We are looking for a dedicated and creative Optical System Engineer toYou will be part of our Research and Development of a novel metrology technologies for film stacks and critical dimensions measurements. Please note, this is an individual contributor role.

Responsibilities

• Own end to end development of optical modules, devices and illumination systems from the stage of system requirements definition to prototypes validation and release to production. To execute you will need to define detailed workplans for self and others reflecting all stages of HW module development.
• Responsibilities will include module timeline planning, escorting the development process through all HW design phases, proof of design test plan definitions, integration and system testing support.
• You will need to work with teams to coordinate and reinforce development schedules and insure in quality and in time delivery.
• Act as Optics and Advanced development representative in projects, providing regular updates to project and division managers as well as preparing material for major project millstones reviewed at the executive management levels.
• Technical responsibilities will include architectures and concepts comparative analysis, engagement with market leading suppliers for sophisticated components and subsystems prototyping, optomechanical error budgets derivation, hands on LAB and Tool experimentation and characterization, take part in performance limiters and tool issues resolution.
• As part of the Advanced development team your responsibilities will include active participation in solution of technology limiters and performance limiters, teamwork with your peers and collaboration with Engineering, and management teams!

Required Skills
