Job Description

Job Description

Under the general supervision of the fab manager or shift leadership, the Cleanroom Manufacturing Technician performs highly hands-on semiconductor processing in a cleanroom environment, with significant emphasis on manual wafer handling, manual tool setup, recipe verification, lot movement, inspection, and documentation. This role requires experienced judgment, strong contamination-control discipline, and the ability to execute production work accurately and independently while supporting flow, yield, quality, and schedule adherence across lithography, deposition, and wet processes.

This is a 2nd shift position (2:30 PM–11:00 PM, Monday–Friday). Training will be on the first shift, and occasional future retraining will be required on first shift (7:00 AM–3:30 PM Monday-Friday)

Key Responsibilities

Perform hands-on manual wafer processing, including careful loading, unloading, carrier movement, tool preparation, and lot handling using approved cleanroom methods

Operate tools while manually verifying setup conditions, recipes, materials, lot identity, and process readiness prior to execution

Maintain strict adherence to cleanroom protocols, contamination control practices, safety requirements, and documented work instructions

Record, verify, and track production data in MES systems, including SPC entries, equipment logs, lot travelers, and manual process documentation

Perform inspection, basic metrology, and visual verification to confirm process output quality and identify abnormalities early

Identify and escalate equipment issues, process deviations, material concerns, contamination risks, or product quality risks with clear supporting details

Support troubleshooting and corrective actions alongside engineering and senior technicians while maintaining production discipline and documentation accuracy

Maintain accurate records for lot travelers, tool usage, process runs, rework activity, and shift-to-shift handoff communication

Shift Expectations

Focus on accurate manual execution, production flow, lot movement, and schedule adherence rather than process development

Operate with a high level of ownership, judgment, and discipline during off-hours when engineering and support resources may be limited

Demonstrate the experience and maturity required to follow complex instructions, recognize abnormal conditions, and stop or escalate work when appropriate

Ensure clean, complete, and accurate handoff to the next shift, including WIP status, tool status, open issues, and risk items

Qualifications

High school diploma or equivalent required; technical training, military technical experience, or associate degree in a related field preferred

Minimum 3–5 years of hands-on semiconductor, cleanroom, microfabrication, precision manufacturing, or similarly controlled production experience required

Demonstrated experience performing manual wafer handling, manual lot movement, tool loading/unloading, inspection, and process documentation in a controlled environment

Working knowledge of MES/workflow tracking systems, lot travelers, SPC entries, and production documentation practices

Computer skills, including email, data entry, production tracking, log review, and clear written shift communication

Proven ability to work independently, follow detailed work instructions, and escalate issues appropriately in a production environment

Preferred Skills

Strong contamination awareness, manual dexterity, and attention to detail in repetitive precision-processing tasks

Ability to follow process instructions, work instructions, SOPs

Experience recognizing abnormal tool, material, wafer, or process conditions and escalating concerns before continuing work

Effective written and verbal communication across shifts, including concise passdown of tool status, WIP status, holds, delays, and risk items

Problem-solving mindset with willingness to escalate early and maintain product protection as the priority

Team-oriented, dependable, and comfortable working in a high-discipline production environment

Physical Requirements

Standing and walking up to 8–10 hours per shift in a cleanroom environment

Manual handling of wafer carriers, cassettes, materials, and production supplies up to approximately 25 lbs

Strong fine motor skills and steady manual control for precision wafer handling, tool loading, unloading, and inspection activity

Ability to work in full cleanroom PPE for extended periods while maintaining focus, accuracy, and contamination-control discipline
