Companies usually want MS or Phd for entry level R&D positions. There are other jobs such as a process engineer, equipment engineer, etc that don't require that level of ed.

I've taken a series of MEMS classes and taken an internship working on a MEMS based cytoflourometer. I'm also performing some research with neuron polarity and nano contact printing this summer. I'd like to find a jobs in the MEMS/Nano industy but, it seems that most jobs require MS or PhD standings. From your experience where can someone with my credentials work (as an engineer) in these industries. Can you specify particular companies or regions that are known for MEMS/Nano? I'm from California. Thanks for your advice.
