Process Engineer – Microfabrication

About the Position

Process Engineer – Microfabrication

We are seeking a dedicated Process Engineer for our microfabrication team based in San Martino di Lupari (PD), Italy. This role is integral to our team, ensuring that the microfabrication group has hands at the bench every day, making parts, running experiments, and bringing back data. This is not a leadership role but a hands-on position that works closely with the Senior Microfabrication Engineer.

Responsibilities

• Make the parts. Engage in laser writing, scribing, ablation, wet and chemical etching, additive manufacturing, and precision machining. Create micro-scale parts, fixtures, jigs, and test vehicles as needed.
• Run the experiments and bring back the data. Prepare samples, execute the designed matrix, record everything, and report results with precise numbers.
• Own process steps, one at a time. Manage parameters, process windows, and repeatability. Expand ownership as you demonstrate stability without supervision.
• Close the loop with metrology. Use optical microscopy, profilometry, and dimensional inspection to ensure the tool settings match the part outcomes.
• Keep the tools running. Perform routine qualification, cleaning, consumables management, and maintenance on lasers, wet benches, printers, and machines.
• Document your work. Create parameter sheets, run records, and procedures that others can follow to reproduce your results.
• Collaborate with the team. Work with the Senior Microfabrication Engineer, electrochemistry group, mechanical design, and the Technical Office.

Requirements

• Education: BSc or MSc in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Materials Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry, or a technical diploma with relevant workshop and laboratory experience.
• Experience: 2 to 5 years of hands-on experience in a laboratory, cleanroom, pilot line, or precision-manufacturing workshop.
• Skills: Real experience with at least one of the following: laser micromachining, wet or chemical etching, precision machining and CNC, additive manufacturing.
• Technical Proficiency: Comfortable with micro-scale tolerances, surface and edge quality, and the measurement that verifies them. Basic CAD skills (SolidWorks or equivalent) are required. CAM and G-code can be learned here.
• Data Literacy: Sufficient statistics knowledge to interpret your results honestly. Familiarity with Python, JMP, or Minitab is a plus.
• Safety Judgment: Adherence to safety protocols for chemicals, lasers, machines, and cleanroom discipline is non-negotiable.
• Language: Fluent English, written and spoken. Italian is a plus.

We Offer

• Growth: Dedicated Learning & Development budget.
• Financials: Relocation package, performance-based bonus (MBO), and meal vouchers.
• Well-being: Health insurance plan and supplemental pension fund.
