Specialized experience includes assisting in in development of semiconductor, MEMS and or low temperature sensors; experience with semiconductor and superconducting sensor process and fabrication techniques in a cleanroom environment; experience with low temperature superconducting detector devices including transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers and their methods of manufacture and experience with cryogenic testing, and micro-machining device metrology such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and profilometry. ORCompleted 1 full academic year of graduate study in an appropriate field. ORA combination of experience and graduate study in an appropriate field.Applicants may also qualify at the GS-7 level by meeting one of the Special Provisions:
a. Are in the upper third of their class, based on completed college work at the time of filing an application. b. Have an average of 2.90 or better on a 4.0 scale for either all completed college work at the time of hire offer or all college courses completed during the last 2 years of the undergraduate curriculum. c.
