Metrology Engineer I

Duration: 12 Months

Summary:

The main function of a metrology engineer is to test and debug advanced optical systems for near-to-eye display applications.

Job Responsibilities:

• Develop testing and metrology capabilities for a broad range of optical parameters for imaging and non-imaging systems
• Specify instruments and tools for optical measurements of components, sub-assemblies, and systems
• Work with vendors for development and qualification of tools and custom test systems, including statistical analysis controls and methods
• Work with other team members to create test plans for component and system validation tests for optical systems.
• Debug and root cause issues with fabricated components and assess viability in terms of product requirements
• Deliver test system rigor through GRR, tolerance analysis, and cross correlation of measurements both internally and with external partners
• Characterize optical, physical, and material properties for imaging and non-imaging systems and its components
• Measures optical systems, materials, and devices and processes experimental data for further analysis.

Must-Have Skills:

• Experience with metrology tools: spectrophotometers (UV Vis), microscopy.
• Measure a lot of different samples
• Working with researchers, and scientists across the field, so this person should have good XFN communication skills, and ability to communicate to other fields such as chemistry, materials, optical, businesses, scientists.

Nice-to-have Skills:

• Experience with advanced optical setups, such as interferometry, or illumination setups.
• Optical design experience.

Skills:

• Knowledge of standard tools and methods for measurement system automation and control.
• High attention to detail.
• Knowledge of optical design tools such as Zemax, FRED or ASAP
• Ability to interpret, analyze and evaluate given information relative to research.
• Self-motivated, persuasive, and analytical.
• Excellent communication skills, verbal and written.
• Experience with optical metrology.

Education/Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Optical Sciences, Physics, or related field.
• Experience in applied research or product development of advanced optics.
• Experience with optical technologies including imaging, illumination, photometry, physical optics, polarization, and color science.
