Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Experts (Train AI Models Part Time!)

About the role

This is a hands-on role that blends deep domain knowledge in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and thin-film deposition with cutting-edge AI research. Your expertise will directly shape how advanced models reason about materials and processes.

Responsibilities

• Apply your ALD and thin-film expertise to design, review, and evaluate challenging scientific problems
• Assess and improve AI-generated reasoning across ALD process development, precursor chemistry, and characterization
• Help define and structure high-quality domain data that downstream models learn from
• Collaborate with the research team to raise the scientific rigor of the models

Requirements

• Hands-on experience developing, optimizing, or troubleshooting ALD processes — Must Have
• Deep knowledge of thin-film deposition for semiconductor or materials applications — Must Have
• Understanding of precursor chemistry and surface reaction mechanisms
• Experience with materials characterization (XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, ellipsometry, etc.)
• Advanced degree (PhD/MS) or equivalent hands-on experience in materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, or physics
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and precisely

Schedule

Up to 40 hours/week (minimum 10)
