About the Job:
nEye is seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Process to join our Engineering team. The successful candidate will contribute to the development, optimization, and troubleshooting of semiconductor/microfabrication processes in a cleanroom environment. This provides exposure to hands-on fabrication, process integration, and cross-functional collaboration, offering valuable experience for students pursuing advanced degrees in engineering.Key Responsibilities

• Support nEye process engineers in the development, optimization, and troubleshooting of fabrication processes.

• Operate fabrication tools such as lithography, PECVD, PVD, and etching systems under guidance.
• Assist with process flow design, validation, and documentation.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret process data to support yield improvement and root cause analysis.

• Work as part of a cross-functional team to support the development of the next OCS .
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives in efficiency, quality, and reliability.
• Maintain adherence to safety protocols and best practices in all engineering activities.

Minimum Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related discipline.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with demonstrated attention to detail.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment and manage tasks independently.

Skills

• Hands-on cleanroom experience (preferably UC Berkeley’s Marvell NanoLab or similar university/industry facility).

• Experience with semiconductor/microfabrication process flows.
• Practical knowledge of fabrication tools such as lithography, etching, PECVD, and PVD systems.
• Familiarity with process optimization techniques (e.g., Design of Experiments, Six Sigma).
• Knowledge of statistical analysis software (e.g., Minitab, JMP) and CAD tools is a plus.

Program Benefits

• Exposure to state-of-the-art semiconductor and nanofabrication processes.
• Opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers and researchers.
• Development of technical, analytical, and project management skills.
• Hands-on contribution to impactful process engineering projects, including OCS development.
• Mentorship and networking opportunities with professionals in the semiconductor and nanofabrication industry.

• Potential consideration for future full-time employment based on performance.
