Metrology Algorithm Engineer

Description

Preferred Qualifications

Responsibilities

A successful candidate shall have demonstrated ability in scientific programming with strong working knowledge in computational electromagnetics (field theory) or computational geometry. Knowledge of optical modeling, scatterometry and metrology is a big plus.

Works on sophisticated problems that impact the success of current and future products in modeling and algorithm for metrology. Tasks include developing a problem statement in working with customers, research into particular solutions, develop code, and test prototypes; design, code, and test / integrate into tool product software.

The candidate will be responsible for developing and improving algorithms, measurement capabilities, system optical models, calibrations development, analysis tools for optical metrology applications, and customer interaction with algorithmic aspects.

In addition, the candidate is expected to possess good oral and written skills (English) to demonstrate his or her own thoughts, communicate with other engineers and applications, locally or internationally, on a daily basis.

Minimum Qualifications

• Ph.D. or master's degree in physics / Math / CS / EE or related fields.
• Strong background in at least one of the following areas : computational physics (electromagnetics preferred), numerical optimization, and computational geometry.
• Knowledge in computational electromagnetic (such as RCWA, FDTD and FEM) would be a plus. Knowledge in computer architecture or parallel computing is a huge plus.
• Excellent mathematical and analytical skills.
• Proficient in C / C++ / C# and object-oriented programming.
• Experiences in MATLAB / Python or other algorithm prototyping languages.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritize work accordingly.
• Good oral and written English skills.
