About Wooptix

Wooptix is a semiconductor wafer metrology innovator that provides the fastest, most accurate in‑line measurements with the highest lateral resolution. Through its use of wavefront phase imaging (WFPI), a proprietary technique derived from research in adaptive optics, its systems measure the shape, uniformity, nanotopography and roughness of the entire silicon wafer in a single image. It is actively deploying solutions at various customer sites across Asia, Europe and North America.

Together with their resistance to vibrations and ease of adapting to the user’s needs, they are valuable systems for measuring the wafer shape and nanotopography in a single image.

Our Mission

We design and develop disruptive metrology equipment for the semiconductor industry, delivering unmatched resolution and precision with the highest throughput.

About The Role

We are seeking a Junior Optical Engineer to join our SEBI Camera team and support the development of innovative optical and optomechanical systems. This role is ideal for a recent graduate who wants to gain hands‑on experience in optical design, simulation, and laboratory work, while contributing to real‑world engineering projects in a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the design and simulation of optical and optomechanical systems.
• Develop and maintain scripts for image processing and analysis under supervision.
• Participate in the assembly, testing, and characterization of optical prototypes.
• Assist with laboratory management, including inventory control and data organization.
• Collaborate with senior engineers and researchers on experimental setups and documentation.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Optical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field (required).
• Basic programming skills in Python, MATLAB, or similar scientific environments.
• Familiarity with optical simulation tools (e.g., Zemax, COMSOL) or strong motivation to learn them.
• Understanding of basic image processing concepts and techniques.
• Participation in academic or extracurricular projects related to optics or photonics.
• Curiosity, problem‑solving attitude, and willingness to learn.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work effectively in a team‑oriented environment.
• Good communication skills in both Spanish and English.

What we offer

• Indefinite full‑time contract.
• 23 working days of holiday.
