MEMS / MST Process Engineer in Bonn, Germany

For more information: http://www.mpibpc.mpg.de/data/jobs/301_en.pdf

Overview

Our group at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (Goettingen) is looking to fill the position of an experienced MEMS process engineer in collaboration with the Research Center caesar (Bonn).

Being a member of our young interdisciplinary team will engage you in challenging projects at the cutting edge of bioMEMS development. We provide a high level of independence and encourage the publication of your work through scientific papers, patents, and conference contributions. Working with leading scientists at the MPI for Biophysical Chemistry and at the Research Center caesar with full access to a world-class cleanroom facility (class 10/100) will be a stepping stone for your career.

Requirements

Minimum experience:
- >2 years cleanroom experience
- Photolithography
- DRIE + other etching processes
- Wafer bonding (fusion, anodic)
- Oxidation and/or LPCVD
- Characterization techniques

Responsibilities

Your core responsibility is the fabrication of micro-/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS, MST) at the cleanroom facility of the Research Center caesar in Bonn, Germany.

Successful applicants are expected to implement complex, multiple-mask processes in silicon and glass using photolithography, wet and dry etching, wafer bonding and vacuum deposition. Tasks also include the independent development of new process flows and design rules to optimize yield in a research environment. Candidates are expected to have at least two years of practical experience in microfabrication technology and should be eager to contribute with their expertise to the success of team projects. Some participation in basic equipment maintenance will also be expected.

Frequent communication with the team at the MPI Goettingen via telephone, email, and monthly visits of 1 - 2 days will be an essential part of the position.
