AttoTude is seeking a hands-on Fabrication Technician to support the development and execution of micro- and nanofabrication processes for our core technology. This role is based in the Berkeley Nanolab and works closely with AttoTude engineers and researchers to fabricate, iterate, and characterize devices in a fast-moving R&D environment.

This position is well-suited for either:

• An experienced fabrication technician who enjoys executing and improving process flows
• The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and excited to work on cutting-edge fabrication challenges in a shared-user cleanroom.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute micro- and nanofabrication process flows in the Berkeley Nanolab cleanroom
• Operate fabrication equipment including: Photolithography tools (spin coaters, mask aligners, developers)
• Dry and wet etching tools (RIE, DRIE, wet etch)
• Thin film deposition systems (evaporation, sputtering, PECVD)
• Metrology and inspection tools (optical microscopy, profilometry, ellipsometry, SEM)
• Support process development, optimization, and repeatability for AttoTude devices
• Maintain detailed fabrication logs, travelers, and process documentation
• Follow all Berkeley Nanolab safety, chemical handling, and cleanroom protocols
• Contribute to continuous improvement of AttoTude fabrication workflows

Required Qualifications

• Prior experience working in a micro- or nanofabrication cleanroom (academic, industrial, or internship experience acceptable)
• Familiarity with semiconductor, MEMS, or nanofabrication processes
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow and refine complex process flows
• Excellent organizational and documentation skills
• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with a small technical team

Preferred Qualifications

• 2–10+ years of hands-on cleanroom fabrication experience
• Experience in a shared-user academic or national lab facility
• Interest in growing into a process or device engineering role
• Comfortable working in a startup or fast-paced R&D environment
