Technicians/Service Engineers at DTU Nanolab

We are looking for several technicians/service engineers

Do you want to join a workplace where we shape and develop the technical solutions of tomorrow? We are working with a broad range of technologies with applications within health, IT and communication, energy, sensors and intelligent green solutions. We help create future technologies in an international environment with dedicated students, engineers and researchers from all over the world.

DTU Nanolab is one of the world leading centers within nano-fabrication and characterization located at the Technical University of Denmark in Kgs. Lyngby. We encourage you to visit www.nanolab.dtu.dk to get a clearer picture of the facility.

We are seeking curious and dedicated candidates to join our technical support teams. We are a multi-gender workplace and strongly encourage candidates of all genders to apply. We also encourage both experienced technicians as well as newly educated candidates with a background from “IT and electronics” or “Mechanics/Machines/Mechatronics” to apply.

You should have a desire to learn and try new things. You will be working in a team where we strive for a high degree of job satisfaction and self-management. Our tools typically involves vacuum, electronics, pneumatics, as well as gas and control systems. We do not expect anyone to start out as expert in all these areas. Thus the ideal candidate is able to work independently, be conscious of own limitations, be willing to ask others for help when needed and able to communicate both verbally and written in English.

Job description

We have two open positions. For both positions, you should:

•      Project work such as machine upgrades or new installation
•      Communicate clearly to your colleagues and document work status

Position 1: Technician / service engineer for plasma etching
Your main working area will be equipment used for etching with plasmas. Plasma etching offers many possibilities for nanofabrication. Most of the tools are located inside our 1400m2 cleanroom facility, where the major part of your working day will take place.

Position 2: Technician / service engineer for microscopy
Your main working area will be microscopy equipment used for characterization on the smallest scales. We primarily have scanning electron microscopes and transmission electron microscopes, located in a specially constructed building. For this position, you can expect a bit of travel (10-15 days/year) in the first couple of years since some of the tool training will take place at the manufacturers’ sites.

We offer

We offer you an interesting and challenging job in an international atmosphere with other professionals who strive to do their very best. We have an informal and welcoming work atmosphere where commitment is essential and a good sense of humor preferable. We offer great flexibility in the position and expect similar flexibility from you.
