i have an enormous amount of respect for PCB fab workers. PCBs are ubiquitous and mostly invisible, but it takes a surprising and hard to understand amount of expertise to make them reliably at any scale and price, much less at the scale and price we're seeing

Ya, I don't doubt it.
In the Motorola ingot-growing furnace area, we were required by the Phoenix FD to keep fire extinguishers handy but the establishment said to never use 'em because they'd contaminate the product. They made their own arrangements to fight fires in-house generally speaking but there's just so much the City was gonna put up with.
I think the real reasons that Motorola recruited me from the power plant I was working in wasn't confined to my troubleshooting control systems / interfacing on 3 big boilers/turbines, but mainly because I was female AND was also a first responder as part of my job description in the Instrumentation Dept. That's where I got an in-depth familiarity with combustion which included chemical combustion.
Come to think

Come to think of it, I can't decide which of those two jobs was more hair-raising: dealing with three 3 megawatt boilers & turbines or taking all those damn safety risks at Motorola. The Instrument Dept actually got a Safety Award from management we were so safety conscious. Motorola? Pffft.
