Optical Fabrication Technicians: CWW Front End

Introduction to the role

You will fabricate some of the world's most advanced optical components used in the most advanced semiconductor photolithography machines. Through your attention to detail, results orientation, and commitment to task, you will produce high precision quality optics per production schedule. You will maintain the safety and workplace organization of your processing area. You will value adherence to standards while applying your experience and perspective to contribute to continuous improvement in our processing methods.

You will enjoy success generated through your individual desire to learn and through teamwork with your colleagues.

We are looking for individuals like you to work in one of our processing competencies. These include: machining glass materials into final configuration using CNC milling equipment; grinding and polishing surfaces of optical components to rigorous dimensional and surface quality specifications; loading material into and operating deposition chambers to coat optics; precisely align and assemble glass parts with a high degree of accuracy in order to produce high quality optical assemblies;

measuring optical characteristics of components using advanced metrology equipment for in process material processing feedback and final quality inspection.
