Optics Fabrication Engineer

We are seeking an Optics Fabrication Engineer to join our ever growing team at AdvR. An Optics Fabrication Engineer is responsible for the development, optimization, fabrication, and characterization of nonlinear optical waveguides. This role bridges research and manufacturing by translating device designs into robust, repeatable fabrication processes, supporting prototype builds and ensuring process quality, yield, and documentation. The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on fabrication skills with process engineering rigor and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities include:
• Perform hands-on fabrication of nonlinear optical waveguides
• Translate device designs and performance requirements into manufacturable fabrication recipes and travelers.
• Establish process windows, tolerances, and control metrics to ensure repeatability and yield.
• Develop, qualify, and continuously improve fabrication processes
• Troubleshoot process issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
• Performing mechanical and/or chemical processes to define waveguides
• Dice and polish waveguide crystal subassemblies
• Define and execute physical and optical characterization to assess fabricated waveguides and devices.
• Analyze process and device data to guide optimization and design feedback.
• Generate trustworthy, defendable data to support technical decisions and program milestones
• Create and maintain detailed process documentation, SOPs, travelers, and change records.

Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, optics, or other related field, or 5+ years of hands-on experience working in Chemistry or Photonics fabrication
• Ability to independently troubleshoot processes based on experimental results

AdvR offers flexible schedules; subsidized medical, dental, and vision insurance; retirement contributions; and paid holidays and PTO.
