Research Scientist - Semiconductor Process Chemistry - Co-op Student Fall 2026 (Ottawa)

Opportunity

This co‑op role is an opportunity to contribute to hands‑on research and development at the intersection of chemistry and materials science. You will join our R&D team working on chemical and plasma etching of advanced semiconductor materials, taking on real experimental work from design through execution. You will investigate open‑ended technical challenges, develop and refine laboratory workflows, and contribute directly to research that informs how next‑generation materials are processed and understood.

What You’ll Do

• Research, design, and execute experiments on chemical (wet) and plasma (dry) etching of modern semiconductor materials
• Investigate open‑ended technical challenges involving chemical interactions, process development, and materials compatibility
• Translate experimental process concepts into reliable and repeatable laboratory workflows
• Document experimental methods, results, and technical insights ...
