Minimum qualifications:
Master's degree in material science, chemical engineering, physics, a similar field, or equivalent practical experience. 3 years of industrial experience. Experience with fabrication of advanced optical devices using nano-fabrication or micro-fabrication techniques. Experience working in a cleanroom environment, and experience with lithographic tooling, materials, and processing including electron beam, nano-imprint, and thin film deposition.
Preferred qualifications:
PhD with postdoctoral study. 3 years of industrial experience in material degree material science, chemical engineering, or postdoctoral assignment in engineering, optical sciences, physics, or a similar field. Experience adapting existing processes with new physical building blocks, or creation of new processes to fundamentally advance an existing field. Experience with nano-fabrication techniques such as nano-imprint lithography, etch, deposition, and wets for semiconductor, photonic, or memory applications. Experience with structured problems-solving and standard industrial risk assessments. Knowledge of diffractive optics or photonics. About the job
On this team, you will work on developing processes, materials, and tooling to support validation of optical architectures focused on current and future display systems.
The Google Augmented Reality team is a diverse group of experts tasked with building the foundations for great immersive computing and building helpful, delightful user experiences. We're focused on making immersive computing accessible to billions of people through mobile devices, and our scope continues to grow and evolve.
Responsibilities Lead investigations into new fundamental optical designs, by focusing on capabilities of materials and processes, and develop these designs for inclusion in future hardware devices. Develop processes to support the fabrication and testing of new optical concepts with application in augmented reality display and optics technology. Work with the broader research community to advance new technology elements with a focus on new processes, tools, and materials enabling differentiation in the optical system design space. Keep an overview of the state of art in nanostructure patterning, and set the vision for the future technological developments that support the NIL program roadmap. Secure the resources and collaborations needed to support technological developments, propose and write public funded projects to fuel longer-term innovation, and reinforce the IP portfolio of the NIL program.
