The Nano Research Facility Engineer will be an integral part of the operation and maintenance of specialized nanotechnology research facility. The Engineer will set objectives and work independently on large, moderately complex projects or assignments involving the operation of a Nanotechnology facility. This involves the sophisticated building of automation systems that operate complex air handling units connected to HEPA and ULPA filtration for semiconductor ISO 3 class cleanrooms. An understanding of cleanroom airborne and surface particle monitoring techniques to meet ISO standards is integral to this role. The Engineer will be working with precision heating and cooling systems that support multiple Nano-research laboratories and research equipment. A strong understanding of industrial power distribution, power quality criteria, and specialized clean grounding systems are required for the operation of an RF shielded high accuracy laboratory. A keen understanding of electromagnetic interference monitoring and building vibration monitoring techniques is important to maintain Nanotechnology facility design. Experience in semiconductor fabrication involving chemical/environmental treatment systems or similar facilities is a significant advantage.
Required:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or similar field Two (2) years of experience with sophisticated building automation systems In lieu of a degree, consideration will be given to an equivalent combination of related education and required work experience Experience with building automation graphics, data collection, and understanding trending data to improve Nanotechnology building systems Experience with complex air handling systems for semiconductor ISO 3 class cleanroom Experience with industrial power systems with an understanding of power quality criteria and complex grounding systems Strong knowledge of building automation hardware and software Strong computer and technical skills Strong technical writing skills Project management skills
Preferred:
Experience in semiconductor fabrication involving chemical/environmental treatment systems or similar facilities Experience with CAD software Understanding of electromagnetic interference and building vibration monitoring techniques Understanding of cleanroom particle control protocols, airborne and surface monitoring instrumentation and data reporting to support ISO 3 cleanroom classification
