Wolfspeed is Recruiting Manufacturing Technicians in Marcy

Wolfspeed-logo

Wolfspeed is in immediate need for several Manufacturing Technicians. These roles are a great opportunity to get into Wolfspeed with very little experience.

The roles generally pay $20-22/hr, plus a shift differential of 5-15% depending on if the candidate works days or nights.

These positions are central to the success of their Mohawk Valley fab, ensuring that daily operations flow smoothly and work alongside Engineers to optimize processes.

This role is considered to be a “feeder” position for higher level Technician openings on the Equipment & Process teams, with many of Manufacturing Techs moving into a more senior position about a year after starting with Wolfspeed.
