TL;DR · Display Metrology Engineer

As a Display Metrology Engineer within the Module Performance Group, you will design and develop industry-leading optical calibration and metrology systems for testing components like display modules and stacked lenses during the New Product Introduction phase. You will prototype and deploy next-generation solutions, assess vendor capabilities, define technical specifications, and lead hardware and software validation through data analytics and failure analysis. The role involves managing technology handoffs from research to manufacturing partners while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to inform critical design decisions. Required skills include expertise in optics or physics, along with proficiency in MATLAB, Python, C/C++, C#, or LabVIEW for automation and data collection. You will also utilize JMP for image analysis. The work focuses on solving complex technical challenges in optical instrumentation, wavefront measurement, PSF/MTF modeling, and color science.

What you'll do

  • Prototype and deploy next-generation metrology solutions for optical modules and components during the New Product Introduction phase.
  • Assess vendor capabilities and manufacturing feasibility to define technical specifications for supplier requirements.
  • Define calibration and test Engineering Requirement Specifications (ERS) for optical instruments and metrology systems.
  • Lead hardware and software validation and failure analysis using data analytics, simulation, and design of experiments.
  • Manage technology handoffs from research and engineering pilot lines to manufacturing partners for mass production scaling.
  • Present engineering findings to multidisciplinary teams to drive technical direction and inform critical design decisions.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Optics, Physics, Opto-mechanics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in the development and/or high-volume deployment of electro-optical modules.
  • Experience in optical instrumentation, data collection, and automation using MATLAB, Python, C/C++, C#, LabVIEW, or equivalent.
  • Master's or Ph.D. degree in a related field is preferred.
  • Proven track record developing display or optical metrology systems.
  • Strong quantitative data and image analysis skills utilizing JMP, MATLAB, or similar tools.
  • Experience in high-volume electronics manufacturing including Six Sigma, P/T ratio, DoE, failure analysis, and system trade-offs.
  • Domain expertise in in-line metrology, wavefront measurement, PSF/MTF modeling, or color science.
