Process/characterization Engineer at Intelliswift

Description The successful candidate will work as a member of the product engineering group and interface with manufacturing teams in developing and characterizing liquid-crystal-based light modulators. Relevant experience in characterizing and formulating polymers, operating basic electrical and optical instrumentation, processing images, and coding in Matlab and Labview required. Responsibilities • Characterize electrical and optical properties of NCAP (nematic curvilinear aligned phase) liquid-crystal films. • Make improvements and continue development of electro-optical test-stations driven by GPIB and controlled with Labview. • Characterize and formulate NCAP (nematic curvilinear aligned phase) coating material. • Develop and improve algorithms for image processing and defect thresholding in MATLAB. • Drive failure analysis of poorly performing devices. Education/Experience • BS or higher degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, material science, EE, physics or related field. • Familiarity with basic electrical instrumentation: oscilloscopes, pulse generators, photodiodes, IV, CV • Basic familiarity with semiconductor process technology and cleanroom protocol. • At least 6 months experiencing in formulating, coating, and characterizing polymer-based films. • Experience in controlling instrumentation and data acquisition over GPIB using Labview. • Strong MATLAB coding experience particularly with respect to image processing. Knowledge of defect thresholding techniques a plus. • Experience in statistical process control (SPC) and Design of Experiments (DOE) principles. • Familiarity with basic failure analysis and thin film characterization: reflectometry, SEM, TEM, FTIR. • Familiarity with analytical chemistry techniques: TGA, DSC, GPLC, ICP, NMR
