Your Future Responsibilities

  • Development of metallic thin films and multilayers by magnetron sputtering
  • Investigation of process-structure-property relationships of metallic thin films
  • Tuning process parameters to achieve targeted properties of metallic thin films (e.g., electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity) under application-relevant conditions
  • Working in an advanced ISO5 cleanroom facility, collaborating with process engineers and external suppliers to define requirements, conditions, and parameters related to magnetron sputtering equipment
  • Performing data analysis and interpretation using analytical calculations, modeling, and standard statistical methods
  • Defining Standard Operating Procedures, documenting Best Known Methods, and preparing IP disclosure reports related to metallic thin film deposition
  • Tracking project progress, including reports, deliverables, and milestones
  • Contributing to project management and reporting, with regular updates to supervisors and the Research Unit head
  • Disseminating project results through publications and conferences
  • Collaborating within the Microsystems division on projects involving materials and thin-film technology for applications like MEMS, ion traps, and superconductors
  • Generating innovative ideas to enhance device performance
  • Contributing constructively to team efforts and maintaining a positive team environment

Your Profile

  • PhD in Materials Science, Condensed-matter Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields
  • Strong background in electronic transport properties, low-temperature physics, and metallic thin film physics
  • Hands-on experience with metallic thin film fabrication techniques, especially sputtering, and characterization methods (XRD, AFM, SKPM, TLM, 4-PP, Hall effect measurement, etc.)
  • Experience in process optimization, statistical analysis, and modeling
  • Practical experience with metal sputtering equipment
  • Understanding of structure-property relationships in metallic thin films
  • Proficiency in English communication; German is a plus
  • Experience in optimizing metallic thin films for electronics, photonics, MEMS, and quantum applications; cleanroom experience is advantageous
  • Creative, application-oriented, and problem-solving mindset
  • Open-mindedness, inclusiveness, and team player qualities
  • Willingness to relocate to Villach, Austria
