Job Description
The MEMS Process Integration Engineer will develop and optimize microfabrication processes for MEMS sensors and actuators used in high-performance aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications, leading design, fabrication, and characterization efforts to advance next-generation navigation and sensing technologies.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize microfabrication processes for MEMS sensors and actuators.
- Design, fabricate, and characterize MEMS-enabled devices and subsystems.
- Conduct layout design and experiments, and analyze process data to provide feedback.
- Lead tasks and eventually provide project leadership in MEMS process development.
Requirements
- Ph.D. or Master’s Degree in a physical science or engineering field with 5 years of fabrication process experience in an R D environment
- Strong track record of process development, process optimization, design of experiments methodology, statistical data analysis and problem solving
- Solid verbal and written communication skills in a multi-person team environment, and ability to enable cross-laboratory collaboration and coordination
- Ability to combine disparate process recipes into a full fabrication flow and understand the impact of process interdependence
- Experience and process development expertise in contact stepper photolithography, wet and plasma dry etches, high aspect-ratio deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) of silicon, glass and other MEMS relevant materials, chemical vapor deposition, dielectric and metal depositions, wafer bonding and vacuum encapsulation of microscale structures, sacrificial and structural layer creation, and wet/dry release processes
- Ability to conduct metrology such as optical infrared microscope inspections, interferometric measurements, and scanning electron microscopy with elemental analysis
- Experience in designing, modifying, or reviewing mask layouts in CAD layout software such as L-Edit or Cadence
- Must be able to perform safely in a MEMS microfabrication cleanroom and follow standard operating practices
- U.S. Citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Security Clearance
