Chemical Engineer

Job Duties:

Develop and optimize the fabrication processes for MEMS devices and participate in SBIR programs. Specifically,

• Design, plan, and execute Design of Experiments (DOE) to develop, characterize, and optimize MEMS fabrication processes, including but not limited to Thin-Film Deposition (DC/RF magnetron sputtering system and thermal evaporator), Wet and Dry Etching (RIE and DRIE system), Lithography (SÜSS MA/BA6), and Cleaning and Surface Preparation (plasma asher).
• Identify, diagnose, and troubleshoot complex issues related to chemical equipment and processes. Implement robust and effective corrective and preventive actions.
• Perform tests and monitor performance of processes throughout stages of production to determine degree of control over variables such as temperature, pressure, mass flow rate, and composition.
• Establish comprehensive process documentation, including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Process Flow Diagrams, and Control Plans.
• Maintain fabrication equipment and facility to ensure production efficiency, and dispose hazardous waste in compliance with safety and environmental regulations.

• Contribute technically to SBIR research programs by designing and conducting proof-of-concept experiments.
• Perform data analysis to interpret experimental results, draw meaningful conclusions, and determine future research directions.
• Prepare detailed technical reports, presentations, and progress updates for both internal stakeholders and external technical point of contact (TPOC).

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a closely related field.
