MEMS Product Design Expert

What you will do

Within imec’s Sensor and Actuator Technology department, our team’s research activities focus on the development of novel applications using transducers, sensors and actuators. As a senior designer expert, you will collaborate closely with the system, process technology, and ASIC teams to develop new devices until their productization. This interaction will enable the natural, but challenging, evolution of the currently developed MEMS technologies and devices towards their application. Materials selection, technology parameter definition, modeling of novel physical phenomena as well as technological variability will be key for this successful transition.

In this job, your main activities will be:

• You will design novel MEMS system in existing technologies and technologies under development. More specifically, the team is working on new MEMS system composed of actuators and sensors which needs to reach extremely challenging accuracy in extreme environment. Your job will be to take part of these activities and drive the design to propose a product in several years.
• You will participate to the characterization of the designed devices.
• You will participate and drive the productization phase (test/reliability) of the designed devices
• You will maintain a high standard of literature knowledge to support the design activities.
• You will collaborate with specialists from our cross-disciplinary design and technology teams
