The Position:
We are seeking a highly motivated metasurface design engineer to join our Design & Computation team. You will design, simulate, and optimize advanced metasurfaces for current and next-generation products, collaborating with process, metrology, and manufacturing teams to translate the design into high-volume production.
What you'll do
- Perform day-to-day metasurface design and simulation to meet product and performance specifications.
- Develop and maintain simulation workflows and modeling pipelines using in-house developed codes.
- Scientific compute, program, and automate design tasks using Julia and Python.
- Collaborate with process engineers, metrology team, and foundry partners to ensure design-for-manufacturing.
- Analyze the optical performance data, optimize, and iterate on designs to meet stringent optical and manufacturing requirements.
- Contribute to current product improvement and roadmap for next-generation and future metasurface-based products.
- Document simulation methodologies, design rules, and best practices.
What you'll need
- MS.c. or Ph.D. in Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Solid understanding of metasurface physics and diffractive/geometrical optics.
- Strong hands-on experience with FDTD (e.g., MEEP), RCWA (e.g., S4), and familiarity with other modeling methods (TMM, BPM, FEM, etc).
- Programming experience in Julia, Python, and MATLAB for simulation scripting, scientific computing, and workflow automation.
- Experience in collaborating with process development (lithography, etching, deposition), metrology (SEM/FIB, bench-top setup), and manufacturing teams.
- Proficiency with Git for version control and SLURM for workload management.
- Detail-oriented, self-driven, able to thrive in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment.
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience with custom simulation tool development or optimization pipeline.
- Familiarity with design rule checking and integrating optical design with process limitations.
