Microsystems Engineers

A typical week, in the words of people in the job

1. 01Investigate characteristics such as cost, performance, or process capability of potential microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device designs, using simulation or modeling software.
2. 02Create schematics and physical layouts of integrated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) components or packaged assemblies consistent with process, functional, or package constraints.
3. 03Conduct analyses addressing issues such as failure, reliability, or yield improvement.
4. 04Plan or schedule engineering research or development projects involving microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology.
5. 05Propose product designs involving microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, considering market data or customer requirements.
6. 06Create or maintain formal engineering documents, such as schematics, bills of materials, components or materials specifications, or packaging requirements.
7. 07Communicate operating characteristics or performance experience to other engineers or designers for training or new product development purposes.
8. 08Evaluate materials, fabrication methods, joining methods, surface treatments, or packaging to ensure acceptable processing, performance, cost, sustainability, or availability.
9. 09Refine final microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) design to optimize design for target dimensions, physical tolerances, or processing constraints.
10. 10Conduct harsh environmental testing, accelerated aging, device characterization, or field trials to validate devices, using inspection tools, testing protocols, peripheral instrumentation, or modeling and simulation software.
11. 11Develop or file intellectual property and patent disclosure or application documents related to microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices, products, or systems.
12. 12Conduct or oversee the conduct of prototype development or microfabrication activities to ensure compliance to specifications and promote effective production processes.
