MEMS/Microfluidics Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Take end-to-end ownership of design, from initial ideation and modeling to design for manufacturability and performance validation.
• Model performance characteristics of drop ejection designs, including thermal, electrical, fluidic, and mechanical parameters.
• Design new microfluidic MEMS drop ejection devices and conduct experiments using Design of Experiments (DOE) and statistical analysis.
• Test and characterize ink/design interactions, focusing on drop weight, printhead energy, ejection reliability, and printhead life.
• Advance and integrate material science innovations to improve drop performance and printhead reliability.
• Develop and advance test solutions to measure and monitor the performance of drops and printheads.
• Develop microfluidic technology for applications in life sciences, micro-biomedical science, and advanced micro-sensing markets.
• Partner with multidisciplinary teams, including wafer fabrication, ink chemists, firmware, and electrical circuit designers, to validate new solutions.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in an engineering discipline (Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering).
• Demonstrated working knowledge of engineering fundamentals.
• Proficiency in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, basic chemistry, and basic circuits.
• Programming proficiency in at least one language and experience with modeling software.
• Strong skills in analytical decision-making, troubleshooting, and problem-solving.
• Proficiency in practical experiment design and applied statistics.
• Excellent planning, organizational, and documentation skills.
• Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary, global, and multicultural teams.
