Job description

** Hours may vary **
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Laboratory Technician for our semiconductor analytical laboratory. This role is responsible for sample preparation, tool operation, and, occasionally, root cause analysis in support of process development and manufacturing. The ideal candidate is industrious, enjoys hands-on laboratory work, follows procedures rigorously, and takes pride in high-quality, customer-focused results.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Prepare samples using cleaving, polishing, focused ion beam (FIB), and chemical treatments
  • Image and measure samples using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and scanning transmission microscopy (STEM)
  • Perform compositional measurements using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)
  • Determine root cause for failure of semiconductor devices
  • Write formal reports summarizing analyses
  • Perform preventive maintenance and repairs on equipment

SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE:
  • Basic understanding of semiconductor wafer fabrication and chemistry
  • Proficiency using personal computers and Microsoft Office Suite
  • Verbal and written communications including report writing

REQUIREMENTS
  • Associate's degree in chemistry / materials science / physics / electronics or equivalent hands-on experience in a lab in a manufacturing setting
  • Experience operating SEMs, FIBs, and/or STEMs
  • Skills in visual examination, using deprocessing equipment, and operating diagnostic equipment

PHYSICAL DEMANDS/WORKING CONDITIONS:
  • Ability to work in a lab environment. Examples:
    • Sitting or standing for extended periods of time
    • Frequent transitions between standing and sitting
    • Manually holding samples for polishing
    • Handling of hazardous chemicals and use of high voltage tools

*Sponsorship not available for this position*
*This position may require U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency status in the future depending on federal requirements.*
