Job description

The Contamination Control & ESD Technician supports the semiconductor manufacturing environment by ensuring that cleanroom conditions and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protections meet factory and industry standards. This role conducts routine environmental monitoring, performs ESD audits, supports qualification activities, and assists in contamination or ESD‑related investigations. The technician works closely with engineers and cross‑functional teams to maintain a stable and compliant production environment, helping safeguard product quality, equipment reliability, and operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform routine cleanroom environmental monitoring, including airborne particle measurements, AMC sampling, metal contamination checks, and environmental logging.

• Conduct ESD compliance checks, such as wrist strap and footwear testing, equipment grounding verification, workstation audits, and point‑to‑point resistance checks.

• Assist engineers with tool and material qualifications, ensuring all new equipment, spare parts, and consumables meet contamination and ESD requirements before release to production.

• Support contamination and ESD excursion investigations by collecting samples, gathering data, performing preliminary checks, and documenting observations accurately.

• Carry out scheduled preventive maintenance and calibration for environmental and ESD monitoring instruments to ensure consistent performance.

• Maintain detailed and accurate documentation, checklists, and records to support process traceability and audit compliance.

• Perform cleanroom protocol checks, ensuring proper gowning, material handling, housekeeping, and contamination‑control standards are followed.

• Report abnormal conditions promptly and elevate potential contamination or ESD risks to engineers or supervisors.

• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Equipment, Facilities, and Engineering teams to support daily fab operations and ensure compliance across production areas.

• Adhere to all EHS, cleanroom, and company safety requirements while maintaining a high standard of workplace discipline.

• Participate in continuous improvement activities, offering suggestions to improve contamination control and ESD practices.

Requirements

• Nitec/Higher Nitec/Diploma in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Chemical Process, or a related technical field; equivalent hands‑on experience in a manufacturing or semiconductor environment is also accepted.

• Ability to work in a semiconductor cleanroom environment, following gowning, contamination‑control, and safety protocols.

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to follow standard operating procedures and complete tasks accurately and consistently.

• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively within cross‑functional teams.

• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, dynamic semiconductor fab environment with shifting priorities.

• Willingness to learn, adapt, and take ownership of assigned tasks with positive attitude and strong teamwork mindset.

• Experience with environmental monitoring tools or ESD test equipment is an added advantage.

• Able to work on 12 hours rotating shift (including night shift)
