Industrial Fellowship
Cambridge CMOS Sensors (CCS) Ltd is a leading supplier of CMOS MEMS microhotplates and infrared sources, designed specifically for high performance, high
stability gas and materials sensing. The company’s micro-hotplates provide the key
technology platform for a new generation of ultra-low power, miniature chemical
resistive gas sensors.
CCS maintains close affiliations and collaboration opportunities with Cambridge
University as well as other groups and universities within the UK and mainland
Europe that have interests and capabilities in gas sensor technology.
CCS is pleased to announce an exciting career opportunity for a talented post doc
gain valuable industrial experience in a dynamic and stimulating environment whilst
making significant technology contributions to the business by creation of leading
edge intellectual property (IP). IP protection is paramount to the success of any
company but especially a company at the forefront of technology, such as CCS, so
innovations will likely result in the filing of patent applications or the publication of
results.
The successful applicant will be responsible for developing the next generation gas
sensor products in support of the CCS product roadmap. This will entail identification
of suitable sensing materials and the deposition of candidate materials onto the
company’s micro hotplates. The resulting sensors will be characterised in the CCS
state of the art gas characterisation lab followed by appropriate analysis and
interpretation to drive the development of robust signal conditioning software
algorithms.
This product development process will be fully supported by the CCS experts and will
utilise the facilities available on site at the CCS Headquarters in Cambridge as well
as those available at European collaborative partner universities and production
supply chain partners.
The applicant must :
Be qualified to PhD level in Chemistry, Materials Science or similar discipline.

Possess a good understanding of surface and material characterisation
techniques such as XRD, XPS etc.

Have in-depth knowledge and experience in metal oxide resistive gas sensor
material development and characterisation techniques.

Be knowledgeable in material deposition techniques including screen printing,
ink jet deposition and drop coating.
The fellowship will start by 30 April 2015 and will last up to 12 months. It is based in
Cambridge, UK and the successful applicant will be paid an annual salary of up to
£33k, depending on experience.
Applicants should send their CV and covering letter to careers@ccmoss.com with
“Industrial Fellowship” in the email subject field.
