Job Summary

The Contamination Control and ESD Engineer supports the semiconductor manufacturing environment by ensuring cleanroom conditions and ESD controls meet industry and company standards. This role is responsible for monitoring contamination levels, supporting tool and material qualifications, and assisting in investigations when environmental or ESD issues arise. The engineer works closely with cross functional teams to maintain a stable production environment, improve reliability, and support continuous improvement initiatives. This position requires strong attention to detail, good problem-solving skills, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic fab environment.

Main 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.

• Execute ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) qualification and certification for First Of A Kind (FOAK) equipment, process tools, and newly introduced materials, ensuring alignment with fab level ESD controls and global semiconductor reliability standards.

• 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.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Materials, Chemical, Electrical, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related field relevant to semiconductor manufacturing.

• Hands-on ability to perform equipment setup, basic tool qualification, and troubleshooting within a semiconductor cleanroom environment while adhering to fab safety and contamination control protocols.

• Applies structured, data driven approaches—such as SPC, DOE, FMEA, or root cause analysis—to evaluate issues and support sustainable corrective actions.

• Familiarity with AI enabled and automation tools, such as Python, Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI, or Tableau, to support efficiency and data visualization is an advantage.

• Strong analytical, logical, and critical thinking skills

• Effective communicator, able to collaborate across all levels

• Growth mindset with a passion for continuous learning

• Internship or experience in the semiconductor industry is a plus

• Demonstrated leadership and a track record of impact are highly desirable

• Interest in and knowledge of the semiconductor industry and Micron

• Embody Micron’s core values:

People – Respect, develop, and empower others

Innovation – Drive continuous improvement and breakthrough thinking

Tenacity – Show grit and determination

Collaboration – Build trust and foster teamwork

Customer Focus – Deliver excellence and value
