Microfabrication engineer

We have an open regular position for an engineer in the field of microfabrication. The IBM Research Laboratory in Rüschlikon is currently building a new center for nanotechnology, called NETL (Nanoscale Exploratory Technology Lab), to conduct exploratory and applied research for micro- and nanoelectronics, MEMS/NEMS, nanophotonics, sensors, and post CMOS technologies. The cleanroom facility within this center will house a set of tools for micro- and nanofabrication and will open in early 2011. The open position is available immediately.

The candidate should have an engineering degree and a few years' work experience in a cleanroom environment for micro- and nanofabrication. The candidate will contribute in the beginning to tool procurement, installation and acceptance and will later be responsible for the operation of a set of tools in areas such as thin-film deposition, lithography, thermal processing or wet and dry etching. Education and training of users will also be an important aspect. The cleanroom facility in the new center will be shared amongst IBM Research, ETH Zurich and other third parties. The ability to work in an open, multi-cultural environment, good communication and English-language skills are prerequisites.

IBM is committed to diversity at the workplace. Excellent, flexible working arrangements enable both women and men to strike the desired balance between their professional development and their personal lives.
