Introduction to the job
The metrology architect will be responsible for the development of the subsystems that measure, control, or support the production of EUV light in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source for next generation photolithography tools. These metrology systems use a variety of optical measurement techniques to accomplish their function. The architect will be responsible for creating specifications for the metrology performance, defining architectures that meet those specifications and analyzing the solutions to predict performance. The architect will own the roadmap for metrology development and improvement. Engineering tasks will include design, development, testing, troubleshooting, digital signal analysis and image processing and productization of the metrology. In addition, the architect will provide technical leadership to the project.
