Our Mission

At ETI, we help advanced fabs run cleaner, faster, and more reliably. As an Application Engineering Specialist, you’ll turn vacuum and abatement expertise into real‑world outcomes—keeping critical tools online and customers confident. You’ll work with guidance from experienced mentors while partnering closely with Sales, Marketing, and Field Service.

Imagine This Scenario

A production line shows a throughput dip. You compare vacuum gauge trends, review a turbomolecular pump’s electrical schematic, check chiller performance, and run a 5 Why analysis. You pinpoint the likely cause, outline a repair and optimization plan, and present your recommendations—translating complex details into clear steps for the customer and internal teams.

Your Impact

• Elevate equipment reliability and performance across vacuum pumps, dry pumps, and abatement systems.
• Strengthen customer trust through precise product selection guidance, clear documentation, and follow‑through.
• Enable smarter decisions by turning data and design information into actionable recommendations.
