another posting https://www.jobstreet.com.sg/en/job/etch-process-engineer-6260854?fr=21 For Etch Process Engineer, wondering if its possible some of these recent postings may actually be reposts due to inability to find suitable candidates.  This one just posted today was also advertised about 3 weeks ago, and already has 36 applicants listed, perhaps holdovers from previous time this position was listed, or just strong interest.  Either way, they are still looking for bodies so the advertisements keep popping up.
