Metrology Technician

Position Summary:
We are seeking a Metrology Technician for our R&D manufacturing operations. This role will support in-house nanofabrication by testing components for key performance metrics. The Metrology Technician will work cross-functionally with the entire engineering team to ensure that fabricated components are characterized and metrology systems are well-maintained.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform surface, profile, and volumetric measurements using a range of optical metrology tools (e.g., interferometry, scatterometry, microscopy, profilometry).
  
  
• Evaluate performance of optical components (e.g. focal length, PSF, wavefront)
  
  
• Run custom tools in our metrology lab, and act as the point-person for testing fabricated optical components
  
  
• Perform routine maintenance and alignment for optical measurement tools
  
  
• Qualify new metrology tools and processes
  
  
• Maintain detailed records of measurement methods, calibration procedures, and results.
  
  

Optional Responsibilities:

• Aid in the development of custom in-house optical metrology equipment
  
  
• Run data analysis and reporting across various R&D projects
  
  
• Perform additional materials and failure analysis metrology, in house or at external facilities (e.g. SEM, AFM, spectroscopy)
  
  

Qualifications:

• Experience in optical metrology, precision measurement or related disciplines.
  
  
• Hands-on experience with metrology equipment setup, calibration, and troubleshooting.
  
  
• Experience working with delicate components in a laboratory or R&D environment.
  
  
• Experience running scripts on the command-line, and interfacing with a variety of data formats such as spreadsheets, JSON files, HDF5 files, and images.
  
  
• Familiarity with experimental design or measurement system analysis techniques (e.g. gauge R&R) is a plus.
  
  
• Familiarity with optical measurement principles such as interferometry, microscopy, surface profilometry is a plus.
