monitoring of the Automated Material Handling System (AMHS) via control platforms and GUIs to ensure a stable production flow.
• Fast execution of first-line troubleshooting and maintenance work directly within the cleanroom environment (including working at heights and in confined spaces).
• Performing systematic analysis of complex system errors and parameter deviations to resolve recurring problems sustainably.
• Creation, adaptation and documentation of new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for continuous quality improvement.
• Technical guidance, onboarding and further development of junior technicians during shift operations.
• Controlling complex processes and planning material incoming flow based on the operational requirements of the fab.
• Close cooperation with various departments to ensure maximum production efficiency and quality.
• Ensuring a seamless shift handover through detailed documentation and summaries of all occurrences.

• Successfully completed vocational training, e.g., as a Mechatronics Technician, Electronics Technician for Automation Technology, Industrial Mechanic or a comparable technical qualification.
• At least 2 years of professional experience in a technical field (e.g., semiconductor manufacturing, maintenance, automotive or logistics).
• High quality and safety awareness, structured working style, reliability, as well as physical resilience in the cleanroom (lifting loads up to max. 20 kg with auxiliary equipment).
• High quality and safety awareness, structured working style, reliability, as well as physical resilience in the cleanroom (lifting loads up to max. 20 kg with auxiliary equipment).
• Good German language skills (B2) for safety and operational instructions, and basic English skills (B1) for technical documentation in an international environment.
• Strong team orientation and willingness to actively share knowledge with junior colleagues.
• Initial professional experience in a highly regulated cleanroom environment (e.g., semiconductor, pharmaceutical, or medical technology).
• Experience with fully automated material flow systems, robotics, high-bay warehouses, or conveyor technology.
• Knowledge in creating technical documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), or training materials.
• Willingness to work in a continuous shift system (day, late, night shift) as well as flexibility during operational bottlenecks.
• Motivated and available for "on-the-job" Training in Taiwan for 6 months. 

• Security & Perspective: A permanent employment contract and career advancement opportunities in one of Europe's leading semiconductors fabs.
• Company Pension Plan & Financial Benefits: We support your financial well-being with our robust company pension plan. As an ESMC employee, you also benefit directly from TSMC’s performance through an exclusive Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
• Relocation Support for Dresden: Moving for us? We’ll provide you with all the support you will need for your relocation and your start in Dresden.
• Training & Development: Depending on your position, you will gain a deeper understanding of the processes involved in operating complex semiconductor equipment through unique hands-on training at the TSMC Newcomer Training Center, while continuously expanding your knowledge.
• Health & Well-Being: An annual budget for your health and well-being (e.g., for sports classes, massages, or relaxation) helps you stay fit.
• Meals & Transportation: Enjoy a daily meal allowance as well as a subsidized public transportation (e.g., for the Deutschlandticket) in Germany.
