We are seeking a Clean Room Process Engineer to support advanced microfabrication manufacturing activities at our Great Baddow facility. The successful candidate will work across cleanroom processes (Class 7 or better) and will work on a production contract, ensuring high-quality outputs, adherence to strict process controls, and continuous improvement across manufacturing operations.
You will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams within a highly regulated and quality‑focused environment, consistent with BAE Systems’ standards of safety, professionalism and technical excellence.
Perform hands-on processing within minimum Class 7 cleanroom facilities (or higher), following gowning, contamination control and safety protocols. Execute and monitor a range of microfabrication processes including (depending on experience): Photolithography , Thin Film Deposition (PVD, CVD, ALD), CMP , Wire Bonding , Ion Beam Milling , Inspection and Metrology , Packaging , Lidding , Leak Testing , and other semiconductor or optoelectronic processes. Maintain accurate production flow, ensuring wafers/devices are moved efficiently through process steps. Operate cleanroom tools such as aligners, deposition systems, ovens, plasma etchers, CMP or polish equipment, visual inspection microscopes, and vacuum systems. Process Control & Quality Assurance Follow established manufacturing process documentation , SOPs and quality standards strictly, maintaining high levels of cleanliness and consistency. Support Quality Assurance , including inspection, device characterisation, monitoring, and defect analysis—aligned with expectations. Support cleanroom environmental monitoring requirements (e.g., Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow precise manufacturing processes consistently. High levels of manual dexterity for fine, delicate processing.
Desirable Skills/Experience (based on industry listings and semiconductor fabrication roles) Photolithography (resist coating, exposure, development) Thin Film Deposition (PVD, CVD, ALD, sputtering) Wire Bonding, Die Packaging, Lidding, Leak Testing Metrology & Inspection – e.g. optical microscopy, profilometry. You’ll be recognised for your contribution and enjoy rewards tailored to what’s most important to you and your family – support for your financial and personal wellbeing, as well as a balanced lifestyle.
