Electron Optics MEMS Fabrication Technician

MEMS fabrication technician, working in an international, high-tech environment with impactful research in the field of MEMS electron Optics.

A technician role with responsibility for optimizing and executing MEMS clean‑room processes such as (just to name a few): the wet‑chemical cluster (wet etching, sample cleaning, lift‑off etc), conductive and non‑conductive coating, optical, laser and electron beam patterning/lithography and related processes, RIE and DRIE etching, stacking‑aligning‑gluing, wire bonding. Moreover, the technician should work closely with PIs, PDs, PhDs and other colleagues to manage, improve and support the processes and to assist users.

In addition, in a close and interactive collaboration with other clean‑room members he or she should take part in:

• Managing and optimizing processes in the field of electron optics MEMS elements.
• Providing technical support to users (researchers, students, companies).
• Training and guiding new users (as discussed approved by the PIs).
• Contributing to the maintenance and reliability of the processes and equipment.

You enjoy working at the interface of fundamental research and industrial innovation, collaborating with both academic and industrial partners to achieve tangible results. Embracing the opportunity to work with leading industrial partners, you know how to collaborate and achieve meaningful results geared to the development of pragmatic applications. You also put your curiosity to good use: you don’t take anomalies for granted and take the initiative to dig deeper and spar with experts.

Harnessing your communication skills, you convince colleagues at TU Delft and others of your approach, models and designs.

• A BSc or MSc in Chemistry, Physics, Process technology, or a comparable field.
• You are motivated to further develop your expertise in clean‑room engineering and technology.
• You have a passion for transferring knowledge to students and company employees for the use of our advanced systems.
• A proactive attitude in executing and improving processes to achieve the best results.
• Good communication and social skills to collaborate effectively with students, scientists, professors, and industrial researchers.
• You are a team player, open and honest, providing critical but constructive advice and thinking in a solution‑oriented way.
• Good level of English (speaking in Dutch is a plus).
