    Position Overview:


    In this role, you will focus on the design, fabrication, and testing of devices in the micro-size scale using a state-of-the-art cleanroom fabrication facility.

    This role will be part of the fabrication team comprised of mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, imaging specialists, and microfabrication and micro/nano technology experts.

    The work with this multidisciplinary group of researchers will cover design, fabrication, and testing of medical devices with a specific focus on novel drug delivery devices.

    The position also covers many aspects of design and fabrication including work with microfabrication (photolithography, thin film deposition, wet and dry chemical etching, metrology, packaging, 3D printers (SLA and FDM), Laser micromachining, and many other mechanical fabrication/testing equipment.


    Responsibilities:

    • Work with postdocs to design prototype medical devices and drug delivery systems
    • Microfabrication of MEMS in a cleanroom facility
    • Formulate and perform chemical/mechanical characterization of polymeric materials for
    drug delivery


    • Execute statistical analysis of experiments
    • Summarize and document research results/findings

    Required Qualifications & Skills:


    Pursuing a research position post-graduation from a B.S or M.S., or equivalent in mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, or a related field; at least 6 months of relevant experience (co-op and internships considered).

    An ideal candidate will have a research background in MEMS, microfabrication and mechanical/electrical engineering, as well as hands-on experience/rapid prototyping skills, but training to gain further skills will be available.

    Candidates with relevant experience in the following areas are encouraged to apply:


    • MEMS/NEMS devices
    • Microfabrciation (photolithography, thin film deposition, wet and dry chemical etching
    (RIE, DRIE), metrology (SEM, profilometer), Packaging.


    • CAD (L-Edit, SolidWorks)
    • Biomedical device design and development
    • Material characterization (biomaterials and plastics, experience with Instron testing
    machines)


    • Additive manufacturing/3D Printing (FDM and SLA)
    • Plastic injection molding (extrusion, injection molding, and compression molding)
    • Drug delivery/pharmaceutical sciences
    • Documentation skills and skills in writing standard operating procedures
    • Simulation (COMSOL) preferred
    • Matlab/Arduino programming preferred

    Candidate must have self-motivation and willingness to learn new tools and techniques; strong organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills; ability to work independently and as part of a team; comfort summarizing and reporting results to interdisciplinary researchers; commitment to exceeding standards and producing accurate, high-quality work; meticulous attention to detail; practiced documentation skills; and ability to follow safety procedures and maintain a safe work environment.
