Clean Job Sites

So, you want to move on from your boring, low-tech manufacturing job. Why not try something high-tech: clean manufacturing?

Just what is clean manufacturing? Clean manufacturing is the process of, usually, making semiconductors and other computer chips. It is relatively unique, in that many times you look like an astronaut or a doctor with the clean gear you must wear. It’s definitely a high-tech job sector.

Thus, for a high-tech, high-paying job in clean manufacturing, you need some good high-tech skills. As an example, Micron Technology is one of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers. They make various memory chips for a wide variety of applications. Looking at their current job postings as this article is written, they have jobs for majors in chemistry, computer engineering, materials science, physics, microelectronics, and industrial engineering, to name a few.

Let’s examine one job at Micron a bit closer: fab engineer. Micron wants at least a Bachelor of Science in any of these fields: electrical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, microelectronics, material science, physics, and chemistry. In this position you would be responsible for monitoring and improving things such as wet etch, chemical vapor deposition, and others.
