Sr. R&D Engineer

Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamond behind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably. We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.

We are looking for an ambitious and hands-on engineer to take responsibility for investigating unique manufacturing processes and technologies that will help us make our world-leading diamond production technology even better. You'll be an integral part of an experienced team of mechanical, electrical, and materials engineers, and will be encouraged to gain experience in a variety of techniques and areas. The position in our SSF facility will involve hands-on work with complex semiconductor-style plasma CVD manufacturing equipment as well as design, execution, and interpretation of experiments.

Responsibilities:

• Plan and set up experiments (gather, analyze, interpret, and synthesize experimental data, recommend a course of action).
• Operate plasma CVD manufacturing equipment (get trained on CVD reactor operation, develop process parameter experience).
• Improve prototype processes by applying creative problem-solving solving, guide process implementation into pilot production. (leverage statistical analysis and Business Intelligence reporting tools to provide data-driven feedback).
• Work across multidisciplinary teams to attack challenges ranging from demonstration of capability to production deployment.
  
  

Requirements:

• PhD or Bachelor's degree with 4+ years of relevant experience in Physics, Chem. Engineering, Material Science, or Engineering from a top university (comprehensive knowledge of crystal growth is strongly recommended).
• Attention to detail, self-starter, and ability to thrive in a cross-functional development team.
• Effective communicator: experience communicating data through text, graphics, and images to audiences of all experience levels.
• Experience in data collection and analysis/interpretation, as well as presentation of experimental findings (e.g. JMP, Tableau).
• Position requires a successful candidate to be on-site
