Ability to work efficiently with minimal supervision in partnership with Antora's engineers.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to work well in a team environment.
Ability to admit mistakes and work on continuous improvement.
Empathy, sensitivity, and ability to effectively interact with a broad and diverse range of colleagues.
Proficiency with using AI tools to accelerate documentation and troubleshooting and ability to critically evaluate AI-generated output.

Associate's, Bachelor's, or Master's degree in a relevant science or engineering field.
Experience with handling and processing of common semiconductor materials and/or devices, ideally including III-V materials (e.g. GaAs, InP, GaN, etc.).
Experience with wafer dicing, pick-and-place, wafer bonding, or lamination tools.
Familiarity with digital travelers, MES, or electronic lab notebook systems.
