The opportunity

The Sr. Manager, Staff Metrology Engineer will lead a team focused on advancing metrology capabilities for materials, process, and nanostructure characterization. This role is integral to advancing our materials and nanofabrication R&D and will work closely with cross-functional design, process, materials, and integration teams. You will also contribute directly by owning, developing, and deploying metrology tools and methods within our Austin, TX, facility. This position requires working in a clean-room environment.

Location : This position requires being fully on-site at our Austin, TX facility, to ensure seamless collaboration and hands-on support for daily operations. Relocation assistance is available for non-local candidates.

What You'll Do

  • Lead a small team of R&D metrology professionals, setting clear goals and providing feedback to support their professional growth.
  • Establish project priorities and manage resources, ensuring efficient workflow across SEM, EDX, uXRF, AFM, ellipsometry, interferometry, FTIR, DSC, and other characterization equipment.
  • Apply expertise in metrology, characterization, materials, and nanofabrication to support novel material development, imprint and replication processes, wafer cleaning, plasma etch, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and metals deposition.
  • Coordinate with the process integration team and use sound judgment to manage competing priorities around project schedules and tool health.
  • Define, develop, budget, and qualify advanced metrology techniques to deepen the fundamental understanding of waveguide materials, processes, and their impact on device performance. This includes recipe setups, statistical validation such as GR&R and matching studies, long-term stability (LTS), and factory and site acceptance testing for new equipment.
  • Interpret data from metrology equipment, including identification of potential measurement errors and distillation of issues to the process and materials engineering teams as an integral part of the problem-solving process.
  • Must be comfortable working in a cleanroom laboratory environment, adhering to all safety and contamination control protocols.

The Experience You Bring

  • Ph.D. in Materials Science, Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related discipline.
  • Minimum 7 years of hands-on experience in advanced materials characterization techniques, including SEM, AFM, ellipsometry, interferometry, XRD, EDX, uXRF, FTIR, DSC, and TGA.
  • Proven experience in materials and nanostructure characterization, ideally within semiconductor or AR hardware development.
  • Knowledge of statistical methods (MSA / GRR) and process improvement techniques.
  • Familiarity with JMP or similar data visualization tools for organizing and analyzing complex data sets.
  • Capable of producing clear, concise technical documentation and presentations, and building effective partnerships across teams and with external suppliers.
  • It's exciting if you also have

  • A strong statistical background and experience in custom scripting for data post-processing (e.g., JMP, R, Python, Matlab)
  • Strong technical expertise in processing engineering or related disciplines in a cleanroom environment, ideally within semiconductor or AR hardware development.
  • Experience building and managing technical relationships with metrology equipment vendors.
