About the Role
This is a unique opportunity to join a talented team of scientists and engineers focused on solving critical challenges in molecular data storage. As a Scientist I in technology development, you will be primarily responsible for nanoelectronic measurements critical to our core technology. You will run day-to-day experiments to measure the electrical properties of nanoelectrode semiconductor devices interfaced with biomolecules in aqueous environments. The ideal candidate is a rigorous and detail-oriented experimentalist with a strong understanding of electron transfer and transport physics at nanoelectrode devices.
Responsibilities
- Perform quality control of as-received semiconductor devices using optical and electrical characterization methods.
- Perform low-noise, high frequency, electrical measurements on nanoelectrode devices to characterize picoampere to nanoampere range currents in aqueous environments.
- Independently process and analyze experimental data to determine next experimental steps and effectively communicate these results to team members and the wider company.
- Utilize an understanding of electron transfer in nanoelectrode devices to create simple models that guide experimental design.
- Perform surface functionalization of nanoelectrode devices using protocols developed by the surface chemistry team.
- Interface with engineering teams to optimize experimental setups to enable high throughput electrical testing of devices.
- Maintain detailed and meticulous records of all experimental work and analysis.
Requirements
- Master’s degree with >5 years of relevant industry experience, or a PhD with 0-3 years of experience in Physics, Materials Science, Physical Chemistry, Nanotechnology or a closely related field.
- Deep, hands-on experience performing low-noise, high frequency, nanoelectronic measurements on semiconductor chips; ideally in aqueous environments.
- Strong understanding of electron transfer and electron transport physics in nanoelectrode devices.
- Experience with electrochemistry techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, AC voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy as well as bipotentiostat measurements.
- Strong data analysis and scripting experience are highly desirable.
- Hands on experience in performing surface chemistry on semiconductor devices is desirable.
- Must be a creative and detail-oriented person with excellent analytical, verbal, and written communication skills.
- Exceptional collaboration skills and ability to work seamlessly in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
- Experience working in the biotech or semiconductor industry is desirable.
- Must be able to move about the laboratory and office environment regularly.
- Must have fine motor skills and steady hands to handle delicate instruments, operate laboratory equipment, pipette accurately, and perform repetitive benchwork with precision.
- Must be able to lift and carry up to 40 pounds occasionally.
- Must have sufficient visual acuity to read small print on labels, instrument displays, and computer monitors.
- Frequently exposed to typical laboratory conditions, including biological samples, chemicals, and reagents.
- Must be able to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as lab coats, gloves, and safety goggles as required.
