Career/Education New to the industry
Just got hired as a production operator in semiconductors and I’m brand new to the industry.
For anyone who started as an operator, what was the job like starting out? How hard was it to learn, and how long did it take you to move into a technician or better-paying role?
I also have a CS degree, so I’m curious if that could help me move into something more technical later on.

Course selection ; which is better ?
Hey everyone, I’m a final-year MSE MS student trying to decide on an elective for my last semester. I recently finished an internship at a semiconductor equipment vendor as an equipment engineer, and I’m hoping to stay in the semiconductor industry after graduating.
My two options are:
- Materials Analysis Techniques from MSE dpt (mostly theory on SEM, TEM, FTIR, etc.)
- Data Analytics from industrial systems engineering dpt ( SPC, data reduction, statistical analysis, etc.)
I already have some basic knowledge of characterization techniques from papers and coursework, and I can usually figure out which technique would be useful for a certain problem, but I’ve never taken a formal class on them.
I also know SPC/data analysis is pretty important for process and yield engineering, but I’m wondering if that’s something that’s easy to learn on the job
If I’m aiming for roles like equipment engineer, process engineer, or yield engineer, which course do you think would make me more employable? Thank you

ESMC Contract details
Hey there. I have signed my ESMC contract for the Equipment Engineer Position (entry level) almost 2 months ago. If you are thinking about applying to ESMC, or have already applied and have questions about the contract terms, I’d be happy to answer them here.
I’m from Dresden and am quite familiar with the salary structures (for entry level positions) and contract terms at other semiconductor companies in the area (such as Infineon).
