Job Description

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, physics or equivalent
• 8 years of experience designing optical components based on physical principles and/or processes.
• 5 years of experience in MATLAB, Python, or similar scripting language.
  
  

Preferred qualifications:

• PhD, postdoc or research experience in a national lab type environment with large scale physical simulations.
• Extensive experience with creating and working with a closed loop measurement - modeling loop for high precision components and/or high volume production.
• Proficient in more than one programming/scripting language (e.g., MATLAB) and the ability to quickly assimilate the Python scientific stack (NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, pandas).
• Thorough understanding of semiconductor fabrication processes, diffractive optics, waveguide theory, simulation tools, and display specifications
  
  

About The Job

In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to explore, build, and validate optical components for mass production.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Explore the waveguide design and trade-off space for various fabrication processes and materials
• Deliver validated waveguide building blocks with the ultimate goal of moving blocks to mass production
• Along with the simulation team create, test and validate new merit functions and optimization techniques for multi channel diffractive design
• Work closely with metrology teams to develop test plans for validating waveguide building blocks and waveguide system performance
