Research Scientist

The research scientist will play an integral role in the organic growth strategy focused on the development of new materials for the organization. The primary responsibilities of this position include advancing the growth processes of novel single crystalline materials such as Ga2O3, ultimately contributing to new product sales. Additional responsibilities encompass identifying, testing, and managing raw material inventories for the research and development team; designing experiments and conducting growth trials for crystalline materials; modifying furnace designs to facilitate crystal growth and enhance performance; monitoring the performance characteristics of the produced crystals; and supporting the transition of research and development initiatives to the production team. The ideal candidate should possess knowledge of semiconducting materials and general crystallography, along with experience or familiarity with various high-temperature oxides such as sapphire and garnets, as well as several growth methods, including Czochralski, EFG, HEM, and Bridgman, among others.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in the development of Ga2O3 single crystal growth processes, including the planning and carrying out of growth trials, and reporting on overall developments.
• Provide support for characterization of Ga2O3 crystals, either those grown internally or sourced from external vendors or collaborators.  This includes characterization of material in house, and management of material sent for analysis externally.
• Assist in defect identification, analysis, material improvement and scale up of EFG grown oxides.
• Stay abreast of and provide information to others at Luxium Solutions on technical advances in the field of functional materials with a focus on materials for power electronics.
