This may also include delivery of prototype devices. This position involves close collaboration with a highly technical team of research leaders to accomplish task and program objectives, contribute technically to proposal ideation, and conceive and execute internal research efforts refining core fabrication processes and capabilities. Fabrication responsibilities range from process design and supervision to full clean-room implementation, and will utilize a wide range of bulk and micro/nano synthesis/fabrication tools and develop novel techniques to create novel materials, devices, and structures with new properties. Key Responsibilities * Perform more complex tests, experiments, calculations, and/or simulations to determine physical parameters/properties and behaviors of materials and systems and conduct more complex data analysis on the results of measurements and/or simulations * Lead design of experiments for simple experiments * Generate documentation of experiments and results * Contribute to white papers and proposals * Contribute to technical reports/presentations of project results Additional Responsibilities * Design and fabricate prototype micro/nanoscale devices in support of programs at the interface of biotech and physical sensors (~50% time in nanofabrication cleanroom and related activities). * Assist with experimental device testing/characterization. * Consult on development of new sponsored programs. * Author technical reports and publications. * Keep up-to-date in relevant published literature and industry advances. * Participate in proposal writing and other business development activities. Required Minimum Qualifications * Candidates should be familiar with nanofabrication techniques including lithography, etching, thin film deposition, and bonding/packaging. * Candidates should be familiar with computer software for technical design/layout of nanofabricated devices (mask files). ## Related Videos - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Quantum Computing - The tiny and the big challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/934-quantum-computing-the-tiny-and-the-big-challenges) - [Data Science on Software Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/162-data-science-on-software-data) - [The Quantum Computing Future](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1145-the-quantum-computing-future) - [Schroedinger's cat: Thinking in- and outside the box of quantum mechanics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/216-schroedinger-s-cat-thinking-in-and-outside-the-box-of-quantum-mechanics) - [The Innovation Formula: Fast Prototyping, Data Analysis, and Real User Insights](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1421-the-innovation-formula-fast-prototyping-data-analysis-and-real-user-insights) ## Related Articles - [The Fastest-Growing Tech Sectors to Look Out for in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/373-the-fastest-growing-tech-sectors-to-look-out-for-in-2025) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [6 Emerging Technologies We’ll Learn About in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/381-6-emerging-technologies-we-ll-learn-about-in-2025) - [Welcome to Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/4-welcome-to-switzerland) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers)
