Senior Optical Metrology Engineer
The Position
Metalenz is seeking a Senior Optical Metrology Engineer to manage metrology systems that support prototyping activities for our metasurface-based optical components and devices. This position is a hands-on role, developing and managing optical set-ups for internal and external customers. You will work closely with a small team of optical engineers and collaborate closely with our design and fabrication groups.
What you’ll do
- Characterize and calibrate prototype polarization cameras for 3D sensing and biometric applications
- Determine optimal designs and process conditions using optical techniques to characterize performance of metasurface designs on glass wafers (polarimetry and metrics like transmission, zero-order diffraction, and MTF)
- Maintain and develop metrology automation systems to ensure wafer-scale optical characterization throughput
- Communicate results and conclusions to design team, fabrication team, software team and senior management.
- Manage databases to store measurement results for various internal customers.
- Work with engineering and operations teams to transfer metrology techniques to high volume testing equipment.
- Collaborate closely with Metalenz design and fabrication teams on new designs and products.
About You
- PhD or MS in appropriate discipline (electrical engineering, physics, etc)
- 3+ years industrial experience in optics
- Comfortable at the optical bench, setting up measurements, aligning lasers and cameras, and designing new experimental set ups.
- Proficient at communicating experiments and conclusions to appropriate audiences
- Experienced with measurement automation using Python
- Image processing experience preferred
- Experience in statistical process control is also preferred
- Optical design with Zemax/Tracepro/Code V/FRED considered a plus
- CAD experience considered a plus
