  • Contribute to the company vision for nanofabrication of photonic devices 
  • Review process control and troubleshoot fabrication issues


Required qualifications and experience

  • Degree in Physics, Engineering, Materials Science or a related field
  • 3+ years experience of nanofabrication in a cleanroom environment
  • Experience with broad nanofabrication suit, including optical and electron-beam lithography, dry and wet etching, thin-film deposition and SEM characterization
  • Experience with mask/GDS handling


Desirable Experience

  • PhD Physics, Engineering, Materials Science
  • Experience with fabrication of photonics or quantum technology components
  • Experience with proximity correction software
  • Experience with backend technology, e.g. electrical packaging
