Job Description

Research Scientist III

We seek a scientist or engineer

• to conduct a research program dedicated to the modelling of the phenomena occurring when energetic clusters of atoms and molecules impinge on surfaces pertinent to semiconductor device fabrication.
• The clusters may be transported in high vacuum or a reactive gas environment that abuts the surface
• The successful candidate would comprehend cluster generation and the underlying ablative, thermal and reactive ion etching-like and associated sputtering processes involved with cluster-surface interactions.
• In addition, the successful candidate would be capable of exploring cluster, cluster-cluster, and cluster-surface interactions (transport and chemistry) by-products with an ambient of inert or reactive gases.
• It is envisioned that clarifying chemical interactions would require first principal approaches.
• A working knowledge of any commercial or open source DFT and classical molecular dynamics (MD) codes is valuable.
• A general understanding of how one would approach the modeling and simulation of the transport of clusters in different ambient environments is also valuable.
• The program supports a companion experimental program; therefore, the ability to communicate effectively with experimentalists is vitally important.
• The successful candidate would be part of larger development team and report to senior level development managers / technologists.
