Staff Opto-Mechanical Engineer (DUV Systems)
Responsibilities:
The engineering team that creates the world's most advanced bare wafer and un-patterned monitor wafer inspection equipment is looking for an experienced Opto-Mechanical Engineer to lead the development and qualification of complex opto-mechanical assemblies. The candidate will assume responsibility for design, fabrication, alignment, performance characterization, and technical interaction with vendors. This is a hands-on position. The candidate will use conventional and cutting edge DUV metrology tools to characterize subsystem performance. System level inspection tool operation will also be used to establish and verify subsystem requirements and operation. The candidate will collaboratively interact with a multidisciplinary project team an regularly communicate requirements and results in oral and written form. Some travel may be required.
Qualifications :
-Experience designing opto-mechanical modules and custom fixtures and tooling leading to successful introduction into manufacturing. -Expertise with mainstream MCAD and FEA software. -Fundamental optics knowledge: geometric optics, ray tracing, wavefront propogation, polarization, fabrication tolerances, environmental effects. -Opto-Mechanical design principles: kinematic design, flexures, athermalization, environmental effects. -Materials selection and fabrication. -Tolerance analysis, GD&T, error budgeting, flow up and flow down of requirements. -Structural analysis: finite element analysis, stress in optics, creep and stress relaxation, modal analysis. -Thermal analysis: heat transfer, temperature gradients, thermal transients, thermo-elastic analysis. -Optical metrology equipment including lasers, interferometers, autocollimators. -Vendor management: component fabrication, manufacturing process transfer, qualification. -Operational and non-operational environmental and transportation testing including thermal, vibration, and shock.
Bachelor's Level Degree with at least 7 years of experience with the design and test of optical systems.
OR
Master's Level Degree with at least 6 years of experience.
OR
Doctorate (Academic) with at least 5 years of experience.
