Job Title
Nanofabrication/Integration Engineer (limited-term)Job Description
Be part of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to advance microelectronics and semiconductor technology and accelerate the transition of technical innovations to prototypes and manufacturing. The University of Notre Dame is supporting the Microelectronics Commons, a new federal program, launched in the fall of 2023. The Commons is a national network of universities and industries, coordinated to enable lab-to-fab chip prototypes for defense and commercial applications and bridge the technical divide between proof-of-concept demonstrations and manufacturing. The Microelectronics Commons is creating on-shore capabilities to reduce the country’s reliance on foreign microelectronics and safeguard the nation from supply chain risks.
The University of Notre Dame has been engaged for decades in collaborative pathfinding research with the semiconductor industry. Notre Dame led three national Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) centers, from 2008 through 2023. Notre Dame has state-of-the-art facilities for semiconductor devices and integrated circuit fabrication and characterization, including the Notre Dame Nanofabrication Facility and the Notre Dame Integrated Imaging Facility. Campus centers and institutes, like Notre Dame Nanoscience and Technology and the Center for Sustainable Energy, aid in building a versatile and collaborative research enterprise supporting larger research efforts.
The Nanofabrication/Integration Engineer will help to bring the lab-to-fab concept to life by working with researchers on projects in the Notre Dame Nanofabrication Facility. The Nanofabrication/Integration Engineer will be responsible for developing expertise on the nanofabrication facility tools, executing projects for external customers, documenting processes, and training users on facility tools.
The successful candidate will:
- Be self-motivated
- Be experienced with microelectronics fabrication
- Effectively communicate with internal and external collaborators, instrumentation vendors, University personnel, and other hub members
- Be flexible to support Commons’ projects in the wideband test facility, as needed
Essential duties and responsibilities include:
- Execute processes for external users
- Develop expertise in nanofabrication tools and facilities
- Develop and document processes to meet customer needs
- Work with and train onsite users
- Work with customers to write project proposals
- Deliver updates and reports to meet program milestones
- Communicate with users and engineering counterparts across the hub and greater Commons network
- Improve equipment, utilization, efficiency, and capability
This is a 5-year, limited-term position, contingent on funding, with the aim to move to a sustainable cost model at the end of the 5-year term.
Minimum Qualifications
- Be a U.S. Citizen
- Master’s Degree in electrical engineering, micro/nano technology, solid-state physics, or related fields.
- Strong interpersonal skills.
- Strong written and oral communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively in a highly technical environment
Preferred Qualifications
- Strong technical background in semiconductors and microelectronics, especially micro/nano fabrication techniques
- 1+ years of relevant experience
