The job description is:

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
School of Engineering

Assistant Director of Facilities, MIT.nano

Job Description:

This is a SRS Facilities Staff position for MIT.nano which is currently part of the School of Engineering at MIT.  MIT.nano is an approximately 214,000 gsf state-of-the-art laboratory complex that will support more than 100,000 sf of new laboratory space.  This position will report to the current MIT.nano Associate Director for Operations and then the MIT.nano Managing Director upon its opening in 2018.

MIT.nano will contain a fully-equipped 40,000 sf nano-fabrication cleanroom, as well as an additional 60,000 sf of facility-intensive specialty research spaces, dedicated imaging & characterization spaces, prototyping laboratories, a subfab, additional clean spaces, and staff support spaces.  In addition, the building will contain approximately 114,000 sf of highly complex facilities space for supporting the programmed spaces as describe above.  The facility will serve a large research and development community of faculty, students, businesses, and staff by providing a shared environment for fabrication, study, and imaging of novel nanostructures, materials, devices, and processes.

While MIT.nano is being built, the candidate will become intimately familiar with the facilities infrastructure of MIT.nano (including the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of these systems).  They will be expected to work with the architects, contractors, MIT facilities, and the construction team under the direction of the Associate Director for Operations.

The following outlines the responsibilities of this position in more detail:

1.)   The candidate will coordinate with the current MIT.nano Associate Director for Operations to assure that the candidate becomes intimately familiar with the MIT.nano building systems that include, but are not limited to:  (1) DIHOH, (2) process chilled HOH, (3) HVAC, (4) security, (5) video, (6) acid waste neutralization, and (7) power distribution.  The scope of this responsibility will include the eventual managing of a component of MIT.nano's staff (as MIT.nano is stood-up), implementing programs for repair, maintenance, installation, and upgrades.  In addition, the candidate will be responsible for additions to MIT.nano infrastructure that will improve the capabilities of the base build of the laboratory.
2.)   The candidate will prepare and participate in the commissioning of all MIT.nano building systems.  In addition, the candidate will establish a support structure for those systems once they become operational.  This will include establishing an effective working relationship with the appropriate MIT facilities organizations to assure that the building is operating at peak efficiency in regard to its energy consumption as well as its delivery of facilities to the laboratories within.
3.)   The candidate will assist the Managing Director of MIT.nano by acting as a technical spokesperson for the MIT.nano's facilities and the operations of those facilities.  This will include understanding the research programs within MIT.nano and be able to participate in the promotion of the laboratory around the Institute and beyond. The candidate is also expected to reach out to the MIT community at-large to investigate how MIT.nano's facilities may be creatively applied toward an ever-widening research base and to encourage new users to avail themselves of the MIT.nano's capabilities.
4.)    The candidate will actively participate and assist the Managing Director in the planning of program and financial goals for MIT.nano, on both a technical and managerial level, and will be responsible for their timely achievement.
5.)   The candidate will be required to interface with equipment and tool vendors which will demand a thorough and, preferably, expert knowledge of the technical details associated with both HVAC systems and laboratory instrumentation.
6.)   The candidate will coordinate with building 39's Chemical Hygiene and Safety Officer (CHSO) in fulfilling their duties with respect to MIT.nano.  These activities will include, but not be limited to, coordinating lab inspections, chairing safety meetings, attending MIT EHS safety seminars, maintaining building safety records, and assisting building occupants to ensure they comply with all applicable MIT EHS, local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
7.)   The candidate may be requested to assist, as tasked by the Associate Director for Operations, staff responsible for the operational and safety needs of a large interdisciplinary research building, building 13, during the construction of MIT.nano.  This building abuts MIT.nano and houses advanced imaging and characterization tools, highly specialized laboratories, growth facilities, faculty offices, and staff offices.  As MIT.nano nears completion the candidate will transition to full-time support of MIT.nano.
8.)   The candidate will be expected to establish and maintain contacts with peer institutions with similar facilities, to coordinate collaborations and mutual best known methods (BKM's) for operations of similar facilities.

Requirements:

*         Bachelors in Electrical, Mechanical, Material Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics or related discipline. Master's degree preferred.
*         Minimum of five years of experience in semiconductor process facilities or equivalent.
*         Highly knowledgeable with direct experience in design, operation, and maintenance of cleanroom facilities for semiconductor and materials fabrication, including air cleanliness, pressure balance, temperature stability, and humidity control.
*         Highly knowledgeable with direct experience in HVAC, electric power, piping and plumbing systems, exhaust fans and machinery required to maintain building-wide supply of compressed air, house vacuum, and process cooling water systems.
*         Highly knowledgeable with direct experience of cleanroom and laboratory safety systems, including hazardous gas detection, emergency response protocols, exhaust systems (toxic, corrosive, and heat), general abatement, spill control, fire detection, and suppression.
*         Knowledgeable with direct experience in process-specific aspects of semiconductor and materials fabrication such as high purity piping systems for process gases, ultra pure DI water, toxic gas storage, bulk gas delivery systems, hazardous waste treatment and abatement of effluent streams.
*         Experience with the facilities requirements of cleanroom processing equipment (vacuum, wet chemical processing, diffusion, furnace, plasma, and photolithography systems).
*         Experience in project management is desirable, including scheduling of complex renovation and maintenance workflows, as well as financial planning for new capital equipment and major maintenance.
*         Must have excellent written and oral communications skills as well as strong interpersonal skills and ability to work alone or within a team environment highly desirable.
*         Must have demonstrated maturity of judgment, goal-oriented management experience, and a personality that will allow the candidate to function in a highly research-oriented yet disciplined environment that requires strong interaction with faculty, students, and research staff, as well as sponsors and industrial partners.

I encourage all candidates with an interest to apply .... thanks ...
