Co-op Research Technician - Electrochemical & Electro-optical Characterization C3HB

E Ink Corporation•Billerica, MA

1d•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking a detail-oriented and disciplined research co-op to learn and execute fundamental electrochemical and electrooptical experiments. You will work closely with a senior researcher who will provide instruction on the theory underlying these experiments, guide subsequent data analysis, and mentor you in adapting established techniques to generate novel experimental variants. The bulk of the work will involve electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiostatic methods to investigate potential relationships between optical and electrical states. The role may also involve elements of statistical process control and will provide valuable exposure to sound experimental design principles. This work directly supports the development of a color platform for E Ink’s core ePaper technology.
