About the role

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end development, simulation, and fabrication of novel patterning hardware
  • Drive exploratory R&D autonomously across optical design and nanofabrication
  • Simulate optical and nanophotonic behavior to guide hands-on physical experimentation
  • Interface closely with the process team to seamlessly integrate patterning hardware with adjacent deposition, development, and etch steps

Requirements

  • PhD, or equivalent, in Physics, Optics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
  • Demonstrated command of applied optics (including sub-wavelength and nanophotonic regimes) and experimental optics/metrology
  • Deep, hands-on expertise in nanofabrication and sub-micron patterning
  • Strong background in lithography and patterning hardware design, including advanced resolution-enhancement techniques
  • Proven ability to plan and execute complex R&D work autonomously, taking generative ideas all the way to working physical prototypes

Nice-to-haves

  • End-to-end fabrication experience with nanophotonic or sub-wavelength optical devices
  • Design experience with metasurfaces or metalenses
