Job: Crystal Growth Engineer:

Jobing Description

Crystal Growth Engineer: An opportunity to develop materials for future lasers and semiconductor devices.

We are seeking a person with a materials science or chemical engineering background to perform experimental R&D on bulk and epitaxial crystal growth. Must be familiar with laboratory procedures, knowledgeable in chemical handling and hazmat protocols, and capable of operating high pressure equipment. Educational level of B.S. or M.S. is required. Prior experience in synthesis of inorganic compounds, semiconductors, or laser materials is desired. The duties will require daily preparation of charge materials, measuring weights of chemicals within an atmospherically controlled glove box, obtaining and recording data for each crystal growth experiment, setting up furnaces with thermocouples and insulation, and connecting furnaces to control systems. The work requires skill in using mechanical tools as well as calculating weights from simple mathematical formulas.

This position would be located at Hanscom AFB, Bedford Ma 01731.
