Summary

Payrate: $70.00 - $80.00/hr.

Summary:
We are looking for a hands-on optical & process engineer to join a cross-functional team advancing optical material and product development, supporting optical fingerprinting, characterization, measurement execution, and data analysis activities. The ideal candidate is a proactive team player who enjoys laboratory work, is comfortable with repetitive but critical measurement tasks, and demonstrates strong attention to detail and ownership.

Key Responsibilities:

Process Measurement & Characterization:

Execute optical process measurements and characterization tests across materials and components.
Apply techniques such as ellipsometry, interferometry, profilometry, and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy to evaluate thin-film and optical material properties.
Perform process validation, calibration, and optical reliability testing.
Maintain and operate benchtop metrology setups in optical and laser lab environments.
Work in cleanroom and laboratory settings with high accuracy and consistency.
Process Data Analysis & Root-Cause Investigation (half operator – half engineer)
Collect, analyze, interpret, and report process data—going beyond routine reporting to identify trends, anomalies, and failure modes.
Pull and correlate datasets across optical, structural, and process engineering teams to support cross-functional root-cause analysis.
Use statistical methods (DoE, SPC, trend monitoring) to characterize process stability and drive continuous improvement.
Communicate findings through structured reports and team presentations.

Metrology & Tool Development:

Design and build custom benchtop and pilot-scale process metrology setups to expand internal measurement capabilities.
Develop automated data collection and analysis pipelines to improve process monitoring and throughput—being sure to validate any work produced or supported by AI tooling
Support process bring-up, design validation, GRR studies, and measurement system analysis.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Work closely with optical, process, materials, and design teams.
Review and interpret microscopy and materials characterization data.
Contribute to documentation, reporting, and knowledge sharing across teams.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's or master's degree in optics, physics, materials science, chemistry, optical engineering, or a related discipline. A PhD is a plus but not required.
Experience
3+ years of hands-on optical laboratory or process engineering experience.
Industry background in optical process or materials engineering strongly preferred.
Experience working in cleanroom environments—hands-on, ready to work

Technical Skills:

Optical process characterization techniques (Required): ellipsometry, interferometry, profilometry, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, and/or confocal/optical microscopy.
Thin-film process characterization and optical stack analysis (Required): reflectance, transmission, and familiarity with deposition methods such as ALD or PVD.
Laser and optical lab safety protocols (Required).
Strong data analysis skills—Python required; MATLAB a plus.
Familiarity with statistical analysis tools: JMP, Minitab, MATLAB, or similar.
Strong communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
Ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

AR/VR optics.
Statistical process tools: DoE, SPC, JMP, Minitab.
Clean room and wet chemistry process familiarity (conceptual understanding sufficient; minimal hands-on expected)
Microscopy and advanced characterization techniques: SEM, AFM, TEM (work cross functionally with these teams)
Mechanical testing: adhesion, hardness, and material property characterization.
Material characterization, including adhesive dispensing.
CAD tool familiarity.
Familiarity with AI-assisted data analysis and ability to validate AI-generated results.
Postdoctoral experience.

Desired Soft Skills:

Be eager to learn and develop new technical skills in a fast-moving environment.
Be comfortable performing repetitive yet business-critical characterization and measurement work.
Demonstrate curiosity, a growth mindset, and a strong desire to build credibility amongst teams
Be proactive, self-driven, and ownership-oriented.
Possess a strong "doer" mentality—hands-on execution
Be down-to-earth, collaborative, and easy to work with across teams.
Be coachable and open to training.
Demonstrate strong teamwork and willingness to support broader project needs.
