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.

What you'll need

• 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.
