Silicon Wafer Fabrication Operator

About

We probably don't think about silicon wafers very often, but we're interacting with them almost every day. They're the pieces of silicon that microchips are etched onto, and these microchips run just about every electronic device we use: from laptops to elevators; smartphones to door locks.

Fabricators are responsible for maintaining and cleaning wafer manufacturing equipment, load supplies, and coordinate with engineers and dispatchers.
