What does a MEMS Engineer do?

A MEMS Engineer designs, develops, and tests micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices, which integrate mechanical and electrical components at a microscopic scale. They work on sensors, actuators, and other miniature technologies used in industries such as automotive, medical, and consumer electronics. Their role involves simulation, fabrication, testing, and optimization of MEMS devices to improve performance and reliability. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, including material scientists and electrical engineers, is also a key aspect of their work.

What does a typical workweek look like for a MEMS Engineer?

A typical workweek for a MEMS Engineer involves a mix of hands-on fabrication in cleanroom facilities, simulation and modeling of device behavior, and working with cross-functional teams such as electrical, mechanical, and process engineers. You may spend time prototyping, characterizing MEMS devices using analysis equipment, and troubleshooting design or process issues. Regular meetings and collaboration with product development and quality assurance teams are common to ensure projects meet performance and reliability benchmarks. This dynamic environment offers continuous learning and the opportunity to see your work move from concept to production.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Mems Engineer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a MEMS Engineer, you need a solid background in microfabrication, materials science, physics, and mechanical or electrical engineering, typically supported by a relevant bachelor's or master's degree. Familiarity with CAD tools, semiconductor processing equipment, cleanroom protocols, and software such as COMSOL Multiphysics or ANSYS is important, and industry credentials like Six Sigma certification can be beneficial. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication abilities set successful candidates apart. These skills are vital to ensure precision in design, troubleshoot complex devices, and effectively collaborate across multidisciplinary teams in fast-paced environments.

Job description

Position Summary

This position is responsible for supporting various wafer bonding processes (microbond WC) for the high-volume fabrication of MEMS (silicon wafer). The candidate will use their understanding of fabrication processes and product development methodologies to achieve the yield goals of assigned toolset/process step(s). The wafer fab process engineer will collaborate with product R&D teams to make decisions on process quality based on data and statistical analysis.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Develop fundamental understanding of assigned fabrication processes and product development methodologies against target yields
  • Determine wafer surface preparation and pre-bond cleaning requirements (plasma, wet cleans, dehydration bakes) to achieve high bond strength and low defectivity
  • Confirm bond alignment, bond tool operation, and post-bond thermal processing (bakes/cures) to ensure mechanical integrity and yield
  • Collaborate with:

· Other process and tooling engineers to execute process characterization, optimization, and margin studies including SPC, DOE, yield analysis, and defect reduction

·Equipment engineering, integration, and quality teams to drive process stability and continuous improvement

  • Contribute to FA by troubleshooting bond-related excursions such as delamination, voiding, particle-driven defects, and thickness non-uniformity
  • Support NPI, process transfer, and documentation (work instructions, process flows, FMEA, and control plans)
  • Occasionally work 40+ hours in a week to meet certain team milestones
  • Perform other duties as needed

Education and Credential Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field
  • Due to project scope - US Citizenship is a requirement to be eligible for this role. Eligible to work in the US without RLA sponsorship for employment visa status

Experience Requirements

  • 3-5 years of experience in a wafer bonding process engineer role
  • Wafer bonding processes supporting volume manufacturing and R&D environments
  • Wafer-to-wafer and wafer-to-carrier bonding (e.g., direct bond, adhesive bond, oxide bond, plasma/anodic bond) used in MEMS and advanced device integration
  • Familiar with IR inspection, metrology, and cross-section analysis to evaluate bond voids, alignment accuracy, and interface quality
  • Use of Quality Systems, Statistical Process Control, Design of Experiments, and basic statistical data analysis on tooling design, process development, and improvements
  • Preferred experience:

· Worked on MEMS products

· Collaboration with Mechanical Tooling and Process Engineers on designing custom jigs/fixtures for wafer handling

Skills Requirements

  • Ability to read, write, and speak English proficiently
  • High proficiency using productivity software such as M365 (Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, Teams and SharePoint)
  • Ability to use agile/scrum project/program management principles and methodologies to consistently meet task deadlines, triage changing priorities, and track issues to resolution
  • Ability to collaborate across diverse teams with a customer service mindset

Work Environment

  • The position typically operates in a standard office environment and/or from employee’s home
  • Be able to lift and/or move up to 25 pounds
