We are seeking a MEMS Design Engineer with strong expertise in the design, modeling, and characterization of MEMS actuators. The successful candidate will develop innovative micro-actuation solutions for our quantum computing platform, working across device design, simulation, fabrication, and experimental validation.
Responsibilities
Design MEMS actuators based on electrostatic, piezoelectric, thermal, or hybrid actuation mechanisms.
Develop analytical and finite-element models of electromechanical devices.
Optimize actuator performance.
Perform static, dynamic, modal, harmonic, and nonlinear simulations.
Evaluate stability margins, and mechanical robustness.
Collaborate with fabrication engineers to develop manufacturable MEMS designs.
Design experiments and characterize fabricated devices.
Analyze failure mechanisms and implement design improvements.
Support wafer-level packaging and assembly development.
Work closely with optics, electronics, systems, and packaging teams.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent discipline, preferably with a background in MEMS device design and electromechanical systems.
At least 5 years of hands-on experience in MEMS design, development, and product realization.
Proven expertise in MEMS actuator design, including electrostatic, piezoelectric, thermal, or hybrid actuation mechanisms.
Strong background in analytical modeling, finite-element simulation, and experimental validation of MEMS devices.
Demonstrated experience taking MEMS technologies from concept and prototyping through fabrication, characterization, and system integration.
Deep understanding of MEMS materials, fabrication processes, packaging, reliability, and failure mechanisms.
