Applied Materials Optical Engineer IV - E4 

United States, California 

702521846

Optical design engineer to support the development of high-performance optical systems used in the semiconductor industry. The position requires participation in all aspects of the design cycle from specification development, design, supplier support, part verification, and integration. It also requires support for system alignment procedures and tooling development. The candidate should have a solid technical grasp of optical design and optical systems and have experience working in a product development environment.

Key Responsibilities

Design and evaluate optical systems.

Develop alignment strategies and tooling.

Develop and maintain error budgets and define subsystem level requirements to be characterized and validated during the system alpha testing phase for current and future products.

Use customer and system requirements to derive design specifications for subsystems, modules, and components and provide input to design engineers throughout the design process.

Define and execute system test plans for prototypeacceptance/qualificationtest of subsystems, modules, and components.

Support escalations pertaining to manufacturing of optical modules and failure analysis of field return modules.

Write and present technical reports summarizing findings and recommending solutions to technical problems.

Technically lead and/or execute engineering projects and spearhead research and development of new technologies as appropriate. Defines experiments and determines the type of meaningful data required to support evaluation and technical decision
