Metrology Engineer

At Meta Reality Labs, we are developing the future of Wearables and Mixed Reality products and this team focuses on developing display and optics technologies for Meta products. Their mission is to create see-through display systems that seamlessly blend the real and virtual realms. This involves designing the architecture and all display sub-systems for AR glasses based on leading technologies developed by Meta’s teams. We work on creating advanced display technologies that are essential for AR and VR systems while having sub-teams who connect bits, electrons, photons, and experience for display products across wearables and the metaverse while focusing on display silicon architecture, applied perception studies, image quality, and defining the roadmap and long-term platform development strategy. Within Display & Optics organization, we also aim to develop and implement test, characterization, metrology, and data solutions to support the creation of transparent display systems.

As a Metrology Engineer with an optical foundation, you will be responsible for developing and implementing precise, robust, high‐throughput metrology solutions for critical dimension, profile, and film thickness metrology using optical Scatterometry, interferometry, reflectometry/ellipsometry, bright field, and/or laser scanning equipment to develop and control complex, multi‐dimensional thin film head structures in high volume manufacturing. You will also have cross-functional duties, primarily in Inspection and other non-destructive metrology methods, and will work closely with process engineering in support of wafer manufacturing.Metrology Engineer Responsibilities

• Develop and own applications in support of Development and Manufacturing as an Optical Scatterometry, CD-SEM Applications Engineer in the Metrology group
• Develop recipes, Best Known Methods (BKM), and enablement for inline process metrology solutions
• Work with tech leads, peer engineers to plan and perform measurements for the characterization, metrology of different materials (semiconductors, metals, organic and inorganic) and devices, and can suggest follow-up studies for advanced characterization, failure analysis and reliability issues
• Analyzing and summarizing characterization, metrology data and communicating these results to internal and external partners
• Managing services with external partners or onboarding new partners to expand capabilities
• Owner of metrology equipment e.g. OCD, CD-SEM, Inspection, inline metrology tools, managing routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting. Working with equipment vendors to coordinate tool repairs and upgrades as needed
• Develop, build documentation and improve standard operating procedures for measurements and analysis methods needed to extract key metrics, data quality, tool health and data insights
• Training and mentoring technicians, overseeing tool operation for routine measurements
• Partner with process-engineering, DFM, Integration owners to improve process yields and understand device performance
• Robust structured problem-solving skills and Root Cause Analysis
• Identify equipment issues and cross-functional work with internal and external partners and vendors to assure optimal tool-fleet performance
• Manage external partnership with vendors and instrument manufacturers to define metrology samplings plans from research, development to production
• Drive method transfers to internal and external partners to support technology research, exploration and development
• Master’s degree in Physics, Material Science, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years experience in working with semiconductor, inorganic, organic materials and devices using advanced e-beam microscopy techniques
• Experience operating and recipe development on Optical Scatterometry (OCD), CD-SEM, Inspection, Ellipsometry, Reflectometry, Interferometry
• Experience using and interpreting advanced material characterization techniques like TEM, EDX, EELS, AFM, SIMS and XRD for assessing material quality
• Experience with data analysis software e.g. Origin or JMP
• Experience working directly on the tools and handling real wafers, samples in a clean room and wafer-FAB processing is preferred
• Demonstrate expertise and depth in the areas of Scatterometry, Ellipsometry, Inspection, Optical Characterization & Modeling
• Experience enabling and owning metrology applications, equipment supporting in evolving technology development environments
• Good Experience enabling metrology applications in challenging technology development environments
• Experience using scripting languages e.g. Python, MATLAB, JMP
• Project planning and problem-solving techniques such as 8D
• Knowledge of processes including deposition, etch, lithography, metrology, cleans
• Experience working and communicating cross-functionally in a team environment
