Nice To Haves

Breadth in skills, experience and/or course work across multiple disciplines of manufacturing engineering is strongly desired. Examples include but not limited to: writing/reviewing work instructions (or standard operating procedure manuals), data analytics, automation, mechanical design of equipment or supporting tools, maintaining the product lifecycle, and working in a clean room environment.
Candidates with thin film coating specialization will have skills and/or experience in the design, manufacturing (physical vapor deposition, ion beam sputtering, chemical vapor deposition), and metrology of optical thin film coatings.
Candidates with photolithography specialization will have skills and/or experience with semiconductor fabrication processes (wafer preparation, coating, exposure, development, and etching) and with photolithography equipment (steppers, scanners, and track system).
Knowledge of process control techniques, including statistical process control (SPC), control charts, and yield enhancement.
Having strong time management skills (ability to adjust priorities), ability to work independently, and able to communicate effectively with cross-functional teams are critical skills to support on the floor production.

Responsibilities

Support manufacturing processes of optics, with an emphasis on photolithography and/or thin film coatings.
Design and develop the optical coatings to be deposited on lenses and windows.
Define the parameters of equipment for the processes and define the maintenance items for supporting the equipment for product sustainment.
Perform characterization of the deposited coatings and analyze data.
Provide technical guidance to operators and effectively communicate the processes in work instructions. Develop and manage work instructions.
Investigate defective hardware and provide next steps to get the hardware back into production and implement corrective actions that will prevent defect from occurring.
Drive the adoption of new technologies (capital investments, automation, robotics) to improve efficiency and quality.
