Role and responsibilities

The main responsibility of the researcher is to contribute to the detailed design, analysis, and validation of advanced optical systems. The work will focus on testing and characterization of the system, including planning and executing tests, developing and maintaining test scripts in Matlab and/or Labview, and performing optical simulations. The role may include testing of the system in a lab environment and/or on a full lithography tool. Regular reporting of results is required, and the opportunity to drive or contribute to alternate design concepts may arise as test results become available. The researcher will work closely with other researchers and engineers and is expected to operate with a high degree of technical ownership and accountability.
