**Department Summary**
eCornell delivers expertly crafted online certificate programs designed by Cornell University faculty. Our facilitators play a central role in creating dynamic, engaging, and highly interactive learning experiences. We are committed to providing an exceptional student experience through live interactions, meaningful feedback, and authentic engagement.
**The Opportunity**
We are seeking experienced professionals to join our team as **Course Facilitators in ourSpace Technology** portfolio. Facilitators are not course authors or adjunct faculty but are vital to ensuring the effective delivery of content created by Cornell faculty. To be considered for this position, please include a cover letter with your application materials.
In this role, you will complement our asynchronous course content by:
- Leading engaging live sessions that engage students in discussion of semiconductor manufacturing-related topics.
- Providing personalized and constructive feedback (written and recorded video) on discussion boards, assignments, solution designs, and applied projects.
- Coaching learners to connect semiconductor manufacturing topics to real-world business and technical settings.
- Fostering meaningful connections with students in a highly interactive online environment.
**Cover letter instructions [IMPORTANT]**
As part of the Course Facilitator position at eCornell, video interaction with students is a key component of the role. Facilitators are expected to engage with students through live video sessions and in response to project submissions. Video interactions allow facilitators to better engage with students, provide real-time feedback, and create an inclusive and personable learning experience.
As such, we encourage applicants to submit a video response to the question below using Loom. While submitting the video is optional, it is highly encouraged.
- Answer the following question in a short video (3 minutes max):
_What excites you most about facilitating at eCornell, and how would you bring that enthusiasm into your interactions with students?_
- Record your response using [Loom](https://www.loom.com/) (free service).
- Copy and paste the video link into your cover letter.
**Program-Specific Focus**
We are currently seeking facilitators to support Space Technology certificate programs.
The ideal candidate has 8+ years of professional experience in the following areas, with the ability to explain the following concepts to working professionals:
Apply core photolithography and etching concepts within modern semiconductor and nanofabrication environments. Examine the evolution of lithography, photoresist processing, projection systems, process simulation, wet and dry etching, plasma etching, and advanced methods such as ICP, DRIE, ALE, and in-situ metrology. Evaluate process trade-offs involving resolution, alignment, selectivity, directionality, yield, throughput, and cost. Emphasize practical process-selection and troubleshooting skills applicable to communicating, planning, or supporting fabrication work in cleanroom and manufacturing settings.
**Key Responsibilities:**
- Engage Students: Lead dynamic live discussions that foster interaction and deepen understanding.
- Provide Feedback: Deliver clear, constructive, and authentic feedback on student submissions, including recorded video responses.
- Facilitate Effectively: Manage online discussions, respond promptly to student inquiries, and track student progress.

- Onboarding and Training: Complete an in-depth onboarding program, including shadowing live courses, participating in debrief sessions, and mastering the assigned certificate program.
- Continuous Improvement: Engage in ongoing training and professional development to stay current with emerging learning methodologies, educational technologies, and best practices in online facilitation.
**Required Qualifications:**
- Professional experience in semiconductor manufacturing, nanofabrication, microfabrication, or a closely related field, including familiarity with cleanroom process flows.
- Understanding of foundational photolithography processes, including substrate preparation, photoresist coating and development, mask/reticle concepts, exposure methods, alignment, inspection, and downstream pattern-transfer considerations.
- Working knowledge of wet and dry etching methods, including process selection based on etch rate, selectivity, directionality, uniformity, surface quality, and reproducibility.
- Ability to explain plasma-based etching concepts, including RIE fundamentals, process variables, material interactions, and common etch-profile defects.
- Ability to connect lithography and etching decisions to device performance, yield, throughput, cost, and manufacturability.
- Comfort interpreting technical visuals and data, including tool schematics, wafer maps, SEM images, etch profiles, process recipes, and simulation outputs.
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to professionals with varied technical backgrounds and use relevant industry examples to help learners apply course concepts.
- Comfortable facilitating live online discussions, providing timely and impactful feedback to busy professionals.
- Possesses exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal.
