Job description
Myrias Optics, Inc. is a fast-growing startup using proprietary nanoimprint technology to revolutionize the way optical components and systems are conceptualized, designed, and manufactured. The company is positioned to disrupt markets across a wide range of applications including consumer electronics, AR, 3D scanners and LiDAR, imaging systems, optical communications, medical equipment, optical computing and more. Our unique all-inorganic imprinted optics enable metalenses, diffractive optics, waveguides all manufactured using wafer level process. By removing any organic material, we not only eliminate environmental and reliability issues but at the same time enable more complex designs with unmatched optical performance and highly cost-effective manufacturing.
POSITION – Process Engineer
Reporting to the Technical Director, the Process Engineer will collaborate with a talented team of engineers and scientists to help develop and manufacture cutting-edge Myrias Optics components and systems. Specifically, this position will support Myrias' nanoimprint ink development efforts, working with our process and characterization teams to optimize the formulations and process conditions to enable imprinted optical devices with high performance, high yield and new functionality. This position will also be responsible for transitioning the technology to our manufacturing team whose goal will be to bring a high volume, high yield nanoimprint process to market for our optical components and subsystems. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and capable engineer to gain expertise in the growing fields of meta-optics, waveguides, and diffractive optics. Together, we can shape next-generation optical systems for consumer devices, AR, medical instrumentation, automobiles, robotics, and more.
POSITION TYPE: Full time, on-site
RESPONSIBILITIES
Process and formulation development:
Work closely with the Myrias process, characterization and manufacturing teams to develop and optimize ink formulations meeting product requirements and production standards
