microelectronics materials engineer
Microelectronics materials engineers design, develop and supervise the production of materials that are required for microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and are able to apply them in these devices, appliances, products. They aid the design of microelectronics with physical and chemical knowledge about metals, semiconductors, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials. They conduct research on material structures, perform analysis, investigate failure mechanisms, and supervise research works.

Zone 4: Considerable Preparation Needed
Considerable preparation. Usually a bachelor's degree plus several years of work-related experience, knowledge, or training.
Job Zone is O*NET's rating of how much education, experience and training an occupation typically needs — a property of the work, not of anyone doing it.
