Inseriert am: 16.02.2021

R&D Engineer MEMS


Your Profile



  • Successful university degree in a technical discipline (preferably microsystems engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science or similar).

  • Experience in characterization of electronic components or MEMS devices as well as appropriate software skills (e.g. Python)

  • Hands-on experience with MEMS or semiconductor processes

  • Interest in project management and organizing collaboration in interdisciplinary teams


Your Responsibilities

In our CMOSens technology we combine innovative ASIC, MEMS and packaging designs to unique sensor solutions.

Sensirion is a global player in the field of sensor technology. In interdisciplinary projects you will develop new sensor designs and associated production processes. In this way, you will help ensure that Sensirion continues to be a top provider of innovative sensor solutions.

Your future colleague, Sebastian (Senior R&D Engineer), will tell you about his daily work below.

What are the specific tasks?

At the beginning of a new sensor, I work out various concepts with colleagues from other development groups, which we then test as efficiently as possible with prototypes. This means a lot of design work, simulations, setting up measurement setups, characterizing the new sensors and evaluating new processes. Later in the project, the focus shifts to working with the process engineers and production to ultimately have the most favorable and stable processes possible.

What are the daily challenges?

It is often about finding the most efficient way to reach the goal. It is about making the right decisions without already understanding everything. Often things turn out differently than you think, be it new problems or requirements - that's what makes it exciting. The all-rounder function between project management and clean room work, as well as the cooperation with different teams and external partners is versatile and motivating.
