Process Technician - Competition #08-001

Learn about one of the coolest technologies today - Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS)! One size bigger than nanotechnology, MEMS are a forerunner to nano-based products. Nano-based components are so small they need a “carrier” or a bridge between the tiny nano-world and the “real” world we live in—a role that MEMS can play with your help!

Become a process technician and with hands-on work, learn how to create these mechanical devices on a micron scale (1000 microns per millimeter). Working in a Class 10 or Class 1000 clean room, you will be using sophisticated machines, equipment and techniques to manufacture, assemble and inspect these delicate microelectronic devices. Become part of an exciting team and interact with co-workers from around the world in a great working environment.

Micralyne offers: competitive salary, fully paid training, skill development, full time permanent shifts (days, evenings, weekends or nights), comprehensive employee benefits, quarterly profit sharing, and educational advancement.

As a candidate, you must possess a high school diploma, and be a non-smoker. An interest in science and technology or experience in electronic assembly or machine operations is considered an asset.
