NanoLab Machine Shop: Development Technician 4
Job ID 7171C
The Marvell Nanofabrication Laboratory (NanoLab) and the NanoLab Machine Shop are independently managed recharge operations that exist within the UCB College of Engineering. The Machine Shop’s primary objective is to support NanoLab mechanical and facilities requirements. The NanoLab is a 15,000 sq. ft. ultra-clean, particle free facility that houses over 150 pieces of semiconductor equipment, which serves the research needs of over 500 researchers yearly. The Machine Shop is equipped with band saws, drill press, table saw, sheet metal tooling, MIG/TIG welding, 3D printer, manual & CNC mills and lathes including a 5-axis HAAS VF2. The shop can produce precision machine work with tolerances to .001” for all types of metals, composites, plastics and woods. The shop has the capability to weld both ferrous and non-ferrous metals ranging from .020” thin stainless steel to 1" thick aluminum. The shop specializes in ultra-high vacuum system fabrication and orbital welding. The Machine Shop supports research and education facilities and equipment in the areas of integrated circuits and systems; micro/nanofabrication technologies for integrated microelectronics, optics and MEMS; and advanced materials design and development for a wide range of interdisciplinary applications. The Machine Shop provides rigging, installation, design, fabrication, modification and repair of specialized precision instruments and specialized support systems to all College of Engineering departments and other UCB departments or campuses.
Under the supervision of the Machine Shop Engineering Technical Supervisor, the Development Technician is responsible for siting, facilitating, developing, supporting, repairing, and modifying semiconductor processing and nanotechnology equipment for the Nanofabrication Laboratory and for faculty research laboratories and support spaces throughout the College of Engineering. In addition, the Development Technician monitors and evaluates operation of various specialized laboratory utilities, such as air, compressed gases, nitrogen, oxygen, heating ventilating and air conditioning, cooling water and process waste streams. Semiconductor research facilities are among the most complex, costly, and technically demanding research facilities. Included in the mission of the NanoLab Machine Shop in Cory Hall is supporting such an operation.
