Microfabrication Engineer

Position Overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic Entry-Level Microfabrication Engineer to join our team. This role is ideal for recent graduates or early-career engineers who have cleanroom coursework or lab experience and want to build a career in semiconductor packaging and  consumer electronics design. You will support senior engineers in process development, device prototyping, and cleanroom operations while gaining hands-on training in microfabrication tools and techniques.

Key Responsibilities

Process Support & Learning

Assist in running basic microfabrication processes such as photolithography, thin film deposition, etching, and wafer cleaning.

Support documentation of process steps, recipes, and results under supervision.

Learn to troubleshoot fabrication steps and contribute to continuous improvement efforts.

Prototyping & Fabrication

Participate in the fabrication of  microelectronic, or photonic devices.

Work with senior engineers to translate device layouts into cleanroom process flows.

Gain hands-on exposure to rapid prototyping and early-stage device builds.

Cleanroom Operations

Operate cleanroom equipment after training.

Follow strict cleanroom protocols for contamination control and EPA compliance.

Maintain accurate lab notebooks and logs of tool usage.

Collaboration & Growth

Work closely with cross-functional teams (materials, electrical, and mechanical engineers).

Participate in group meetings, design reviews, and technical discussions.

Actively seek mentorship and training to grow into an independent process engineer.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field (Master’s preferred but not required).

Coursework or lab experience in semiconductor/microfabrication processes (university cleanroom).

Familiarity with basic cleanroom tools.

Strong attention to detail, willingness to learn, and ability to follow safety procedures.

Good communication and teamwork skills.

Preferred (Nice to Have)

Internship, thesis, or project experience in microelectronics, or photonics fabrication.

Access to research labs and clean rooms of MIT and Harvard.

Familiarity with 3D printing or micro-assembly at the lab scale.

What We Offer

Mentorship from experienced engineers in semiconductor and consumer electronics.

Opportunity to work on real device fabrication projects with industry impact.

A collaborative environment designed for career growth and skill development.
