Job Description: R&D Engineer/Scientist, EUV

Energetiq is the high technology, ultra-bright light source division of Hamamatsu Corp., a Japanese optical components and systems company. At Energetiq we are growing our market presence by introducing breakthrough products using our patented, ultra-bright Laser-Driven Light Source (LDLS™) and Electrodeless Z-Pinch™ EUV technologies. These technologies are used in a variety of markets such as high-end computer chip manufacturing, sensor testing for cell phones, and in a variety of drug discovery and medical applications. Our customers are sophisticated equipment manufacturers that operate at the forefront of what is possible.

Location: This position is onsite and is based in Wilmington, MA

Position Summary:

We are seeking an R&D Experimental Engineer / Scientist to develop next-generation EUV source technologies—from early-stage concept evaluation through prototype development—and to enhance the performance of current EUV systems.

This role involves hands-on experimental work, including the design and execution of experiments, development of proof-of-concept hardware, and use of advanced characterization techniques. The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in experimental physics or a related field (e.g., plasma systems, advanced materials processing such as CVD, or similar technologies), along with a practical mindset toward system development.

The Engineer / Scientist will collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers to evaluate new technologies, analyze results, and mature concepts into prototype-ready systems with consideration for performance, reliability, and serviceability.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop next-generation EUV source technologies from early-stage concept through prototype development
• Experimentally evaluate candidate technologies using a range of characterization methods (plasma, optical, electrical, thermal, and gas diagnostics)
• Design, build, and operate proof-of-concept hardware and experimental setups, including R&D EUV sources and beamline systems
• Plan and execute experiments; analyze and interpret data to guide design decisions and technology development
• Collaborate with theoretical and experimental teams to compare results with models and refine experimental approaches
• Advance technologies to a level suitable for prototype system builds
• Improve performance of current-generation EUV sources and expand their application space
• Communicate technical findings effectively through presentations, reports, and cross-functional discussions
• Ph.D. in Physics or a related field, or M.S. with significant relevant experience
• 5+ years of post-graduate academic or industrial R&D experience
• Strong hands-on experience designing and executing complex experiments
• Experience working with electronic circuits and characterization instrumentation (e.g., oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, sensors)
• Background in plasma systems or related fields (e.g., CVD, high-energy systems, advanced materials processing, vacuum-based systems)
• Experience with vacuum systems (pumps, valves, MFCs)
• Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Octave)
• Familiarity with power electronics and high-voltage systems
• Working knowledge of optics and optical physics
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including presenting technical content to groups
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally (up to ~10%)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience assembling, modifying, and operating advanced characterization systems (e.g., beamlines, spectrometers, imaging systems, x-ray/UV optics, photodiodes)
• Deep understanding of plasma generation, control, and diagnostic techniques
• Experience with simulations (e.g., gas transport, thermo-mechanical analysis)
• Product development experience, including transitioning concepts to prototype systems

The compensation salary range for this role is $113,000 to $121,000. Actual compensation packages are based on several factors that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, depth of experience, and certifications.
