Cleanroom & Contamination Manager

Title - Cleanroom & Contamination Manager

A senior technical leadership role responsible for cleanroom contamination control, yield improvement, and fab-level contamination prevention strategy across particles, chemicals, metals, organics, ionic contamination, and AMC. Requires deep semiconductor fabrication knowledge, strong analytical background, and the ability to lead cross-functional contamination-reduction initiatives.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll be the cleanroom & contamination control champion for our fab. You will:

- Keep our cleanroom and tools contamination‑free (particles, chemicals, metals, organics, AMC). - Build and maintain automated monitoring systems to catch issues early. - Lead root‑cause investigations using data from tools, inline metrology, defect maps, chemicals, gases, and FOUP/AMHS history. - Define contamination standards for new tools, moves, and process changes. - Work closely with Process, Equipment, Yield, QA, Facilities & Production to improve yield and prevent contamination risks. - Run controlled experiments (DOEs) and lead improvement projects. - Mentor junior engineers and present findings to leadership.

What You Bring

- M.S / M.Tech in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or similar. - 7+ years semiconductor fab experience. - Hands-on knowledge of analytical tools (SEM, ICP‑MS, chromatography). - Strong understanding of wafer fabrication flows and contamination mechanisms. - Proven experience improving yield and solving complex problems. - Ability to drive cross-functional teams and deliver results.
