About The Position

Microchip is hiring Production Specialists at our Fab 4 facility in Gresham, Oregon! We are invested in our employees, and our award-winning training organization will provide you all the tools, resources and support you need to be successful. Don’t worry if you don’t have cleanroom experience. Most new employees don’t! A cleanroom is the controlled environment where we manufacture microcontrollers. External pollutants or particles such as dust are cycled through HEPA filters constantly in accordance with cleanroom specifications. Temperature and humidity are carefully controlled and constant. Production Specialists wear a “bunny suit” that covers them from head to foot and includes a suit, hood, boot covers, gloves, face covering for your nose and mouth and safety glasses. A bunny suit is made from a lightweight, polyester material that you wear over your normal clothes – Jeans, shorts, t-shirts and tennis shoes.
