Metrology Engineer at Diamond Foundry Inc.

Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamond behind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably. We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.

We are looking for a dedicated and self-driven Metrology Engineer to help us make our world-leading diamond production technology even better. You'll be an integral part of an experienced team of mechanical, electrical, and materials engineers, and at the interface between R&D and production operations in our SSF facility. The position will involve hands-on work with commercial and custom characterization equipment, development of automation, standardization, and throughput optimization strategies, as well as conducting experiments.

Responsibilities

• Characterize novel and existing products, establish critical performance parameters, and provide feedback to production and R&D.
• Own existing instrumentation, drive the development of innovative metrology equipment and strategies from concept to manufacturing implementation, and support capability expansion.
• Develop metrology automation concepts to maximize throughput and optimize resource distribution.
• Effectively communicate results, recommend courses of action, and work across multidisciplinary teams from capability demonstration to production deployment.
• Partner with vendors to evaluate new metrology equipment and technologies, and upgrade existing tools.

Qualifications

• PhD with 1+ years, Master's with 2+ years, or Bachelor's with 4+ years in Physics, Materials Science, or Engineering from a top university.
• Strong understanding and application of optical spectroscopy principles (e.g., Raman, UV-vis, FTIR, Optical Absorption, Fluorescence) in an industrial manufacturing setting.
• Experience with carbon-based materials (comprehensive knowledge of carbon material crystal structure and electronic properties), failure analysis, and thermoconductivity is a plus.
• Expert in data collection, analysis, interpretation, experimental design (DOE), statistical process control (SPC), and measurement automation/scripting (e.g., LabVIEW, Python).
• Effective communication skills and the ability to thrive in a cross-functional development team.
