What are the typical daily responsibilities of a PVD technician?

A PVD Technician is primarily responsible for preparing substrates, setting up and operating vacuum deposition equipment, monitoring process parameters, and performing quality checks on coated products. They often work alongside engineers and quality control teams to troubleshoot process issues and implement improvements. Keeping accurate process records, maintaining equipment, and adhering to strict safety protocols are also important aspects of the role. This position usually involves shift work in a cleanroom or controlled environment, requiring both independent initiative and strong teamwork.

What is a PVD?

A PVD (Personal Vehicle Driver) is a seasonal driver who uses their own personal vehicle to deliver packages, typically for companies like UPS during peak periods. PVDs are responsible for picking up and delivering packages while following safety and company guidelines. This role requires a valid driver’s license, a reliable vehicle, and the ability to lift and carry packages. It is a great opportunity for those looking for temporary work with flexible hours.

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

To thrive as a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) Technician, you need a solid background in materials science or engineering, technical training, and experience operating vacuum coating equipment. Familiarity with PVD tools, thin film measurement systems, and relevant safety certifications is essential. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication help you excel in managing complex deposition processes. These abilities are crucial for ensuring high-quality coating results and maintaining equipment reliability in advanced manufacturing environments.

Job description

  • Thin-film growth of self-healing refractory high-entropy coatings by independently developing recipes, designing and conducting deposition experiments on tungsten-based refractory high-entropy alloy thin films using DC/RF conventional/reactive magnetron sputtering with combinatorial PVD.
  • Characterization and data analysis of thin film thickness, crystallography, granular structure, stoichiometry, compositional analysis, topography, roughness analysis, by conducting and analyzing XRR, XRD/GI-XRD, SEM, TEM-FIB, EDX, AFM to correlate with the fabrication, radiation, and ion/neutron irradiation parameters.
  • Fabrication and integration of GNR-based local diagnostics by designing and fabricating 7/9-atom-wide armchair GNR/GNR-FET devices using bottom-up, on-surface and vapor-mediated synthesis. Developing integration strategies to transfer 7/9-AGNRs on deposited high-entropy coatings without degrading the optical and electrical performance.
  • Characterizing the optical and electrical properties of devices via correlating the fabrication and transfer parameters and the measurements from Raman spectroscopy and transport measurements to establish a baseline. Correlating the damage on high-entropy coating with AGNR device degradation after radiation, and ion/neutron irradiation exposure.
  • Coordinating with the collaborators/facilities and supplying samples for radiation and ion/neutron irradiation exposure experiments in Sandia National Laboratories/CINT and other collaborating facilities.
  • Designing experiments to gather adequate data for defect recombination, defect clustering, and self-healing behavior analysis.
  • Leading/contributing to publish/prepare publications of original research findings in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals.
  • Submitting abstracts and presenting research results at national and international academic conferences.
  • Mentoring graduate and undergraduate students in research projects
  • Provide training on experiments, and data analysis
  • Support the development of lab protocols, workflows and best practices

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs):

  • Hands-on expertise in using MBE and PVD systems, including DC/RF, conventional/reactive and combinatorial magnetron sputtering.
  • Proficiency in XRD, AFM, SEM/TEM-FIB, EDS, Raman spectroscopy, electrical measurements
  • Experience with cleanroom nanofabrication, including photolithography, etching, and device integration
  • Good communication skills to facilitate and manage collaborations.
