R&D engineer nanoimprint lithography

What you will do

Your responsibilities will include:

• Independent definition and start-up of processing experiments under the supervision of the responsible project leader or researcher. 
• Deposition of thin films from solution and vacuum, using in particular tools like spin-coating, chemical vapor deposition and atomic-layer deposition. 
• NIL patterning of the deposited layers.
• Characterization of new resist and substrates for NIL  
• Autonomous characterization: Electrical and optical characterization of materials and device performance; Physical characterization of the deposited layers
• Regular reporting in a consistent and rigorous way.
