  • Maintains personal competence and a broad knowledge of state-of-the-art nanofabrication techniques and equipment by involvement in professional activities, including attending conferences, user's meetings and training, reviewing papers, etc.
  • Assists facility manager and other staff with the development and enforcing of safety and operational protocols.
  • Coordinates the scheduling and tracks the usage of the nanofabrication equipment.
QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Masters degree in physics, engineering, or related field with at least six years of experience with nanofabrication equipment and processes. Ph.D. preferred. In-depth knowledge of the fundamentals as well as recent advances in the applications of nanofabrication techniques.
  • Strong mechanical inclination and troubleshooting skills. Ability to coordinate technical personnel to effect repairs and maintenance of complex equipment.
  • Strong attention to detail, persistence, follow through, and the ability to work with minimal supervision.
  • High energy, self-motivated with strong communication skills and personal work ethic, and a strong sense of ownership.
