What is a contamination control engineer?

A Contamination Control Engineer is responsible for identifying, mitigating, and preventing contamination in controlled environments such as cleanrooms, manufacturing facilities, and laboratories. They develop and enforce protocols to control particles, microbes, and other contaminants that could impact product quality and safety. Their role often involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards. Additionally, they conduct risk assessments, implement contamination control strategies, and oversee facility cleanliness to maintain optimal working conditions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a contamination control engineer?

A successful Contamination Control Engineer typically holds a degree in engineering or a related scientific field and possesses expertise in contamination control protocols, cleanroom practices, and environmental monitoring. Familiarity with relevant standards (such as ISO 14644), particulate and microbial detection systems, and certification in contamination control or cleanroom operations are often essential. Excellent attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong communication skills help these engineers implement rigorous protocols and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These competencies are crucial to ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, maintaining product quality, and protecting critical manufacturing or laboratory environments from contamination risks.

What are the typical challenges faced by contamination control engineers in the workplace?

Contamination Control Engineers often encounter the challenge of identifying and mitigating sources of particulate and microbial contamination in highly regulated environments such as pharmaceutical, semiconductor, or aerospace facilities. They must stay updated with evolving industry standards and continuously optimize processes despite changes in production or facility design. Collaboration with quality assurance, production, and facilities teams is routine, requiring strong communication to implement preventive measures effectively. These challenges can be rewarding, as overcoming them is essential to ensuring product quality, regulatory compliance, and a safe working environment.

Job description

MATERIALS R&D TECHNICIAN, SILICON WAFER ENGINEERING

As a Materials R&D Technician, Silicon Wafer Engineering on Starlink, you will partner directly with engineering to rapidly bring online state-of-the-art silicon wafer fab R&D lines to develop and refine recipes for producing high-quality wafers. These wafers will feed internal solar cell fabrication for our next generation Starlink satellites and Starship missions to the Moon and Mars. You will be responsible for silicon wafer fabrication equipment commissioning, process development, monitoring and troubleshooting equipment, characterizing wafer quality, and transferring a stable process to the production teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Partner with engineering to rapidly bring online state-of-the art silicon wafer fab development lines that include wafer slicing, grinding, cleaning, degumming, and inspection stations.
  • Drive equipment commissioning, calibration, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
  • Perform hands-on wafer processing tasks (ingot cropping, slicing, cleaning, degumming, surface conditioning) to produce low-defect, high-reliability wafers.
  • Execute DOEs to optimize silicon recycling procedures and minimize contamination of raw materials.
  • Test and evaluate supplier materials (slurries, wires, adhesives, wet process chemicals) through contamination analysis and performance checks.
  • Perform silicon wafer characterization; ensure associated lab equipment is maintained and calibrated.
  • Safely handle chemicals and adhere to all EHS protocols to maintain a safe work environment.
  • Ensure 5S standards and cleanroom protocols are upheld by maintaining a clean and organized work area.
  • Participate in training exercises for production silicon wafer fabrication technicians, as needed.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • High school diploma or equivalent certification.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in semiconductor wafer manufacturing, cleanroom operations, or high-tech production (photovoltaics or silicon processing).
  • 1+ years of experience handling flammable, toxic, corrosive, and/or hazardous chemicals safely.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Bachelor's or associate's degree in a STEM field.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in silicon wafer manufacturing, with focus on slicing, cleaning, defect mechanisms, contamination control (metallic, organic, particulate), and surface chemistry.
  • Experience using and maintaining silicon wafer characterization techniques and equipment, including ICP-MS, GDMS, XRT, SEM/TEM, FTIR, resistivity mapping, and minority carrier lifetime testing (PL).
  • Proven ability to understand and accurately follow complex manufacturing procedures and adhere to safety requirements; strong attention to detail.
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills to work closely with engineering, other technicians, and cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to identify and maintain priorities for work scope.
  • Ability to rapidly change roles/responsibilities while working independently in a high-paced, challenging work environment with minimal oversight.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Must be open to work all shifts, overtime and/or weekends as needed.
  • Must be comfortable working in a production environment using hazardous chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and solvents.
  • Must be able to wear appropriate PPE for lab and electro-chemical manufacturing environment.
  • Must be able to walk and stand for long periods of time.
  • Must be able to lift 25 lbs. unassisted.
  • Must be comfortable with climbing up and down ladders, grasping, standing, lifting, bending, pulling, pushing, stooping, stretching, carrying, crawling, and maneuvering in tight spaces.
