Job Description:

The Cavendish Laboratory's Nanofabrication Facility is moving to a new state-of-the-art cleanroom complex within the Ray Dolby Centre, the Department of Physics' flagship building on the University of Cambridge's West Cambridge Site.

The Nanofabrication Facility includes 1500m² of clean labs ranging from ISO 3 to ISO 7, supporting research and development across a range of materials systems and technologies including both organic and inorganic semiconductor materials.

Applications are invited for a technical Operational Lead, primarily responsible for the ISO 5 - ISO 7 Inorganic Cleanroom areas.

The successful candidate will deliver operational leadership for the inorganic Cleanrooms, providing support, training, and guidance for users, and leading the facility's technical teams in the operation and maintenance of fabrication tools and infrastructure. While primarily focused on inorganic cleanrooms, the role also involves supporting the organic device fabrication cleanrooms.

Requirements include proven experience in managing a multi-user cleanroom environment for inorganic semiconductor device fabrication, knowledge of tools, process steps, safety considerations, and materials such as silicon, GaAs, GaN, InP, diamond, glass, and 2D materials like graphene.

The role involves health and safety management, user training, equipment repair and maintenance, fault diagnosis, and refurbishment. The candidate should have practical repair experience and ability to work with a technical team to ensure operational readiness.

Excellent communication and organizational skills are essential, as the role includes acting as the primary contact for users and responding promptly to queries.

The candidate must undergo security and occupational health checks. Informal inquiries can be directed to Dr. Dave Ellis.

The university promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion and encourages applications from all societal sections. All employees must be eligible to work in the UK.
