Full Job Description
AttoTude is seeking a hands-on Fabrication Technician or early-career Associate Process Engineer to support the development and execution of micro- and nanofabrication processes for our core technology. This role is based in the Berkeley Nanolab and works closely with AttoTude engineers and researchers to fabricate, iterate, and characterize devices in a fast-moving R&D environment. This position is well-suited for either: • An experienced fabrication technician who enjoys executing and improving complex process flows, or • A recent undergraduate graduate who wants a highly hands-on role that can grow into a process or device engineering position over time. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and excited to work on cutting-edge fabrication challenges in a shared-user cleanroom. Key Responsibilities • Execute micro- and nanofabrication process flows in the Berkeley Nanolab cleanroom • Operate fabrication equipment including: • Photolithography tools (spin coaters, mask aligners, developers) • Thin film deposition systems (evaporation, sputtering, PECVD) • Dry and wet etching tools (RIE, DRIE, wet etch) • Metrology and inspection tools (optical microscopy, profilometry, ellipsometry, SEM) • Support process development, optimization, and repeatability for AttoTude devices • Maintain detailed fabrication logs, travelers, and process documentation • Identify, troubleshoot, and communicate process or tool issues impacting device yield • Coordinate with Berkeley Nanolab staff on tool access, maintenance, and scheduling • Follow all Berkeley Nanolab safety, chemical handling, and cleanroom protocols • Contribute to continuous improvement of AttoTude fabrication workflows For early-career candidates: • Gradually take on increased ownership of process modules or device steps • Participate in process integration discussions and experimental planning • Learn to analyze yield, variability, and failure modes with guidance from senior engineers Annual Salary Range $90,000-$150,000 USD
