Senior Lithography Research Engineer

Fab2 • Austin, TX

4d

About The Position

The Positioning Team operates on the nanometer scale. We build lithography, metrology, and motion systems that pattern, inspect, and characterize our chips to push our process to lower nodes. We are bringing on a Senior Lithography Research Engineer to lead our efforts in achieving precise geometry at lower node sizes. This is a highly autonomous, exploratory R&D role where you will drive the development of novel patterning approaches. You'll know you've succeeded in your first 6 months when you have successfully simulated, designed, and fabricated advanced patterning hardware that integrates into our existing processes.

Requirements

• PhD, or equivalent, in Physics, Optics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
• Demonstrated command of applied optics (including sub-wavelength and nanophotonic regimes) and experimental optics/metrology
• Deep, hands-on expertise in nanofabrication and sub-micron patterning
• Strong background in lithography and patterning hardware design, including advanced resolution-enhancement techniques
• Proven ability to plan and execute complex R&D work autonomously, taking generative ideas all the way to working physical prototypes

Nice To Haves

• End-to-end fabrication experience with nanophotonic or sub-wavelength optical devices
• Design experience with metasurfaces or metalenses

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end development, simulation, and fabrication of novel patterning hardware
• Drive exploratory R&D autonomously across optical design and nanofabrication
• Simulate optical and nanophotonic behavior to guide hands-on physical experimentation
• Interface closely with the process team to seamlessly integrate patterning hardware with adjacent deposition, development, and etch steps
