Internship, Droplet Generation Research

What you'll do

• Identify key scientific learning objectives and design experiments to advance EUV generation processes.
• Demonstrate system-wide performance targets to meet the future technology roadmap.
• Develop and execute performance tests for systems and subsystems to extract actionable knowledge.
• Troubleshoot issues with tin delivery subsystems, ultra-high vacuum systems, and optical modules.
• Document research findings and communicate technical knowledge to engineering and product development teams.
• Characterize existing performance and demonstrate new capabilities to achieve stated research objectives.
• Analyze experimental data to decipher physics and predictably control tin droplet behavior.

What we're looking for

• PhD or MS degree in Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or an equivalent field.
• Deep understanding of scientific methods to design and execute research experiments with limited oversight (preferred).
• Experience designing DOEs and building experimental test setups, including layout, prototyping, and metrology (preferred).
• Experience with microfluidics, liquid jet breakup, droplet coalescence, piezoelectricity, and/or acoustics (preferred).
• Experience with high pressure applications such as water jet cutting, jet breakup, and nozzle design (preferred).
• Experience in ceramics, including the design and fabrication of ceramic components (preferred).
• Experience with droplet formation, sprays, common-rail diesel, and/or injectors (preferred).
• Experience with ultrasonic cleaning, chemical cleaning, etching, and data analysis tools like MATLAB, Python, or NI LabVIEW (preferred).
