About the company

Cahira Technologies Inc is an MIT spinoff company (https://www.linkedin.com/company/cahiratech/). We are building novel sub-cellular sized wireless electronic devices that seamlessly integrate with the brain, enabling brain-computer symbiosis beyond conventional brain-computer interfaces. Join us in our exciting journey!

About the role

We're hiring a micro/nano-electronic device engineer with strong background in electronic device physics and expertise in micro-nano fabrication skills. You will be involved in developing electronic devices for wireless brain stimulation. You should have an interest in biomedical implants, though no prior experience is needed in biotech. Strong grasp in electronic devices (diode, transistors, MEMS, band diagrams etc), semiconductor engineering and CMOS technology is a MUST. Experience in micro/nano-fabrication is a MUST.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities (Essential Functions**):

  • Design and develop new nanoelectronic devices for biomedical applications

  • Perform simulations to optimize the device

  • Perform micro- and nano- fabrication to make electronic devices using cleanroom facilities and perform device characterization

  • Explore applications of these devices for biomedical implants with collaborators

Qualifications and Skills:

MINIMUM REQUIRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

  • 3+ years experience in micro-nano fabrication techniques in cleanroom

  • 3+ years experience in Photolithography, Liftoff and Spin Coating

  • 3+ years experience in thin film deposition techniques such as Sputtering, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) etc

  • 3+ years experience in dry etching techniques such as Reactive Ion Etching (RIE), Ion Beam Etching (IBE), Plasma Etching as well as wet etching techniques.

  • 3+ years experience in characterization techniques such as IV-Curve Measurement, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and other electrical and material characterizations

  • Strong background in solid state physics, device physics, electronic devices (diodes/transistors/band diagrams) and bandgap engineering

  • Bachelors or M.S or PhD in electrical/electronic engineering, physics, materials science, bio/mechanical/chemical engineering or relevant field

PREFERRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Experience with Glovebox

  • Experience in electronic device simulations (TCAD; COMSOL Multiphysics; Device Modelling)
