Position OverviewWe offer a staff research engineer position to a scientist or engineer with hands‐on experience in nanofabrication processes for photonic devices. The ideal candidate will have experience working with platforms such as Silicon, Silicon Nitride, and/or Lithium Niobate. The successful candidate will contribute to the development, optimization, and scaling of fabrication processes for integrated photonics.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and optimize nanofabrication processes for photonic devices based on techniques like EBL and fs‐laser writing.
Prepare and manage masks for etching processes and ensure process reproducibility.
Perform and optimize dry and/or wet etching processes for nanophotonic structures.
Develop and optimize laser‐based etching processes for glass micro‐structuring.
Carry out metal deposition using e‐beam evaporation and sputtering techniques for lift‐off fabrication processes.
Work within a cleanroom environment, ensuring best practices and compliance with fabrication protocols.
Characterize fabricated devices using techniques such as SEM, AFM and other metrology tools.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams on device development, fabrication workflows, and process integration.
Contribute to research and development projects in integrated photonics, including interaction with academic and industrial partners.
This position will report to Prof. Dr. Valerio Pruneri, Director of the European Chips JU Pilot Line PIXEurope and Dr. Joel Moser, the Head of Nanofabrication Lab where the related activities will be hosted.
This contract has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe under the Grant Agreement # 101213727, Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) and the Spanish Ministry for Digital Transformation and Civil Service, and is supported by funds from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR).
