JOB TITLE: Optical Engineer III (E3) The Optical Engineer III (E3) joins the Engineered Optics team within the Office of the CTO to develop metasurface based optics, also known as flat optics. This role involves creating new super thin optical surfaces using nanometer-sized structures on transparent substrates to manipulate light in the deep sub wavelength domain. Key responsibilities include defining novel inspection systems concepts, designing and qualifying modules, and performing research and analysis in physics. The engineer will develop new inspection and metrology systems, troubleshoot complex physics related issues, and execute feasibility studies for complete systems. Required skills include conceptual and practical expertise in optics, the ability to guide less experienced scientists, and proficiency in data analysis to support product risk management and technological customer engagements.
