Job description

Photonic chips, or PICs, will revolutionize the application of photonics in areas such as artificial intelligence, healthcare, communication, quantum and sensing. Integrated photonics has the potential to be a disruptive response to solving big societal challenges of today and tomorrow. The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), together with University of Twente, TNO and Photon Delta has founded the Photonic Integration Technology Center (PITC), a center of excellence that underpins the ambition to strengthen the emerging integrated photonics technologies and ecosystem around those.

Dense photonic integration technologies at the photonic integration (PhI) group at TU/e enable implementation and comprehensive sensing systems in a small and lightweight form factor. Highly parallel, multichannel circuitry comprising optical sources, coherent detectors, polarization diversity, and optical beam forming can be realized in the form of a few square millimeter photonic integrated circuits (PIC). Such PICs can be intimately integrated with electronics and be implemented in the form of a contactless, optical probe for a sub-micron profilometry that can be incorporated into metrology systems for the manufacturing of semiconductors. Investigation and implementation of the integrated coherent profilometry for a large area high-resolution and high-thruput imaging and topography mapping tools for in-line fabrication process monitoring. High throughput methods for large-area, high-resolution three-dimensional mapping. Including feature recognition, the device under test and probe handling, and positioning strategies e.g. step, scan, or scan and step. Measurement data acquisition and processing for real-time monitoring. Pathways for integration into wafer level test, and in-line inspection tools.

Academic and Industrial Environment
The PITC works tightly together with universities as well as industry and bridges the gap by performing applied research and development activities. Our work is characterized by the combination of academic excellence and industry relevance, providing a strong real-world impact.

The Metrology Program
Metrology is one of the PITC’s main technical program lines with an objective to overcome one of the major challenges related to manufacturing of integrated photonics products. Key to manufacturing PICs in high volume is the development of scalable, reliable, and highthroughput test processes and systems. As a part of this program TU/e-PhI is involved in an exploratory track to feature the next generation photonic integration technologies in the metrology systems for the semiconductor production tools.

About you
You have a passion for integrated photonics, want to bring the metrology solutions to a higher level and want to change the world with these new technologies. You want to work in an enthusiastic team where you can truly make a difference. Working at the boundary of academic research and industrial application excites you.

What we are looking for
We are looking for a postdoc candidates to fill this position, with a strong drive for creating breakthrough solutions for the next generation products and applications for integrated photonics.

Job requirements

PhD, or Master’s degree in applied physics or electrical engineering, or in an equivalent field with a strong background in photonics, programming, and process automation. Experience in semiconductor test and manufacturing, or in a photonic laboratory is an advantage, and a must in case of MSc. degree Adept at prioritizing problems, meeting deadlines and analyzing and resolving issues. Fluent in English.

Location: TU/e Campus, Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

Conditions of employment

A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

Full-time employment for 2 years. Salary in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale 10 (min. €4,020 max. €5,278). A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%. High-quality training programs on general skills, didactics and topics related to research and valorization. An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities. Partially paid parental leave and an allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs. A TU/e Postdoc Association that helps you to build a stronger and broader academic and personal network, and offers tailored support, training and workshops. A Staff Immigration Team is available for international candidates, as are a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) and a compensation for moving expenses.
