*Job Summary ***

Provides professional research and technical support for diagnostic and 
research projects, studies and experimentation in support of University 
research projects.

*Position Focus **
*

The Cleanroom is a central shared user facility with 7500 ft2 of space 
housing a full complement of process tools for materials fabrication 
over a broad spectrum of disciplines. The facility mainly supports 
internal researchers at the graduate and postdoctoral research levels 
directed toward micro/nano fabrication technologies with a minor number 
of outside industrial users. The Director serves as the operational 
leader managing the day to day activities in the facility. 
Responsibilities include oversight of technical staff, safety, user 
training in tool use and process development, equipment maintenance, 
tool acquisition and installation, and all aspects of activities 
performed within the facility. The Director works closely with 
facilities personnel, campus safety personnel (fire, EHS, medical), 
computer support, outside vendors and contractors, and internal 
administrative personnel (faculty, administrative staff, provost office) 
to control costs, provide accurate billing and maintain a safe and 
highly efficient laboratory serving the needs of the university. The 
Director will provide technical mentorship to users in research topics, 
process development, debugging tool and process issues as well as 
benchmarking processes for overall use and is committed to substantial 
hands-on transfer of experience in all areas of technical expertise 
including photolithography, chemical processing, vacuum deposition, dry 
etch and metrology. The Director will provide insight to needs, 
justification, budget estimates and potential schedules for new tools 
that require capital funding. Background should be broad in all areas of 
process engineering and the candidate will be expected to be prepared to 
update procedures, processes and practices as warranted by newly defined 
needs as they evolve over time.
