Job summary

Metalenz in Boston seeks a Senior Optical Metrology Engineer to lead metrology for metasurface-based optical components. Hands-on role developing optical set-ups for prototyping and collaborating with design and fabrication teams.

You will characterize prototype polarization cameras for 3D sensing, automate metrology workflows with Python, and transfer techniques to high-volume testing equipment. A PhD or MS and 3+ years in optics are expected; the team is small, collaborative, with hybrid work

Qualifications

• PhD or MS in optics, physics or electrical engineering.
• 3+ years industrial experience in optics.
• Hands-on with optical bench, setting up measurements and aligning lasers/cameras.
• Proficient at communicating experiments and conclusions to audiences.
• Experience with measurement automation using Python.
• Image processing experience preferred.
• Experience with statistical process control preferred.
• Optical design software such as Zemax/TracePro/Code V/FRED is a plus.
• CAD experience is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Characterize and calibrate prototype polarization cameras for 3D sensing and biometric applications.
• Determine optimal designs and process conditions using optical techniques to characterize metasurface designs on glass wafers (polarimetry and metrics like transmission, zero-order diffraction, and MTF)
• Maintain and develop metrology automation systems to ensure wafer-scale optical characterization throughput.
• Communicate results and conclusions to design, fabrication, software teams and senior management.
• Manage databases to store measurement results for various internal customers.
• Work with engineering and operations teams to transfer metrology techniques to high volume testing equipment.
