Wire bonding technician Job in , , Switzerland

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter, the fundamental particles. The particles are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives the physicists clues about how the particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.

Wire bonding technician Job Description

Introduction:
Wire Bonding Technician in the Experimental Physics Department (EP), ALICE Detector and Systems Group (AID), Detector Technology Section (DT)

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), one of the four large experiments of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, is a general-purpose heavy-ion detector designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter using nucleus-nucleus, proton-nucleus and proton-proton collisions.

Functions:
As a Wire Bonding Technician in the EP-AID-DT Section, you will be in charge of the wire-bonding of a large number of ITS detector modules. This will include programming, set-up, operation and fine-tuning of wire bonding equipment.

You will:

• Prepare components to be used in the assembly of hybrid microcircuits and sub-assemblies, including cleaning with ultrasonic baths and similar methods, and visual inspection.
• Assemble or modify tasks on hybrid microcircuits and sub-assemblies, including wire bonding under conditions such as small pad sizes, ultrathin silicon dies, unusual substrate configurations that require special setup and bonding techniques.
• Screen hybrids microcircuits by visual inspection, wire bond pull tests, or other Quality Assurance methods.
• Interact with physicists, engineers and other technicians on matters related to design specifications, finished product technical performance and documentation.
• Operate equipment and instrumentation related to wire bonding assembly and quality assurance such as climatic chambers, vibration test systems, infrared cameras, high-field electromagnets, microscopes.

Wire bonding technician Job Requirements

Qualification required
Technical certificate or general secondary education in the field of electronics, or equivalent.

The experience required for this post is:

• Proven work experience with aluminium wedge wire bonding, using automatic (programmable) bonding machines, wire bonding techniques, procedures, testing and quality standards.
