Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamond behind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably. We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.

We are seeking a hands-on Equipment Engineer to join our team in Fremont, CA. You will be responsible for the entire lifecycle of our advanced manufacturing equipment—from planning and installation to maintenance and optimization. This role is crucial for ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the machinery used in our cutting-edge diamond production processes. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to drive continuous improvement and maximize equipment performance.

Ensure Safety Compliance: Uphold and implement equipment safety standards and regulations. Conduct risk assessments and develop safety procedures to mitigate potential hazards.

Drive Equipment Performance: Oversee all upkeep and preventative maintenance for assigned equipment. Diagnose malfunctions, troubleshoot issues, and implement effective solutions to maximize uptime.

Lead Equipment Projects: Manage the installation and commissioning of new equipment, ensuring proper setup, calibration, and integration. You will also identify, design, and implement modifications to improve the safety, quality, or efficiency of existing systems.

Manage Projects: Oversee projects related to equipment upgrades, expansions, or replacements, coordinating with internal teams and external vendors to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget.

Develop Documentation: Author and review Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), technical reports, preventive maintenance plans, and other critical documentation.

A Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.

Experience: 3+ years of direct, hands-on experience with manufacturing equipment maintenance and commissioning; experience with CMP (Chemical Mechanical Planarization), lapping, or wafer polishing is highly desirable.

Proficiency in 3D modeling software and experience with equipment monitoring, data collection, and analysis.

A data-driven mindset with a strong understanding of key manufacturing metrics (e.g., uptime, MTBF, MTTR, yield) and a passion for improving them.

Meticulous attention to detail and strong problem-solving skills.
