Cleanroom Production Technician

What the role is responsible for.

• Assemble, align, and test precision optical and photonic components to specification.
• Maintain cleanroom protocol and contamination control without exception.
• Record production data accurately and flag drift early.
• Perform first-line maintenance and calibration checks on production equipment.
• Contribute observations to process improvement — the floor is the best source of them.

What we need you to bring.

• Technical qualification in a relevant trade or science discipline, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Manual precision and the patience that goes with it.
• Ability to follow and to accurately record against written procedure.
• Comfort with cleanroom garment and protocol requirements.
• Working Japanese or English; training is available in both.

Useful, not essential.

• Prior cleanroom, semiconductor, or optical assembly experience.
• Familiarity with interferometry or optical metrology.
• Experience working to a formal quality system.

We read the preferred list as a description of a useful background, not a checklist. Candidates who meet the required list and none of the preferred are regularly hired.

Who you would be joining.

The Tsukuba production floor sits alongside the Advanced Research fabrication line, which means technicians see prototype and production work in the same building.
