Description 

The Columbia Nano Initiative (CNI) at The Fu Foundation School of
Engineering & Applied Science of Columbia University in the City of New York
invites applications for a Senior Staff Associate II Cleanroom engineer in
the area of cleanroom operations. Assisting and taking directions from the
Cleanroom Director and reporting to the Director of the Shared Labs, the
cleanroom engineer will maintain efficient and effective cleanroom
operations. The cleanroom engineer will be responsible for the development
and testing of cleanroom processes and device fabrication. The cleanroom
engineer should be a master of nanofabrication processes and related
software. They should be able to advise students on their research and
assist with process development and recipe testing. The engineer will
develop training procedures and write standard operating procedures for
processes and instruments in the cleanroom. They will teach lab users how to
operate instruments and how to analyze the data obtained. The cleanroom
engineer will create facility protocols of equipment and lab systems'
maintenance. The cleanroom engineer will assist in installing new equipment
in the lab and will perform preventative maintenance and machine repair on
installed pieces of equipment in the cleanroom. This maintenance work
includes cleaning chambers and replacing machines parts as needed. The
cleanroom engineer will be responsible to order spare parts and consumables
needed for cleanroom operation, as well as materials.

The cleanroom engineer should be able to work independently, troubleshoot,
and resolve engineering problems involving both instrument repair and
process related challenges. The engineer should be able to study unfamiliar
techniques and applications quickly and independently. The cleanroom
engineer should be able to communicate clearly with lab users, other team
members, other departments of the university, and with vendors.

The cleanroom engineer will be responsible for maintaining safe and
effective working environment within CNI cleanroom, in compliance with all
University and government requirements and regulations as directed by the
university Environmental, Health, and Safety (EH&S) department. That

Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or related field is required. A
minimum of 5 years of working experience in a semiconductor fabrication
facility as an engineer or other related experience is required, 6-10 years
of working experience is preferred.  

Additional desired qualifications include: strong technical experience in
conventional nanofabrication processes used for electronic, physical, and
mechanical device fabrication; understanding of new and modern
laboratory-scale processes required for successful state of the art
fabrication including thin film deposition, electron beam lithography,
photolithography, back end processing, and reactive ion etching; Excellent
interpersonal skills and strong communications skills are needed--the staff
member will serve as a primary interface to cleanroom users; The cleanroom
engineer should have the ability to work with a wide variety of lab users.
Familiarity with equipment and methodology for characterization and
development of semiconductor fabrication processes, including microscopy and
metrology, is a plus.  

Other highly desired attributes include: excellent analytical reasoning and
problem solving skills; good organizational skills; ability to work with
frequent interruptions; ability to work with minimal supervision; knowledge
of safety and working procedures with hazardous gases and chemicals; and
