Requirements

• Proven manual wafer processing (not just automation).
• Bond process development experience (not just production execution).
• Skilled in one or more bond types (anodic, hybrid polymer).
• Strong fine motor skills and attention to detail for precision bonding work.
• Experience in root cause analysis and process improvements for bond related issues.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent time management skills with the proven ability to meet deadlines.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Proficient with the fabrication and metrology tools and instrumentation related to MEMS component fabrication.
• Proficient with software tools and systems used for device design, modelling, and performance testing.
• Proficient with software tools and systems used for statistical process control, and reliability and failure analysis, including yield improvement.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Physics required.
