Senior Process Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own the development and optimization of nanoimprint lithography (JFIL) processes for eyepiece fabrication
• Design and execute experiments (DOE) to improve process performance, yield, and defectivity
• Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot advanced lithography and metrology equipment in a cleanroom environment
• Develop characterization methods and workflows to evaluate thickness, roughness, feature dimensions, transmission, and defectivity
• Analyze process data and build diagnostic frameworks using JMP, Python, or similar tools
• Improve defect inspection and imaging systems through internal development and vendor collaboration
• Partner with manufacturing teams to transfer processes into high-volume production
• Evaluate, select, and bring up new tools, materials, and process technologies
• Create and maintain process documentation, specifications, and technical reports

Requirements

• 5+ years of industry experience in nanoimprint lithography, semiconductor processing, or nanofabrication
• BS, MS, or PhD in physics, chemistry, engineering, or a related field
• Experience owning process development and optimization in R&D or manufacturing environments
• Hands-on experience designing and executing DOEs and driving yield improvement
• Experience working with complex process and metrology equipment in a cleanroom
• Strong data analysis skills with statistical tools like JMP or Python
• Working knowledge of nanofabrication processes such as lithography, etching, deposition, bonding, or cleaning
• Ability to translate experimental results into actionable process improvements
• Occasional travel required (approximately 5%)

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with nanoimprint lithography (JFIL or NIL)
• Experience scaling processes from R&D to high-volume manufacturing
• Experience with optical or photonic device fabrication, including waveguides
• Familiarity with advanced metrology techniques (SEM, TEM, optical inspection, profilometry, ellipsometry)
• Experience with process control systems (FDC), automation, or data pipelines
• Background in semiconductor, optics, AR/VR, or advanced consumer hardware manufacturing
