• You are invited to bring your passion, knowledge and expertise in areas of applied physics, plasmas, metrology, optics, controls, lasers, and experimental design to push the boundaries of these technologies forward
• A key ingredient in the EUV generation process is a stable source of molten tin droplets
• These droplets provide the fuel for the laser-produced plasma and serve as the heartbeat for synchronizing the EUV source
• The challenge is to reliably produce nearly perfect droplets of molten tin at a rate of tens of thousands of times per second with speeds of dozens of meters per second and position stability within a fraction of a droplet diameter
• The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in this diverse mix of physics, engineering, and materials science in order to define the droplet generator architecture for the next generation EUV source
• Identification of key scientific learning objectives and corresponding experimental design which will further the technological progress of the EUV generation process
• Demonstration of system-wide performance targets to meet the future technology roadmap
• Develop and execute system and subsystem performance tests, analyze test results and extract actionable knowledge from sub-module to full-system levels
• Troubleshoot issues with tin delivery sub systems, ultra-high vacuum systems, and optical modules on our test benches in order to improve our understanding of the fundamentals of droplet generation
• Document learning and communicate knowledge to engineering and product development teams to guide product improvement and release of new product nodes
• Work independently and in teams to deliver on a stated objective, whether it be the pursuit of new knowledge, the demonstration of a new capability, or the characterization of existing performance
• Performs other duties as assigned or required
• Deep understanding of scientific methods that guides in designing and executing research experiments with limited oversight is highly desired

• The employee is occasionally required to move around the campus
• The employee may occasionally lift and/or move up to 20 pounds

• The successful candidate will also have a passion for innovation, be driven by curiosity, and have deep technical understanding, all essential to excel in a Research environment operating at the fuzzy front end of product development
• A strong experimental mindset is needed to measure complex phenomena and decipher the relevant physics, enabling our team to predictably control tin droplet behavior
• Experience with experimental data collection and analysis, as well as development of data analysis tools
• Familiarity with
• The successful candidate will not only have excelled in their technical field, but will have demonstrated inter-personal and communications strengths
• Ability to clearly and logically communicate ideas and knowledge to various audiences
• Demonstrated ability to manage and lead a research project involving multiple stakeholders and constraints
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively as a part of a team and lead investigation and research efforts
• May require travel dependent on business needs
