Staff Optical Sensing Architect

Introduction to the jobThe metrology architect will be responsible for the development of the subsystems that measure, control, or support the production of EUV light in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source for next generation photolithography tools. These metrology systems use a variety of optical measurement techniques to accomplish their function. The architect will be responsible for creating specifications for the metrology performance, defining architectures that meet those specifications and analyzing the solutions to predict performance. The architect will own the roadmap for metrology development and improvement. Engineering tasks will include design, development, testing, troubleshooting, digital signal analysis and image processing and productization of the metrology. In addition, the architect will provide technical leadership to the project.Role and responsibilitiesResponsible for metrology architecture of one or more subsystems and roadmap.Provides technical leadership to the team.Develops specifications for light emitting or light sensing measurement modules in accordance with system requirements and cross-functional requirements.Serves as a technical expert for one or more metrology subsystems, capable of independent decision making for critical technical issues.Interacts with cross-functional groups (engineers and scientists, system engineering, worldwide customer support personnel, manufacturing personnel, upper management, marketing, external customers). Crosses functional boundaries and builds constructive and effective relationships throughout the whole organization.Support project execution in work breakdown/feature-slicing and engineering effort estimates.Work in a lab test bench and cleanroom environment: investigates the feasibility of applying scientific and mathematical design principles and concepts to potential inventions and products. Leads and performs integration activities including troubleshooting the control system, designing and executing test plans.Leads the design and building of tools that allow debugging, analysis, and performance evaluation of metrology system performance. Leads the root cause analysis for metrology system failures during escalations in products for integration and research.Documents work results with system requirements, design specifications, procedures, and training materials.Performs other duties as assigned or required.Education and experience4+ years' experience with a PhD.7+ years' experience with a Master's degree.9+ years' experience with a Bachelor's degree.Ideal candidate usually possesses degree in optics, photonics, physics, electronics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, or imaging sciences.Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of clearly explaining technical tradeoffs and ideas to peers and scientists of other disciplines, as well as management and customers.Able to apply various modeling techniques for optical, opto-mechanical, and electronic systems.Able to develop and review theoretical models and concepts.Able to apply expertise in advanced data acquisition and analysis tools (e.g. LabView, MATLAB, Python).Able to analyze data and effectively report problems through written and/or graphical formats.Able to troubleshoot failures in a complex system.Experience with signal chain processing and opto-electronics systems is highly desirable.Hands-on experience with optical alignment processes and tools, laser systems, and building signal detection and processing systems is a plus.Experience with polarization control optics, polarimetry techniques, and stray light in systems is a plus.Experience with modeling optical design and analysis software (e.g. Zemax) is a plus.Experience with mechanical design software e.g. NX is a plus.Solid theoretical and experimental background in some or all of: Sensors and/or detectors, including camera systems; High speed electronics; Laser optics; Imaging optics; Fiber optics; Non-linear optics; Ultrafast, solid state, diode, and gas lasers; Optical design and analysis; Optical metrology.Experience with SAFe and ASML development practices is highly desirable.Proficient in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint.SkillsExcellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
