Description: The successful candidate will work as a member of the product engineering group and interface with manufacturing teams in developing and characterizing liquid-crystal-based light modulators. Relevant experience in characterizing and formulating polymers, operating basic electrical and optical instrumentation, processing images, and coding in Matlab and Labview required.

Responsibilities: Characterize electrical and optical properties of NCAP (nematic curvilinear aligned phase) liquid-crystal films. Make improvements and continue development of electro-optical test-stations driven by GPIB and controlled with Labview. Characterize and formulate NCAP (nematic curvilinear aligned phase) coating material. Develop and improve algorithms for image processing and defect thresholding in MATLAB.Drive failure analysis of poorly performing devices. Education/ExperienceBS or higher degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, material science, EE, physics or related field. Familiarity with basic electrical instrumentation: oscilloscopes, pulse generators, photodiodes, IV, CVBasic familiarity with semiconductor process technology and cleanroom protocol. At least 6 months experiencing in formulating, coating, and characterizing polymer-based films. Experience in controlling instrumentation and data acquisition over GPIB using Labview. Strong MATLAB coding experience particularly with respect to image processing. Knowledge of defect thresholding techniques a plus. Experience in statistical process control (SPC) and Design of Experiments (DOE) principles. Familiarity with basic failure analysis and thin film characterization: reflectometry, SEM, TEM, FTIR.Familiarity with analytical chemistry techniques: TGA, DSC, GPLC, ICP, NMR

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
