Open Position



Senior Micro/Nano Technology Process Engineer

Micro/Nano Technology Center

University of Louisville

The University of Louisville's Micro/Nano Technology Center (MNTC) is home to one of the premier multidisciplinary research facilities in the region.  The center encompasses a 10,000 ft2, 7-bay, class 100/1000 cleanroom facility for micro / nano technology design, modeling, fabrication, packaging, metrology and testing. The center supports a broad range of research performed by students, staff, faculty, post-docs, and industrial clients with interests in micro/nano fabrication and device development, including MEMS, CMOS, optics, and a variety of experimental devices.


The MNTC is seeking qualified applicants with experience in the areas of micro/nanotechnology and semiconductor processing for the open position of Senior Micro/Nano Technology Process Engineer.  A Ph.D is preferred with CMOS processing experience. The position's responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:



Interact With, Train and Assist Users of the MNTC: The position will be responsible for assisting internal and external users with tool use, process design, and proper handling of chemicals.  This includes teaching safety and cleanroom etiquette, writing and updating standard operating procedures (SOPs), training users to use microfabrication tools, and developing new processes. This position requires strong interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to work on multiple technical tasks concurrently.



Equipment Support & Repair:  The position also involves installing, characterizing and maintaining equipment in the cleanroom as well as ancillary equipment.  This will include working closely with field service engineers and infrastructure support with our toxic gas monitoring (TGM) and acid waste neutralization (AWN) systems.



MNTC Operational Support: This position requires supporting the safe operation of the cleanroom, including preventing incidents to people and equipment, and responding to incidents that may occur.


PI & Lab Manager Interaction:  The position requires working closely with the lab manager, faculty and industrial/academic researchers to support writing research and equipment proposals.


Educational Requirements:

The minimum requirement for this senior-level position is a Masters of Engineering or the Physical Sciences with substantial background in microfabrication and at least five years of directly-related professional experience. An advanced degree of Ph.D. is preferred.  A BS in Engineering or the Physical Sciences with exceptional work experience in lieu of the Masters will be considered.



Experience Requirements
The candidate should have experience with semiconductor processing, microfabrication techniques, cleanroom/safety protocols, and contamination issues.  Experience with toxic gases, wet chemical protocols and hazardous materials training are preferred.  A minimum of 3-5 years in semiconductor/MEMS device fabrication is required. Additionally, the candidate should have experience in training cleanroom users in all aspects of microfabrication in regards to process design, safety protocol, troubleshooting and testing. Experience and expertise in electrical/electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, and vacuum components as related to semiconductor/microfabrication equipment is desired. Experience with specific instruments such as, mask aligners, evaporators, metal deposition, plasma etch, horizontal tube furnaces and CVD systems is required.
