The ideal candidate is highly organized, results- and detail-oriented, and enjoys working directly with hardware in a fast-paced engineering environment.
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Perform optical and electrical measurements using prototype and commercial test equipment. Evaluate new test procedures as needed to support new products and processes.
- Set up, operate, maintain, and troubleshoot laboratory test equipment used for device characterization, qualification, and manufacturing support.
- Execute test plans and collect accurate, high-quality measurement data in support of product development and process engineering activities.
- Analyze measurement results, identify anomalies, and assist in troubleshooting device, process, or test-system issues.
- Support engineering investigations by planning experiments and performing detailed measurements.
- Maintain clear and organized records of procedures, samples received, measurements performed, results, and equipment status.
- Assist with qualification and validation of new products, processes, and test methods.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure timely execution of testing priorities and project milestones.
- Follow laboratory procedures and best practices to ensure safe, accurate, and repeatable measurements.
- Contribute to continuous improvement efforts to enhanced test methods, 4automation, organization, and equipment utilization.
Required Skills:
- BS or equivalent experience in Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Engineering Technology, or a related field.
- 3-5 years of hands-on experience performing measurements in a laboratory or manufacturing environment.
- Experience programming, configuring and operating manufacturing test equipment.
- Knowledge of optical measurement principles and characterization techniques.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with the ability to systematically investigate technical issues.
- Highly organized and detail-oriented with excellent documentation and record-keeping practices.
- Ability to follow test procedures while maintaining flexibility in a fast-paced development environment.
- Proficiency with data analysis tools such as Excel, MATLAB, Python, LabVIEW, or similar software.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
Preferred Skills:
- Experience with optoelectronic, photonic, semiconductor, display, micro-LED, imaging, or optical communication technologies.
- Familiarity with wafer-level or device-level characterization and testing.
- Hands-on experience with automated test systems and data acquisition software.
- Experience supporting prototype development through pilot production and manufacturing ramp.
- Knowledge of statistical analysis, measurement system validation, or process control techniques.
- Experience maintaining, calibrating, or improving laboratory measurement equipment.
- Exposure to cleanroom, semiconductor fabrication, or advanced manufacturing environments.
