How do they match: Nanosystems Engineers

  • Design, develop, or supervise the production of materials, devices, or systems of unique molecular or macromolecular composition, applying principles of nanoscale physics and electrical, chemical, or biological engineering.

  • Design nano-based manufacturing processes to minimize water, chemical, or energy use, as well as to reduce waste production.
  • Design nanoparticle catalysts to detect or remove chemical or other pollutants from water, soil, or air.
  • Develop catalysis or other green chemistry methods to synthesize nanomaterials, such as nanotubes, nanocrystals, nanorods, or nanowires.
  • Generate high-resolution images or measure force-distance curves, using techniques such as atomic force microscopy.
  • Provide technical guidance or support to customers on topics such as nanosystem start-up, maintenance, or use.
  • Provide scientific or technical guidance or expertise to scientists, engineers, technologists, technicians, or others, using knowledge of chemical, analytical, or biological processes as applied to micro and nanoscale systems.
  • Supervise technologists or technicians engaged in nanotechnology research or production.
  • Synthesize, process, or characterize nanomaterials, using advanced tools or techniques.

  • Develop technical methods or processes.
  • Explain engineering drawings, specifications, or other technical information.
  • Measure physical or chemical properties of materials or objects.
  • Provide technical guidance to other personnel.
  • Research engineering aspects of biological or chemical processes.
  • Supervise engineering or other technical personnel.
