Job Title

Advanced Materials and Microsystems Group Engineer/Scientist

Lexington, MA Secret Polygraph Unspecified Career Level not specified $116,400 - $182,200

The Advanced Materials and Microsystems Group (G81) aims to leverage physical properties at the small scale to develop enabling novel materials, custom microelectronics, and multifunctional microsystems. Our activities range from developing new approaches to materials discovery, pioneering work on specialized microelectronic process technologies, embedding electronic devices in fibers and fabrics, and creating new materials and new processes for additive manufacturing. Our system application space is equally broad, encompassing low-cost picosatellites fabricated in a silicon foundry, additive manufacturing of radiation shields for protecting electronic systems, persistent monitoring of wide areas of ocean using arrays of sensors and hydrophones, and specialized microchips to test and validate cooling solutions for highly integrated high-performance microprocessors.

Our high-impact work is enabled by the Microelectronics Laboratory, the Defense Fabric Discovery Center, and other cleanroom facilities at the Laboratory. The group seeks an engineer/scientist to conduct research and development to advance the state-of-the-art in microelectronic devices from first-of-a-kind demonstrations to prototypes suitable for technology transfers for applications. The successful candidate will have demonstrated expertise in microfabrication processes and process integration, especially as they pertain to microsystems integration.

In addition to technical skills, the group seeks well-rounded candidates, with the ability to work effectively in a multi-disciplinary team. We seek a candidate with ability to take initiative, who can work independently, rapidly grasp new concepts, and meet deadlines.

• Develop, oversee, and document process flows for wide range of electronic device and microsystems (e.g lot owner) with demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex, multi-step microscale manufacturing processes
• Ability to plan, execute, and analyze systematic experiments to accomplish programmatic objectives
• Collaborate closely with process engineers to define and refine process flows, experiment planning, execution, and analysis of results
• Demonstrated ability and understanding of how to Work safely in laboratory and cleanroom environments
• Contribute to reports, presentations, papers, and/or patents as appropriate

• MS in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science and engineering, or a similar field of study.
• Experience working in semiconductor, MEMS, or other microfabrication setting
• Experience with hands-on microfabrication process development, process integration, measurements, metrology, failure analysis, and/or electronic device packaging
• Experience with design of experiments, device testing, data and analysis acquisition, and/or programming (MATLAB, Python, Lab View)
• Experience with photomask layout, PCB-layout, and/or mechanical design.
• Excellent hands-on laboratory skills, problem-solving, and oral and written communication skills.

• Familiarity with microfabrication and/ or laboratory processes and procedures for process technology transfers

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans
• MIT-funded pension
• Matching 401K
• Paid leave (including vacation, sick, parental, military, etc.)
• Tuition reimbursement and continuing education programs
• Mentorship programs
• A range of work-life balance options
• ... and much more!
