The Senior Scientist - EUV Research joins the Technology Development team to conceive and demonstrate technologies for next-generation high-power extreme ultraviolet light sources. This role involves defining droplet generator architectures, designing hardware, and building metrology and testing capabilities to demonstrate performance up to 1000’s of Kbar. The successful candidate will bridge the gap between modeling and experiments, transforming complex multi-physics environments into digestible phenomena. Key responsibilities include identifying scientific learning objectives, executing system performance tests, and troubleshooting issues with tin delivery and optical systems. Required expertise includes applied physics, plasmas, metrology, optics, controls, lasers, and experiment design. Candidates should possess skills in materials science, high-pressure sealing, microfluidics, and data analysis using Matlab or Python. The work focuses on the laser-produced plasma process for EUV generation.
Guide the development of high-level architecture for generating droplets in the EUV source.
Lead the design of droplet generation hardware and build necessary metrology and testing capabilities.
Identify scientific learning objectives and design experiments to define performance requirements and design guidelines.
Execute system and subsystem performance tests and extract actionable knowledge from sub-module to full-system levels.
Troubleshoot issues with droplet generation, tin delivery, and optical systems to improve performance.
Build and maintain droplet generator models anchored via experimental validation and prioritize model improvement activities.
Document findings and communicate technical knowledge to engineering and product development teams.
What we're looking for
PhD or MS degree in Materials engineering, Mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, material science, physics, optics, or an equivalent field.
Minimum of 3+ years of relevant experience in materials engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, material science, physics, or optics.
Hands-on experience with complex high-pressure system design, build, rapid prototyping, characterization, and troubleshooting via metrology techniques.
Extensive experience with experimental data analysis and development of data analysis tools using Matlab, Python, or NI Labview.
Experience with glass, ceramics, refractory materials, and high-pressure sealing technology in corrosive environments (preferred).
Experience with microfluidics, liquid jet breakup, droplet coalescence, piezoelectricity, and acoustics (preferred).
Experience with high-pressure applications such as water jet cutting, nozzle design, or common-rail diesel injectors (preferred).
Legal authorization to access controlled technology as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations.
