[labnetwork] Hewlett Packard Labs - Cleanroom Process Engineer

[Rand Jean]

Hi all,


Hewlett Packard Labs seeks a talented, enthusiastic individual to work as a
laboratory/process engineer to supervise the planning, operation and
maintenance of a research clean room and associated analytical and test
instruments.  This person will report to the Operations Manager for Hewlett
Packard Labs, and work directly with researchers to understand their
equipment and clean room needs.  This person will:

   -

   Have experience with some or all of the following: cleanroom processes,
   wet/dry material etching, thin film deposition, resist spin coating,
   photolithography and ebeam lithography, nano-imprinting, thermal annealing,
   the operation and maintenance of cleanroom process systems, acid and
   solvent wet benches, ICPRIE, ICPCVD, ALD, sputter deposition, ebeam
   deposition, mask aligner, and RTA
   -

   Have worked with or have equivalent experience with characterization
   tools, optical microscope, Dektak, Nano spec, ellipsometer, and surface
   profiler,  SEM, FIB, AFM, EDS
   -

   Be familiar with cleanroom resource management: materials, chemicals and
   safety protection
   -

   Recommend new instrumentation for acquisition and installation; maintain
   existing equipment through service contracts or using internal resources
   -

   Work with corporate facilities personnel to insure that infrastructure
   is operating properly
   -

   Interface with HPE health and safety and with corporate security
   personnel to maintain a safe working environment; participate in the
   Hewlett Packard Labs safety groups; have a leadership role in cleanroom
   tools and safety training.
   -

   Work with the fire department and other local government entities to
   obtain permits for equipment and operations as needed.
   -

   Provide after hours emergency response coverage, shared with others on
   the team.

Examples of activities to be supported:

   -

   Nanofabrication equipment preventive maintenance, training support, and
   tool process baseline test and maintaining.
   -

   Major technical areas include Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) tools
   (thermal evaporator, e-beam evaporator, and sputtering), packaging and
   back-end equipment (wire bonder, flip-chip bonder, wafer cleaver, chip
   dicing saw...), wet process and various metrology tools.
   -

   Work with staff to maintain Scanning Electron Microscope systems, as
   well as other measurement instruments for nanofabrication.
   -

   Assist staff and train users to operate a diverse range of scientific
   apparatus, and configure them for new experiments, develop processes and
   recipes, and author SOPs and related documents.
   -

   Act as champion of prescribed safety rules and regulations to maintain
   high quality standards and a safe environment in the cleanroom.
   -

   Accurate record keeping of instrument maintenance and repair logs is
   expected.

Hewlett Packard Labs may become a shared-use facility. Collaboration with
Labs personnel and users of other companies to achieve objectives and
enhance service quality is required.

Basic Qualifications

   -

   A Bachelor’s degree of Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical
   Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related
   field with 5 years or more working experience are required.
   -

   Experience in proper handling and disposal of potentially hazardous
   materials (e.g. clean room gases and solvents) and working knowledge of
   electrical/electronic systems are also required. Hands-on experience
   required, working in class 1 to 1000 Clean Room 60-80% of the time, should
   be comfortable with equipment and their limitations:
   -

   For thin film etching and deposition: RIE, PECVD, ALD.
   -

   For thin film metal deposition: E-beam Evaporator and Sputter
   -

   Metrology tools: SEM, AFM, Ellipsometer, Dektak, …

Additional Qualifications Desired

   -

   A Masters Degree in a relevant discipline would be advantageous, with
   some experience in research.
   -

   Knowledge of equipment vendors and ability to define systems for
   purchase and modify them as needed.
   -

   Working knowledge and hands-on skills with various microscopes and
   similar scientific imaging/analysis equipment and with complex
   electro-mechanical vacuum systems are preferred.
   -

   Laboratory experience and customer service experience are desirable.
   -

   The candidate should be self-motivated with a strong desire to learn on
   the job as needs arise, to succeed, and to further develop intellectual and
   practical professional skills.
   -

   Ability to work well in teams, to follow directives, and to adopt safe
   working practices is essential.


Physical Requirements:

   -

   Must be able to work in cleanroom, chemical, and measurement laboratory
   environments.
   -

   Will work around compressed gases, acids, solvents, vacuum pump oils,
   and other chemicals.
   -

   Manual dexterity will be required to work on large and small assemblies.
   -

   The position requires lifting of up to 50 lb. on an occasional basis.


All candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.
