Your future at ESMC

With the introduction of 12/16nm FinFET technology, we are bringing three-dimensional transistor structures into European volume production. As a technician, you will work directly on manufacturing next-generation chips – the semiconductors that will power autonomous vehicles, green energy technologies, and the industry of tomorrow.

We offer the dynamics of a new facility and the security of the global semiconductor technology leader TSMC. Your role in the semiconductor industry is crucial for long term success – making this a true investment for both you and for the future of Dresden’s semiconductor industry.

Your commitment is rewarded: In addition to market- and performance-based base compensation and attractive shift allowances, we offer you flexibility. You can vary your weekly working hours in shift operations between 33 and 40 hours – plannable for one year at a time.

At ESMC, you work together with a team that supports one another. In our international environment, English is the official language – but for joint success, your technical understanding and reliable teamwork are what matter most.

A secure job requires first-class training: In addition to your onboarding in Dresden, an intensive training program is planned for you at TSMC’s headquarters in Taiwan. We organize the entire trip and support you on-site throughout your stay.

From infrastructure to cleanroom: Built together.
Your area of expertise in the semiconductor industry

The establishment of ESMC in Dresden offers you, as a technical specialist, the unique opportunity to help shape one of Europe’s most modern factories from the ground up. During this crucial phase, you will oversee the installation and commissioning of highly complex systems, build new structures as part of a team, and lay the foundation for future production operations. Whether directly working on high-tech equipment, managing infrastructure, or supporting our administrative processes – a project of this scale requires specialists in all areas:

Technicians in the fab work directly on the highly advanced production equipment where next-generation semiconductors are manufactured:

  • Commissioning, technical support and maintenance of complex semiconductor production equipment.
  • Ensuring our high-quality standards and process optimization through the early detection and resolution of equipment deviations.
  • Resource and safety management, as well as active contribution to and compliance with standard operating procedures.

Technicians on the facilities team establish the foundation for our production – this area is all about the complex supply, disposal, atmospheric, and electrical conditions of our fab.

  • Commissioning, operation and maintenance of the entire fab infrastructure, e.g., in the areas of Water Systems, Gas Chemical Systems, Mechanical Systems, and Electrical Systems.
  • Systematic troubleshooting and fault resolution to ensure uninterrupted fab operations.
  • Compliance with strict safety and environmental standards when handling high-purity media and complex technology.

Technicians in supporting functions establish the administrative, logistical, and digital foundations for our shared success – from IT and material management (logistics) to quality management:

  • Active contribution to and optimization of our central processes, e.g., in the areas of IT, material management (logistics), or quality management.
  • Ensuring smooth fab operations through strategic planning, reliable support, and the provision of modern systems and resources.
  • Close collaboration at the interfaces with fab and facilities to successfully support the growth of our location from the very beginning.
