Job Description

Job Description Position Overview We are seeking a highly motivated Research Engineer to join our Flat Optics research team. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of next-generation flat optics technologies for emerging applications in imaging, optical sensing, and advanced display systems. The role involves device fabrication, characterization, and integration of flat-optics components with optoelectronic devices, supporting the translation of innovative research into practical technologies. Key Responsibilities - Participate in the fabrication and characterization of nanophotonic and flat-optics devices. - Perform micro- and nanofabrication processes in a cleanroom environment, including lithography, thin-film deposition, etching, and related semiconductor processing techniques. - Integrate flat-optics components with optoelectronic devices and imaging systems. - Conduct optical and structural characterization, analyze experimental data, and prepare technical reports. - Collaborate with multidisciplinary research teams and contribute to technology development projects with academic and industrial partners. - Maintain laboratory equipment, follow cleanroom safety procedures, and document experimental processes and results. Requirements - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Physics, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. - Strong interest in optics, semiconductor processing, or optoelectronic devices. - Good analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. - Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment. Preferred Qualifications - Hands-on experience working in a semiconductor or micro-/nanofabrication cleanroom. - Experience with thin-film deposition techniques such as sputtering, electron-beam evaporation, thermal evaporation, atomic layer deposition (ALD), or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). - Familiarity with lithography, plasma etching, wafer processing, or semiconductor fabrication techniques. - Experience in optical characterization or microscopy is an advantage. - Programming or data analysis skills (e.g., Python or MATLAB) are desirable. What We Offer - Opportunity to work on cutting-edge flat-optics technologies with real-world applications. - Exposure to advanced nanofabrication and characterization facilities. - Collaboration with leading researchers and industry partners. - A dynamic, multidisciplinary research environment with opportunities for professional development.
