Your future responsibilities
The team for Magnetic Microsystems and Technologies (MMT) at Silicon Austria Labs is looking for a motivated Senior Research Engineer to work on clean room microfabrication. You will be part of the FAMES pilot line project, which focuses on the development of self-biased circulators using ferrite materials. Initial research work will involve developing dielectric and magnetic layers for circulators using, characterizing samples and layers, and performing various fabrication steps such as lithography, etching, sputtering, and evaporation.
Senior Research Engineers at SAL take ownership of complex technical work, contribute to project planning and execution, and play an active role in both internal and external collaborations.
Your future tasks include:- Strong focus on magnetic microsystem devices
- Development and optimization of cleanroom fabrication steps (lithography, etching, lift-off, thin film depositions, metrology)
- Deposit and characterize dielectric and magnetic materials
- Ability to create and refine device process flows
- Execution of device-level characterization, including magnetic response (VSM, FMR), electrical performance (including RF), structural characterization (SEM, AFM, XRD) and overall device functionality
- Identify and solve fabrication-related issues (alignment, defects, yield, reproducibility)
- Accurate documentation of all process steps, measurements, and result
- Collaboration with the thin film team for magnetic thin film integration and with partners for device requirement definition
- Contribution to device prototypes and early demonstrator development
- Analyze and evaluate experimental data
- Contribute on time to deliverables and milestones
- Contribute to scientific publications
