Sensing & Calibration Architect

Job Description

• Senior technical specialist owning the architecture and leading the work across sensing and calibration

• Deeptech semiconductor metrology scaleup bringing 10+ years of foundational research to market

• Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Hybrid (at least 3 days in office)

Invisix is building short wavelength metrology to keep Moore's Law moving. As transistors shrink and stacks become 3D, visible light can no longer resolve what's inside the most advanced devices.

At Invisix, the hardware acquires the calibration measurements and the algorithms turn them into the parameters that calibrate the tool. The Sensing & Calibration Architect owns getting these to work as one system. This is a hands-on technical specialist role: you will set the architecture across sensing and calibration, run the technical work across both teams, and partner with architects and project leaders across software and hardware. Reports into the Project Leader, Software & Algorithms.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical architecture across sensing and calibration, bridging optical hardware and the algorithms that interpret the metrology signals

• Own the interface and requirements between calibration algorithms and inference algorithms

• Develop and continually improve the calibration methods that feed the reconstruction algorithms, closing the gap between achievable instrument accuracy and Invisix' metrology requirements, and addressing drift and inaccuracies in the sensing chain

• Ensure calibration methods are properly embedded into the wider on-tool software framework

• Provide technical leadership across the sensing and calibration teams, setting direction and unblocking the teams on architectural questions

• Maintain a system-level view, summarising team activity and representing the discipline at interface points across the organisation

Benefits

• Employee Share Ownership Plan

• Learning and development budget to support your professional growth

• Flexible working arrangements

• Set the technical direction for sensing and calibration at a company bringing 10+ years of foundational research to market

• The opportunity to grow with Invisix as the company scales

About You

• PhD in physics, photonics or a closely related discipline

• Profile could be algorithm-oriented with hands-on optical hardware experience, or experimentalist with a strong background in algorithms and signal processing

• Strong background in the modelling and simulation of optical systems, including optical beam propagation and Fourier optics

• Substantial experience in the data analysis of optical measurements

• Hands-on familiarity with the hardware used to acquire optical signals, particularly spectrometers, detectors and gratings

• Experience leading or guiding the technical work of others is preferred
