Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) Engineer - (9:00pm-3:30am shift)
About The Position
The MBE (Molecular Beam Epitaxy) Engineer manufactures InP-laser structures with MBE system, records and tracks the data of InP-laser wafer growth. Responsible for routine maintenance and calibration of equipment, wafer growth and characterization, monitoring and interpreting characterization results to the multi-disciplinary team of device fabrication, manufacturing of structures, and ensure quality to control yields and performance. Depending on experience and education, a Senior Engineer position may be offered. The Senior Engineer candidate should demonstrate the capability to independently identify failure or improvement areas in the MBE process without detailed instructions from management.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, or related discipline is required, Master's degree or PhD preferred.
- To be considered for MBE Engineer position, a minimum 3-year experience in experiment design, process control, and improvement in semiconductor laboratory or fabrication is required
- Hands-on experience in semiconductor characterization techniques, such as photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, etc. is preferred.
- Knowledge of compound semiconductor device theory is desired
- Experience operating MBE or MOCVD epitaxy growth systems is a plus
- Robust analysis and problem-solving skills.
- Comfortable to work under cleanroom hood and without any make-up.
- Willing to work flexible hours upon production request which may include 2nd shift and night shift production work schedule.
- Ability to lift and hold 20 lbs steady for 30 secs.
