Responsibilities:

• Support a wide range of consumable development efforts, including demonstrating the viability of new designs, evaluating process changes/improvements, and resolving urgent issues with on-market products. This may initially be in the areas of nanofabrication and surface chemistry but has the potential to also extend to other consumable technologies.
• Engage in development efforts with statistically rigorous experimental design and data analysis. This role has a specific emphasis on supporting investigations through laboratory measurements and data aggregation.
• Evaluate, optimize, and introduce new measurement systems to consumable research and development teams.
• Actively participate in transferring characterization tools to consumables manufacturing, including demonstrating tool robustness, designing prototype measurement workflows, and training manufacturing process engineers to own systems after transfer
• Assist with characterizing consumable systems and their interfaces with the rest of the platform
• Assist project teams with system level characterization and ancillary equipment support
• Provide feedback of information to sub-system owners and assist teams with system improvements
• Participate in root-cause analysis experiments and present findings to project teams
• Work with engineers to develop and implement procedures to reduce or eliminate sources of systematic equipment failures

Requirements:

• 0-2+ years relevant experience
• Experience with standard wet lab techniques (including the handling and preparation of solid, liquid, or thin film samples)
• Comfortable working and communicating across disciplines as applicants will often be balancing inputs from consumable design, process, fabrication, and chemistry teams
• Experience with statistical analysis (ANOVA, variance component analysis, gage R&R analysis)
• Experience with at least one scripting or programming language (python, R, C++, etc)
• Experience with image analysis (imageJ, OpenCV, or similar)

Experience/Education:

• Typically requires a Bachelor's degree and no previous related experience; or equivalent work experience
