About the Role
Interns will gain experience in material science and engineering, focusing on thin film deposition, characterization, and nano/microfabrication within a cleanroom environment. The role involves executing a dedicated thin films project in a small team.
Responsibilities
- Develop and design thin film material stacks using deposition platforms (reactive magnetron sputter, evaporation, or chemical vapor deposition).
- Utilize characterization techniques such as ellipsometry, SEM/EDS, AFM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy.
- Collaborate with laboratory staff for nano/microfabrication techniques like photolithography, etching, and thermal annealing.
- Perform statistical analysis of data to interpret experimental results and plan future experiments.
- Document designs, test results, and best practices for knowledge transfer and continuous improvement.
Requirements
- 2 years of bachelor’s level coursework in a science or engineering field.
- Strong attention to detail and analytical problem-solving skills.
- Ability to apply first-principles engineering to novel materials challenges.
- Demonstrated ability to plan, document, and communicate experimental designs to cross-functional teams.
- Proficiency in physical sciences or materials engineering coursework through junior year.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary R&D setting.
- Hands-on experience with vacuum deposition and related metrology equipment preferred.
- Experience working in a cleanroom environment is preferred.
- This position does not support immigration sponsorship.
