| MSP’s Turbo-Vaporizers™ use a droplet vaporization, direct liquid injection technique. Our vaporizers use advanced technology in aerosol science and thermo-dynamics to create a more refined solution to vaporizing liquids. In thin film applications, our Turbo-Vaporizers’ stable and uniform vapor leads to a higher quality thin film and higher wafer yields with less down time. MSP’s Vaporizers provide faster response time, high precision flow control, are able to operate at high temperatures, and are built with a clog-resistant design. JOB SUMMARY: The Vapor Scientist will be responsible for design, development and technical support of Vaporizers. This person will play an influencing role in the evaluation and the commercialization of technology related to MSPs Vaporizer Products and emerging product spaces, and will serve as an advanced technical resource for engineers and technical staff. Among other skills, this person requires an Expert level of working knowledge of mathematical modeling tools, thermodynamics of single-phase flows and strong knowledge for complex mixed phase flows. Knowledge of material and chemical properties, and processes related to semiconductor manufacturing is a plus. Among other tasks, the Engineering Scientist will work with multi-disciplinary design teams to define technical requirements, determine feasibility, and lay out and maintain a technology roadmap for future products. This person may also provide consulting across the organization to address problems and recommend solutions. JOB RESPONSIBILITIES: - Evaluate existing methods and develop improved methods for liquid flow control and vaporization for Semiconductor or Industrial manufacturing.
