Job Details

3D lithography Engineer (Multiphoton Optics or related) (2 positions)

A senior engineer with a strong work ethic and experience in 3D lithography using multiphoton optics or related technologies will lead in‑house efforts in design, test, and implementation of complex microstructures. You will also achieve metallization in these devices and coordinate all 3D design efforts from the nanoscale to macroscale.

The ideal candidate has a PhD or equivalent in Physics, Optics, or Microsystems. Previous work in Neuroscience is especially beneficial but not mandatory. You must demonstrate a strong interest in biology with a deep understanding of biocompatible polymers or materials and be hungry to learn more.

Experience & Additional Qualifications

• 3+ years experience in cleanroom developments and post‑processing including photolithography, Nanoimprint lithography, Reactive ion etching, Metallization/Material deposition, and Device packaging.
• Experience in semiconductor devices, photonics, and CMOS technologies.
• Experience in material characterization: AFM, SEM, TEM, XPS, and related techniques.
• PhD in Physics, Photonics, Nano or Micro Technology, or equivalent with 3–5 years of experience. M.Sc. accepted with 10+ years of experience.

Detailed Responsibilities

• Coordinate all 3D design and implementation efforts for test and production.
• Provide detailed input to automation processes.
• Develop cost‑effective scale‑up requirements for these devices (>100K devices per year).
• Seek fabrication facilities for mass production.
• Develop strategies for maintaining a comparative advantage in‑house versus outsourcing, and for IP generation.

Requirements

• To conform to ITAR regulations, the applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual, or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
• Equal Opportunity Employer; We hire for individual competence, retain on results, advance for excellence – no exceptions.
