Research Scientist - Semiconductor Process Chemistry - Co-op Student Fall 2026

Overview

This co‑op role is an opportunity to contribute to hands‑on research and development at the intersection of chemistry and materials science. You’ll join our R&D team working on chemical and plasma etching of advanced semiconductor materials, taking on real experimental work from design through execution. This is a chemistry‑forward position where you’ll investigate open‑ended technical challenges, develop and refine laboratory workflows, and contribute directly to research that informs how next‑generation materials are processed and understood.

What You’ll Do

• Research, design, and execute experiments on chemical (wet) and plasma (dry) etching of modern semiconductor materials
• Investigate open‑ended technical challenges involving chemical interactions, process development, and materials compatibility
• Translate experimental process concepts into reliable and repeatable laboratory workflows
• Document experimenta...
