Advanced Materials and Microsystems Group is a multidisciplinary group that works at the convergence of materials science and micro- and nanoscale engineering to develop microsystems with novel functionality. We develop materials, microfabrication processes, and multifunctional microsystems, with the aim to leverage properties at the small scale in everything we do. Our activities range from forming metamaterials and phase-change materials, to integrating optoelectronic devices in unusual form factors such as fibers and fabrics, to developing microfluidic devices based on electrowetting, to creating new materials and new processes for 3D printing. Our application space is equally broad: it encompasses low-cost picosatellites fabricated in a silicon foundry, advanced fibers that can sense and communicate and be woven into clothing, energy-efficient microhydraulic actuators for micro-robotics, optofluidics for enhanced eyewear, and energy storage and energy harvesting components. Our high-impact work is enabled by the Microelectronics Laboratory, the Defense Fabric Discovery Center, and other cleanroom facilities at the Laboratory.
Job Description
The group seeks a co-op to assist staff members in the Mechanical Engineering field of design, structural analysis, assembly, integration and testing. Design duties include using CAD software to make part models, generating drawings and ensuring proper fabrication of parts. Structural analysis duties could include: creating and running finite element models, analyzing model results and structural or thermal testing.
The successful candidate will work as part of a multidisciplinary team and assist staff members in the fields of electrical design and textile engineering. Mechanical design tasks may include computer aided design and finite element modeling. Testing duties could include preparing for and supporting component and/or system level testing.
Recuirements
- Currently enrolled in a formal coop program of study in engineering or physics (Mechanical Engineering preferred)
- Completed Mechanical Design, Mechanics of Materials or equivalent classes
- GPA 3.5/4.0 or higher
- Mechanical CAD experience preferred, but not required
