You will be responsible for crafting and developing industry leading optical calibration and metrology systems for testing optical modules and components (e.g. display panels and much more), during NPI (new product introduction) stage, with the supports from SW/HW multi-functional teams. Initiate, explore, prototype and deploy new technology for module and key optical component testing to support product design and development. Provide technical assessments of vendor capability, tester manufacturing feasibility, and validate and influence supplier’s technical specification to fulfill design requirements and key performance matrix characterization bring up. Define calibration & measurement Engineering Requirement Specification (ERS) for optical instruments and automated systems. Conduct HW/SW validation and FA for metrology instruments and systems. Deep dives in new tester prototyping, FA, scale up through simulation, design of experiments, data analysis and technical benchmarking (Gauge R&R process). Involved in tester related component, module and system level process, design and spec funneling to enable manufacturability in high volume. Champion new technology transfer to manufacturing partners from research/pilot line to ensure scalability.
- Ph.D. or M.S. with 3+ years experience in development and high volume deployment of electro-optical modules in Optics, Physics, Opto- mechanics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields.
- Experience in optical instrumentation and data collection & automation, familiar with tools such as Matlab, Python, C#, C/C++ or LabView or equivalent.
- Strong capability in design, setup and execution of complex optical experiments either in house or with external vendor. Have experience in identify, define, develop, test and deploy state-of-the-art optics for display and optical system.
- Strong communication skills to communicate clearly and efficiently across a range of technical teams, including management, peers, and suppliers.
- Strong optical simulation and system modeling experience, familiar with ray tracing tools such as LightTools, Zemax, CodeV etc. and perform optical simulation and experimental lab validation to follow through.
- Strong quantitative data analysis abilities, using JMP, Matlab, or equivalent tools and familiar with relevant algorithm for image analysis and data analysis.
- Experience in high volume manufacturing of consumer electronics (optical preferred), familiar with 6 sigma, P/T, design of experiment, failure analysis, risk management and system trade off study.
- Experience in one or more fields: in-line metrology and testing development, thin film fabrication and physics understanding/modeling, injection molding manufacturing and testing, diffraction optics manufacturing and testing, sensor manufacturing and testing.
- This role requires ability to learn and explore new areas quickly and take responsibility for project success amid high ambiguity.
