Determine optimal designs and process conditions using optical techniques to characterize performance of 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 team, fabrication team, software team 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.

Comfortable at the optical bench, setting up measurements, aligning lasers and cameras, and designing new experimental set ups.

Proficient at communicating experiments and conclusions to appropriate audiences

Experienced with measurement automation using Python

Image processing experience preferred

Experience in statistical process control is also preferred

Optical design with Zemax/Tracepro/Code V/FRED considered a plus

CAD experience considered a plus

The Company

Metalenz is a growing, venture-backed start-up that is the first to commercialize meta-optics and enable the next generation of 3D sensing in consumer electronics, automotive and industrial robotics markets. Built on research from Harvard University, Metalenz has 20+ patents on innovations that simplify and improve optical devices. Unlike traditional optics, the company’s metasurface technology provides complex, multifunctional optical performance in a single semiconductor layer, relocating large-scale production of optics to semiconductor foundries, that print lenses like computer chips.

Now in the market, Metalenz metasurface optics will be in millions of consumer devices this year. Based in downtown Boston near TD Garden, Metalenz is conveniently located across the street from North Station.
