Job Title: Materials Science Engineer
About the job
"Lightwave Logic is a fast growing publicly listed technology company located in Englewood, Colorado, and we offer competitive employment packages.
Our team is composed of world-class technologists. Our materials scientists develop new electro-optic polymers to technical specifications driven by photonic design engineers. Our device engineers use the electro-optic polymers as part of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platform to fabricate high speed modulators used in datacenter and in optical fiber communication networks.
This position bridges the materials development team and device fabrication team to test newly developed electrooptic polymers and claddings.
Major responsibilities:
Fabrication of multilayer optical waveguide devices as a testbed for new materials evaluation.
Dry and wet etch method development for patterning optical micro-structures via photolithography.
Sputter and electroplate patterned metal films.
Formulation of polymer solutions following the direction of a senior chemist.
Perform measurements of films using 2D and 3D profilometer, microscope, UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer, prism-coupler, AFM, and SEM.
Preparation of single and multi-layer thin-films using spin coaters, vacuum deposition, hotplates, and ovens.
Carry out thin film characterization such as adhesion, stability, accelerated high temperature test, film thickness, and refractive index.
Document work thoroughly and keep ELN databases updated.
Must be able to follow instructions, including standard operating procedures and processes; exacting attention to detail is essential for this position.
Work to ensure that a spirit of teamwork and cooperation always exists within the group and work closely with a team.
Exhibit safety awareness, safe work practices, and laboratory hygiene.
Major requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering or applied science; or more than 2 years of clean room experience working with wafers, polymer solutions, and films.
Experience operating a variety of lab and clean room equipment and instrumentation (e.g., microscope, spin coat, profilometer, analytical balance, micropipettes).
Semiconductor fab experience a plus (e.g., photolithography, dry etch, thin film deposition)
Formulating solutions.
Spin-coating experience.
Thin film characterization experience a plus (e.g., Ellipsometry, UV-VIS, AFM, SEM).
Excellent written and oral communication skills."
