## Description

You will build computer vision software for lithography and metrology on semiconductor manufacturing equipment. This includes modeling optical systems and developing nanometer-scale alignment (fiducials, calibration methods) through iteration on real hardware. You will also develop vision systems for wafer-handling and process automation equipment. Additionally, you will work on post-lithography metrology, including defect detection and optical proximity correction (OPC) modeling.

You will work closely with full-stack, mechanical, electrical, optical, and process engineers on cross-functional problems.

We are open to a range of experience levels, from early-career to experienced engineers. The most important attribute is a strong mathematical and programming background and the ability to experiment and learn new things.

Responsibilities

 * Develop classical computer vision algorithms for inspection, measurement/metrology, alignment, positioning, defect detection, and camera calibration.
 * Build systems that extract reliable measurements and process information from images, including dimensions, feature boundaries, and manufacturing variation.
 * Develop image registration, camera calibration, and pose estimation capabilities for precision equipment and optical systems.
 * Apply spatial-domain and frequency-domain image processing techniques to solve scientific and industrial vision problems.
 * Integrate computer vision systems with cameras, motion systems, robotics, and other electromechanical equipment.
 * Turn experimental approaches into reliable production software, including testing, validation, performance optimization, and failure handling.
 * Partner with software, mechanical, electrical, optical, and process engineers to develop new manufacturing and metrology tools.
