Materials Chemist And Scientist

The group seeks a materials chemist and scientist to execute synthesis and analysis of exploratory materials and chemicals to enable highly-capable electronic microsystems. Duties will require familiarity with synthetic chemistry, thin film processing, and surface science to lead applied research to develop and test new and alternative materials and processing concepts. Familiarity and ability to work in both research-class laboratories and production-class cleanrooms is highly desirable. In addition to technical skills, the group seeks well-rounded candidates, with the ability to work effectively in a multi-disciplinary team and give clear, compelling presentations. Further, we seek a candidate with the ability to take initiative, who can work independently, rapidly grasp new concepts, and meet deadlines.

Duties:

• Synthesize new materials and develop new processes for wide range of electronic microsystems
• Work in laboratory and cleanroom spaces
• Make presentations to diverse audiences
• Write reports, papers, and/or patents as appropriate

Qualifications

• Experience with design of experiments, data and analysis acquisition
• Experience working in a semiconductor, MEMS, or other microfabrication setting
• Hands-on experience with materials synthesis, processing, characterization, failure analysis and metrology
• PhD (or equivalent experience) in analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, materials science, or a similar field of study.

• Familiarity with writing scripts/programming (MATLAB, Python, LabView)
• Experience with project management
• Ability to maintain and operate unique processing equipment
• Familiarity with additive manufacturing/3D printing
• Computational materials science (density functional theory, molecular dynamics, etc.), artificial intelligence, machine learning
