Job Description

At Teledyne MEMS, we’re shaping the future of microelectromechanical systems that power everything from biomedical breakthroughs to space exploration and AI innovation. As part of Teledyne Technologies—a global leader in enabling technologies for industrial growth markets—we combine precision engineering with cutting-edge science to deliver solutions that matter. If you’re curious, adaptable, and ready to work on technology that impacts the world, this role is for you.

The Characterization Engineer supports MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) device development and manufacturing through comprehensive electrical, physical, and materials characterization. This role requires hands‑on operation of advanced metrology and inspection equipment, detailed analysis of semiconductor wafer‑level data, and collaboration with Process, R&D, and Product Engineering to optimize device performance, yield, and reliability.

What You will Do

Wafer-Level Metrology & Device Characterization

• Perform material, device, and process characterization using semiconductor metrology tools such as SEM, TEM, AFM, XRD, XRF, FTIR, EDX, Raman, profilometry, ellipsometry, spectrometry, and other microscopy techniques.

• Conduct electrical characterization of semiconductor/MEMS devices (e.g., IV/CV measurements, impedance, capacitance, leakage, breakdown voltage, resonance / frequency response for MEMS).

• Support inline metrology for process control (critical dimension measurements, overlay, film thickness, particle monitoring).

• Conduct failure analysis and root-cause investigations to support development and manufacturing teams.

Data Analysis & Reporting

• Analyze complex data sets using analytical tools and statistical software (JMP, Python) to identify trends, correlations, or anomalies.

• Prepare concise reports that interpret results clearly and propose corrective or optimization actions for clients and internal stakeholders.

• Support data-driven decision-making for product development and process optimization.

Process & Product Support

• Collaborate with Product Engineering to evaluate device response to process changes and support process integration.

• Partner with NPI (new product introduction) Engineering by defining characterization requirements and qualification tests.

• Support DOE planning, execution, and analysis during development and continuous improvement projects.

• Participate in root-cause investigations affecting yield, reliability, or device performance.

Tool Ownership

• Serve as tool owner for designated metrology or characterization equipment, ensuring uptime, calibration, and performance.

• Develop and optimize standard operating procedures, test methods, and tool calibration requirements

• Support evaluation and implementation of new metrology equipment.

• Uphold cleanroom best practices and comply with ISO, quality, and safety requirements.

What You Need

• 
  Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or a related field.

• Hands-on experience in a semiconductor or MEMS fabrication environment.

• Direct operation of semiconductor metrology/inspection systems.

• Experience in wafer‑level electrical characterization, device physics, and materials analysis.

• Familiarity with statistical analysis and data visualization tools (JMP, Python, Excel).

Preferred Skills

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills; detail-oriented.

• Ability to interpret experimental results, identify trends, and propose solutions.

• Excellent documentation and communication abilities.

• Familiarity with statistical methods, DOE, and quality principles.

• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and within cross-functional teams.

• Commitment to safety and quality

The role may require frequent travel within the city of Edmonton to utilize characterization equipment located off-site, such as the University of Alberta

campus
