The Staff Laser Scientist joins the Source Research team to develop technologies for next-generation high-power Laser Produced Plasma Extreme Ultraviolet light sources and DUV lasers. This role involves guiding high-level architecture definitions for laser design, including discharge types, gas flow, and optical designs. The scientist will lead product pathfinding from low technical readiness to system-level validation, creating optical and gain models to identify innovation areas. Key responsibilities include identifying scientific learning objectives, executing performance tests, and troubleshooting sub-system issues to meet future technology roadmaps. Required expertise includes applied physics, plasmas, metrology, optics, controls, and experiment design. Candidates must possess hands-on experience with breadboard laser and optical system design, alignment, and performance characterization, alongside a deep understanding of laser physics, engineering, and control systems to solve complex lithography light source problems.
