Key responsibilities:
- Develop and optimize thin-film deposition processes based on thermal evaporation, electron-beam evaporation, sputtering, and atomic layer deposition.
- Characterize deposited films using a variety of techniques.
- Collaborate with NFL engineers to integrate thin-film deposition processes into complete nanofabrication process flows.
- Oversee the operation, inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting of all thin-film deposition equipment, including deposition chambers, vacuum systems, and associated instrumentation.
- Collaborate with engineers responsible for the laboratory’s other technology nodes to manage, repair, and troubleshoot equipment failures and incidents.

Applicants must have a minimum of 10 years of relevant professional experience in thin-film deposition technologies, knowledge of other cleanroom-based fabrication techniques, and experience in the maintenance, repair, and operation of laboratory equipment and infrastructure.

In addition, applicants must demonstrate expertise in the following areas:
- Thin-film deposition technologies,



including thermal evaporation, electron-beam evaporation, sputtering, and atomic layer deposition.
- Cleanroom processes and protocols.
- Vacuum technology, including the maintenance and repair of dry pumps, oil-sealed pumps, and turbomolecular pumps.
- Detection and troubleshooting of leaks in vacuum systems and equipment.
- Design and installation of piping systems for process gas distribution.
- Assessment of facility requirements and utilities for the installation of new equipment, including electrical power, compressed air, vacuum, cooling water, process gases, and exhaust extraction systems.
- User support, including training, technical guidance, troubleshooting, and responding to user needs.
- Procurement of materials and consumables for processes and equipment, as well as the contracting of external services.
- Participation in the acquisition of new equipment through public procurement
