PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This position will work with our engineering team to design and build leading cryogenic instruments used to test quantum devices. Using a knowledge gained in the classroom and on the job, this position will design parts and assemblies with an eye towards easy manufacturing, good thermal behavior, vacuum compatibility, and ease of assembly.
APPLICATIONS AND EQUIPMENT:
Computer work with SolidWorks for CAD, and one of many options for data analysis: Matlab, Python, Origin and/or Excel. The laboratory work will involve a combination of 4 Kelvin (and below!) cryostats and cryogenic probe stations.
WORK ENVIRONMENT:
Office and light-industrial laboratory space. The work will be predominately standard office work with some manual assembly time in a laboratory. This will involve lifting up to 30 lbs. and using hand tools near delicate instruments.
EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS:
Preferred major(s): Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or related disciplines.
Preferred level of education: 3 years of undergraduate education completed.
Preferred coursework completed or skills already possessed: Some familiarity with CAD is strongly preferred--ideally SolidWorks. Coursework in mechanical design, heat transfer, and thermodynamics would greatly help a candidate fulfill this role. Some basic programing and data analysis experience is also preferred.
The pay range for this role in Boulder, CO is between $26.00 and $32.00 per hour. FormFactor maintains broad salary ranges for its roles in order to account for variations in education, training, skills, relevant work experience, business needs and market demands. Candidates are typically placed into the range based on the preceding factors as well as internal peer equity. Benefits offered for this role include medical, dental, vision, EAP, short-term and long-term disability, life insurance, flexible spending and savings accounts, 401(k), ESPP and paid time off. The estimated application close date is on or around May 15th, 2024.
