Photolithography​/Thin Film Coating Manufacturing Engineer​/Entry-Level

Overview

You will be the Photolithography/Thin Film Coating Manufacturing Engineer for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, working in the Optical Components Center (OCC) in Orlando, FL. Our team is responsible for designing, developing, and supporting the production life-cycle of electromagnetic grids and thin film coatings for various optical systems, and we are looking for a talented Manufacturing Engineer to join our team.

This position is on first shift, Tuesday to Friday (4/10B).

As the Photolithography/Thin Film Coating Manufacturing Engineer, you will be responsible for supporting manufacturing processes of optics, with an emphasis on photolithography and/or thin film coatings. You will design and develop optical coatings to be deposited on lenses and windows, and define the parameters of equipment for the processes. You will also perform characterization of the deposited coatings and analyze data, and provide technical guidance to operators.

Breadth in skills across multiple manufacturing engineering disciplines is strongly desired. Examples include: writing/reviewing work instructions or SOPs, data analytics, automation, mechanical design of equipment or supporting tools, maintaining the product lifecycle, and working in a clean room environment. Specific experience in thin film coating and photolithography is preferred.

Candidates with thin film coating specialization will have skills in design, manufacturing (physical vapor deposition, ion beam sputtering, chemical vapor deposition), and metrology of optical thin film coatings.

Candidates with photolithography specialization will have skills with semiconductor fabrication processes (wafer preparation, coating, exposure, development, and etching) and with photolithography equipment (steppers, scanners, and track systems). Knowledge of process control techniques, including statistical process control (SPC), control charts, and yield enhancement, is desirable. Strong time management, independent work ability, and effective cross-functional communication are critical on-the-floor skills.
