[labnetwork] Process Engineer or Microfabrication Scientist

[Duff, Shannon M. (Fed)]

Dear Colleagues,

The Fabrication Project (https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/fabrication) within in the Quantum Sensors Group (https://www.nist.gov/pml/quantum-electromagnetics/quantum-sensors) at NIST (Boulder, Colorado) is seeking a Process Engineer or Microfabrication Scientist.  The Quantum Sensors Group designs, fabricates, and tests detectors and readout electronics that achieve world class performance for microwave, x-ray, and gamma-ray sensing.  Low temperature, superconducting, and quantum phenomena are harnessed to achieve extreme performance metrics.  Example devices include the Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID), Transition Edge Sensor (TES), and Microwave Kinetic Inductance Device (MKID).  The Fabrication Project utilizes the state-of-the-art Boulder Microfabrication Facility (https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/boulder-microfabrication-facility).

Candidates are expected to have an advanced technical degree and micro-fabrication experience, including direct handling of wafers.  Equivalent practical experience may be considered instead of an advanced degree.  A background in low-temperature device fabrication is desirable, but not required.  The successful candidate is expected to become proficient in a range of micro-fabrication sub-areas including CAD layout, lithography, physical vapor deposition, and plasma etching and deposition.  The successful candidate is also encouraged to play a major role in equipment maintenance, the acquisition of new equipment, process development, and the development and realization of new devices.  We will consider both junior and senior level applicants.  Interested candidates should contact Dr. Joel Ullom (joel.ullom at nist.gov<mailto:joel.ullom at nist.gov>).

Founded in 1901, NIST is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce.  NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.  The Department of Commerce/NIST is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
