Location: Yorktown Heights, NY

Anticipated number of hours per week: Second Shift - 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM EST (Monday to Friday)

Job Description:

Background: You will be a part of a technical team executing semiconductor-like processing to create parts for many of these projects as needed. Semiconductor processing such as lithography, physical vapor deposition, wet chemical cleaning, dicing, bonding, and metrology, all in a clean room environment, as well as other thin film techniques are important skills for the positions available.

Excellent sample handling practices and dexterity are an absolute must because we often deal with small, delicate parts and our tooling is very manual and flexible (not typically automated). Applicants for this position must be highly motivated, excellent problem solvers, innovative and possess strong team skills with the ability to work effectively in a diverse environment.

Job Duties:

1. Process wafers and/or other substrates through plating, lithography (coat, expose, develop), wet and dry etch, clean, thin film vacuum deposition, packaging, etc.

5. Have a working knowledge of Microsoft Office.

Basic Skills, clearances and other elements required, in order of importance, and number of years experience, where applicable, in each skill:

1. Hands on processing experience in semiconductor-like processing steps.
2. Must have good dexterity and be able to handle small sensitive parts.
3. Must be capable of learning to operate new tools and learning new chemical processing steps.
4. Must be observant and based on technical knowledge, identify sources of variability and/or yield impact.
5. Must be very flexible to learn new tasks as the workload is varied.
