- Independently operate semiconductor fabrication equipment and troubleshoot process issues.
- Analyze experimental data and recommend process improvements based on results.
- Collaborate with materials scientists, device engineers, and characterization teams to accelerate technology development.
- Maintain accurate laboratory notebooks, process documentation, and experimental records.
- Ensure compliance with cleanroom protocols, safety procedures, and quality standards.
- Support the commissioning, qualification, and maintenance of fabrication equipment as required.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with other teams and team members across our organization to resolve material-related issues and support new process development. Participate in problem-solving activities, including root cause analysis and corrective action planning.

Minimum Qualifications:

- PhD or Master’s degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Chemical Engineering, or a related scientific or engineering discipline.
- Hands-on experience working in semiconductor or microfabrication cleanrooms.
- Experience with thin film deposition, photolithography, etching, or related semiconductor fabrication processes.
- Demonstrated ability to independently design and execute experiments.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent documentation and technical communication abilities.
- Ability to work effectively both independently and within multidisciplinary teams.




- Self-motivated with a strong sense of ownership and initiative.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience: Ideal candidates will bring over 3 years of hands-on experience in nanofabrication, showcasing expertise in cutting-edge techniques such as e-beam lithography, thin film depositions and nanoimprinting. Proficiency in cleanroom safety protocols, hazardous materials handling, and a deep understanding of current trends in semiconductor device fabrication are essential.
- Thin film transistor (TFT) fabrication
- Semiconductor process integration
- Vacuum deposition techniques (PVD, CVD, ALD, evaporation, sputtering)
- Process characterization and statistical analysis
- Device physics and semiconductor characterization
- Process optimization and Design of Experiments (DOE)

Working Environment This role involves hands-on work in a shared lab. The successful candidate must be comfortable working in cleanroom environments for extended periods and following strict contamination control procedures.

Because portions of the work are performed using shared equipment, flexibility in scheduling is required. Shifts may be scheduled to start and stop between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Sunday, depending on equipment availability, project priorities, and business needs. Occasional evening or weekend work may be required.

At Zinite, we prioritize our employee's well-being and offer a comprehensive advantages package, including competitive health and dental plans, generous vacation and leave entitlements and disability insurance coverage. Our salary packages are highly competitive which include performance-based bonuses. We are committed to recognizing and rewarding our employee's skills and contributions, fostering a culture of excellence and growth.

Pay: $80,000.00-$115,000.00 per year
