  Staff Engineer

  Tested, designed, and analyzed liquid crystal beam-steering metasurface devices. Designed and performed optical and stress tests to improve and qualify the world's first commercial active metasurface product. Analyzed electrical and optical device performance to screen delivery parts, determine failure modes, and design device improvements. Trained and automated a ML algorithm for detecting wafer and die level defects from stitched optical microscope images taken from a custom IR microscope that I helped design. Performed SEM, EDX, and progressive FIB imaging in-house. Aligned and coordinated maintenance of the Apreo dual-beam. Moved, set-up, and requalified many sensitive optical tabletop experiments. Trained new employees in standard operating procedures. Show less
