About the role

AI summarised

The Contamination Control and ESD Engineer ensures cleanroom conditions and electrostatic discharge (ESD) controls meet semiconductor industry standards. This role involves monitoring environmental parameters, qualifying equipment and materials for ESD compliance, leading investigations into contamination or ESD events, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to maintain production stability and improve yield. The engineer also develops monitoring protocols, ensures compliance with quality standards, and applies AI and automation to enhance operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

Monitor, analyze, and control cleanroom environmental parameters—including airborne molecular contaminants (AMC), airborne particles, and trace metals—to ensure compliance with stringent semiconductor fabrication requirements and yield critical specifications
Lead systematic investigations into Out of Control (OOC) and Out of Specification (OOS) contamination or environmental events, performing detailed root cause analysis and implementing robust corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to protect product integrity and wafer yield
Develop, optimize, and enforce contamination control and environmental monitoring protocols, ensuring all fab systems operate within defined statistical process control (SPC) limits and reducing variability across manufacturing modules
Collaborate closely with Manufacturing Operations, Process Integration, Equipment Engineering, and Facilities teams to address contamination risks, drive cross module improvements, and strengthen fab-wide quality and reliability performance
Ensure compliance with semiconductor-relevant quality and ESD standards, including ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and ANSI/ESD S20.20; coordinate with site and global quality teams to support audits, close findings, and enhance compliance frameworks across the fab
Apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) analytics and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions to automate data collection, improve contamination event detection, and enhance wafer fab operational efficiency and decision making
