Interface Fluidics is a rapidly growing company changing the way that reservoir technology is developed in the oil and gas industry. Our measurements are made using proprietary high-pressure/high-temperature microfluidic devices. We have a passion for collaboration and care deeply about building a team that will disrupt our industry.

The Chip Fabrication Coordinator is responsible for the chip quality control and day-to-day administration of the chip fabrication, inventory, order delivery processes, and external vendor communications. This role works closely with Microfabrication Technologists to coordinate fabrication facility activity and assists in chip fabrication as needed. This role is responsible for administration of accounts at multi-user cleanroom facilities and outsourced fabrication centers ensuring redundant backups of high-quality fabrication tools for the entire fabrication process. This role will conduct quality control testing on all chips that are fabricated including optical inspection and pressure testing. They will work closely with engineering staff to automate this process.
