About the job:
To be a highly productive, ambitious and collaborative member of the EPSRC project Deterministic Recording via All-Optical Magnetic Switching (DREAMS) spanning Queen’s University Belfast (materials synthesis & device test), University of Exeter (ultrafast optical characterisation), University of York (theory & simulation) and Seagate Technology (device fabrication & test). Based at Seagate Technology (Springtown), you will lead microfabrication and metrology to realise device structures from pre-deposited magnetic wafers, including design and patterning of pillars and Hall bars, process integration, and electrical/optical metrology to evaluate stacks for all-optical magnetic switching (AOS).
You will plan and run cleanroom process flows end-to-end—from mask design and lithography, through etch, metallisation, passivation, and wafer-level test—working closely with DREAMS partners to align device architectures with project work-packages. This post requires executing independent research in device fabrication and metrology, operating within a complex team, and delivering high-quality, timely results to accelerate discovery and device translation.
