Job Description Miraex is looking for an intern in nanofabrication to join our team and help us in the
development of the process for new integrated photonic devices. Your duties will include the
development of new process steps prior to integrating this new technology block into our
current process flow. In that aim, you will work on process blocks such as dry etching,
photolithography and thin film deposition (metal and dielectric). You will also participate in
developing the metrology adapted to characterise the process results.
This internship will give you experience in a small and horizontal R&D team, where every
voice is heard and each new challenge is an opportunity to learn something new. You will be

our team with a long development experience.
Duration: 6 to 12 months
Activity rate: 80–100%
Place of work: on-site (Ecublens, VD)
Mandatory skills Interest in micro- and nanofabrication activities in a cleanroom (Center of
MicroNanotechnology at EPFL - Lausanne) and willing to learn more.
Micro- and nanofabrication general knowledge
Rigour in documenting and reporting.
Communication skills (written/oral) in English (French is a plus).
Skills that will make the difference
Experience in micro- and nanofabrication process development.
Knowledge in integrated photonics.
Knowledge of metrology solutions for micro- and nanostructures.
Experience with data analysis.
Our offer Being part of a fast growing investor-backed company active in the fields of Quantum
Computing, Sensing, and Networking.
Internship stipend related to level of study/work experience.
A team that has a strong footprint in two worlds: advanced research projects as well
as hands-on development of applied products, where you have exciting possibilities
to put your knowledge into practice.
