MEMS and Nanotechnology ClearinghouseSr. Process Development Eng (Contract Position)Analog Devices, Inc. (Cambridge, MA)OverviewAnalog Devices’ Micromachined Products Division (MPD) is among the company’s fastest growing businesses and among its most exciting. By leveraging Analog Devices’ 40 year legacy of innovative signal processing technology with over fifteen years of MEMS experience, ADI’s iMEMS® (integrated Micro Electro Mechanical System) technology integrates tiny moving mechanical structures with advanced signal processing circuits into a single package. The result is innovative MEMS inertial sensors that address a wide range of design requirements starting with low power consumption, small size, and reliability (consistent performance over temperature, and shock survivability). RequirementsJob Requirements: MS or PhD in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, Material Knowledge of MEMs wafer fab technologies, semiconductor processing, Electrical, Mechanical, Process characterization and layout required. Understands theory of Mechanical and Electrical systems utilized in MEMs operation. Additional Job Requirements: 3 years of experience in the MEMS semiconductor and MEMS process and characterization preferred Knowledge of SPC, DOE and FMEA six sigma tool is a plus Knowledge of foundry CMOS technologies preferred ResponsibilitiesCurrently the Micromachined Products Division has a position for a Senior Process Development Engineer position in the MEMS Advanced Process development group.
