Overview
Role: Micro/nanofabrication process engineer
At Pumpkinseed we are striving to illuminate the biological function hidden in proteins. We are building a technology that merges nanophotonics, large scale semiconductor manufacturing, novel chemistries, and machine learning to decode the building blocks of life at a scale and resolution that has not been previously possible. Join us to help engineer the breakthrough that will revolutionize how we understand and optimize human health.
We are seeking highly motivated individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, creative, and interdisciplinary environment.
Responsibilities- Fabrication: Fabricate micro/nanoscale devices in university cleanroom facilities and continuously drive process improvements.
- Characterization: Perform micro/nanoscale characterization (e.g., SEM, AFM, high-resolution optical microscopy, thin film metrology) to deeply understand and enhance device performance.
- Integration & Testing: Develop, optimize, and troubleshoot processes for integrating devices, rigorously testing their compatibility and performance with chemical and biological systems.
- Experimentation: Design and execute hands-on experiments with an exceptionally high level of attention to detail and data integrity.
- Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with chemists, biologists, and machine learning engineers to align hardware capabilities with broader system requirements.
- B.S. in an engineering or science discipline (Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related field)
- Demonstrated ability and comfort in quickly learning new tools, equipment, and experimental workflows.
- M.S. or 1+ year of industry experience
- Hands on experience in a cleanroom environment and familiarity with micro/nanofabrication and characterization techniques
