Science is developing technologies for a range of serious unmet medical needs. We are unafraid to take difficult technical risks, secure in the knowledge that with a clear understanding of what we are doing and with support from powerful modern tools, more progress is possible than might be immediately obvious. Regardless of role or team, the two most important factors we look for in a candidate are evidence of exceptional ability and the addition of positive energy to the group. As a small, very early stage team in a largely unstructured environment, the ability to independently orient yourself to the problems that need to be solved and then follow through is essential.
We are looking for a motivated Manual Wafer Processing Technician to support the manufacturing of MEMS devices. This technician will be responsible for wafer processing that occurs outside of the main cleanroom – including, but not limited to, manual wafer spinning, wet chemical etching/cleaning, electroplating, and dicing. This position will be responsible for the manufacturing of development and production wafers, with ownership over product quality, cycle time, and related issues.
