Scientist, Optical Technologies & Flat Optics (IMRE)

Job Overview
We are seeking a talented and driven Scientist to join our team working on next-generation optical sensing devices. The successful candidate will focus on the fabrication and characterization of advanced nanophotonic structures, including metasurface-based sensing platforms, with applications in high-sensitivity detection and integrated photonic systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and fabricate optical sensing devices, including metasurface-based platforms.
• Perform optical and electrical characterization of sensing devices to evaluate performance and sensitivity.
• Design and optimize fabrication processes for nanophotonic structures.
• Conduct experimental studies and analyze results based on principles of optical physics and nanophotonics.
• Work in a cleanroom environment to implement micro- and nano-fabrication processes.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to improve device functionality and integration.
• Document experimental procedures, results, and contribute to technical reports and publications.

Qualifications & Requirements

• PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Photonics, or a related discipline, with 2 years of relevant experience
• Strong understanding of nanophotonics and optical physics.
• Hands-on experience in optical sensing devices and metasurface fabrication.
• Experience with optical and electrical characterization techniques.
• Proven experience working in a cleanroom environment, including:
• Photolithography
• Electron Beam Lithography (EBL)
• Thin film deposition and nanofabrication processes
• Ability to independently design experiments and solve technical challenges.

Preferred Skills

• Familiar with simulation tools (e.g., FDTD, COMSOL).
• Experience in integrated photonics or lab-on-chip sensing systems.
• Strong publication record in relevant research areas.
