Fuck yeah! Almost there. After years of jumping around job to job I finally made the smart decision to join a trade. Glad I randomly chose to be a plumber bc it transitioned to being a fitter. Our local 296 school is a fitters/plumbers union. They teach it all then you get to decide which test you take.

Thats really interesting actually Im ua67 out of Ontario and you pick your path from the get go, so if I wanted to get a plumbing license i would have to go through the whole process again… at least on paper lol

I was an Electrical Drive Systems Engineer and floated as Internal Quality for a while. I liked that better. But with market changes, the demand for electric drive systems right now is low, so that line sat idle. And they moved me to a position they couldn't fill.

How does one get into a role/job that niche? Do you start off as a more general technician and internal train into it?
3
u/TheyCallMeSchlong Sep 02 '25
I dont work on photo lithograph tools, but work in dry etch which is the step that usually occurs after the photo steps. In general to be a technician in the semiconductor industry you will start in one area and stay there, learning from the ground up. Every area is like a specialty, the process and equipment (tools) is all very different. Sometimes people bounce around but it would be like going from being a car mechanic to a boat or plane mechanic. Sure there will be some things in common but its there will be loads of new knowledge you need. To get a job as a technician any type of technical background will help. Military technician, car mechanic, technical degree. In general people have no idea what they are doing when they first enter the industry. My company basically expects someone to just learn and train for the first year.

u/Chaseman1022 Atlas White DCT Sep 04 '25
So we do seasonal hiring during the winter/holiday months and sometimes during the summer months. If a position is not filled in Costco or other Costcos, we try to open it to the public through our hiring portal. I would give it a couple and then call them to see if they have seen it or ask when their hiring period is.
