Lead In-Line Metrology Engineer

Lead In-Line Metrology Engineer Responsibilities:

• Work closely with external partners to transfer products into manufacturing and enable effective investigate of root cause of failure/defects by enabling the right metrology capability to assign in problem solving.
• Enable external partners to design and develop in process metrology solutions that can support our product development capabilities and requirements.
• Drive alignment on metrology requirements in response to design and product changes while maintaining development schedules and goals.
• Engage with external partners to direct and align all metrology engineering workstreams into a cohesive metrology strategy to support critical product schedules and development needs.
• Define, design and develop optical metrology solutions including hardware engineering, test software implementation, and instrument qualification.
• Critical thinking and problem-solving skills that support effective decision making.
• Interface with Design and Process teams to align metrology requirements to design requirements and support the transfer to the development process line.
• Lead qualification activity with cross functional teams for end-to-end process.
• Develop benchtop and production instrumentation to characterize complex optical modules and integrated systems (display and optics).
• Develop methodology on establishing new metrology techniques and establish the correct partnerships with industry solution provides.
• Communicate effectively within the development teams, with internal stakeholders, and with outside vendors.
• Ability to work in external environments and travel domestically and internationally up to 30%.

Minimum Qualifications:
