• Effectively apply the latest thin film design techniques and materials
• Perform failure analysis to improve development methods
• Deliver on project communication and actively pursue contingency plans
• Effectively communicate the results to the Omniply technical staff
• Document the results in comprehensive technical reports
• Create and secure intellectual property for Omniply

Qualifications:

• Ph.D in material science, chemistry, chemical engineering, physics or related field or a Bachelor’s/MS degree with relevant experience is required
• 2+ years of industry experience in thin films with experience in developing new materials
• Extensive knowledge and experience in engineering surface properties in multilayer films
• Experience in calculation and modeling of stress and strain in multilayer films
• Understanding of OLED process development is a plus
• Knowledge of microelectronics fabrication processes and physical vapor deposition is a plus
• Familiarity with thin film metrology tools
• Ability to write technical documents
• Self-motivated and creative/innovative
• Data-driven with strong documentation and reporting skills
• Good analytical/modeling skills, ability to work under pressure
