Electro-Optics Intern

About Seurat

Seurat is transforming manufacturing for people and our planet by delivering a scalable additive manufacturing solution to fundamentally change how products are made. Seurat’s proprietary Area Printing process, developed at Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL), allows metal components to be manufactured at price points and quality levels that compete directly with conventional manufacturing techniques, enabling the reshoring of supply chains and promoting the decarbonization of industry. Seurat has raised over $180M and is backed by leading venture partners like Capricorn, NVentures (NVIDIA), True Ventures, General Motors Ventures, Denso, Porsche SE, SIP global partners, Honda, Xerox Ventures/Myriad Venture Partners, Cubit Capital, Siemens Energy, and Maniv Mobility.

Responsibilities

Semiconductor and Electro-Optics internship will primarily support the research and development to help produce our revolutionary electro-optic photopatterning devices and assembly, and to support short term and long-term technology development at Seurat. Particular emphasis for this internship will be on measurements and analysis of wide bandgap semiconductors using Deep level transient spectroscopy-DLTS and optical DLTS.   It is expected that the intern will contribute to projects that include electro-optical design, optical and thermal model development, materials testing, electrical system design, and junctions design. 

Interns are expected to work with some programs such as LabVIEW, MATLAB, SolidWorks, or COMSOL.

Qualifications

Engineering, Physics, students at graduate and postdoctoral level with hands-on experience with DLTS instruments. Additional desirable experience: Lasers, Optical design, thermal control, electro-optic component test and evaluation, circuit theory, machine shop interaction, technical assembly, Excel, LabVIEW, MATLAB, ACAD, Mentor Graphics.  We need someone with a strong background in power semiconductors and electro-optics research preferably.

• Experience with processing, development, and testing of semiconductors using DLTS.
• Experience with electrical characterization: impedance analyzers or IV Curve Tracers
• Experience with optical microscopy & thin film characterization
• Experience with signal generation & measurement: time & frequency domain characterization
• Familiarity with optical materials and coatings, as well as their manufacturing techniques
• Highly organized with attention to detail
• Effective communication, both verbal and written. 
• Must be able to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams.

Requirements:

• Graduate student in good standing, Masters or PhD. in EE, Physics, Mathematics, Optics, Materials Science, and Chemistry or postdoc.

Preferred Experiences:
