Science is an early stage company 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 Microfabrication Engineer focused on the development of our active microelectronic devices. Your main focus will be the design, fabrication and testing of active devices such as thin film transistors and other structures integrated into novel implanted devices . This is a hands-on position where you will need to layout devices and own their fabrication, either directly or together with partners. Our goal is to move quickly, but ultimately once we have determined the right solution we will aim to scale our work and help as many people as possible.
Role responsibilities:
- Design, fabrication and testing of active devices
- Integration of components with existing and novel devices
- In-sourcing and out-sourcing development as needed
Key qualifications:
- 4+ years designing and fabricating devices
- Transistor design experience (ie. TFT or CMOS)
- Strong device physics, design, fab and characterization knowledge
- Experience with different semiconducting materials such as metal oxides or amorphous silicon
- Strong interest in building the devices you design
- Excellent analytical skills
- MS in physics, EE, or similar discipline
Useful qualifications:
- Experience working with a-Si or IGZO
