The most exciting start up I have ever come across!!

I am working with a start up company in MA that is quite literally the most exciting company I have ever had the pleasure of being engaged with... This company is truly going to revolutionize the industries of imaging (near term) and solar power (longer term.) They are a photonics materials company that is working on a technology that is a "brand new fundamental technology platform." Most start ups out there have a "tweak" of a current technology that promises to be "faster" or have a better "performance/power ratio." They are all competing in a fierce and fast moving industry. THIS company holds all of the patents for all of the uses of it's proprietary technology. They promise to be as revolutionary as Microsoft was in comparison to DOS. (For those of you who remember what DOS was!) In the next 10 months, I will have 20+ positions to fill but for right now, I am in need of very good people with experience in the areas of device physics and materials science.. Here is a quick description of the device physicist I am looking for:

Qualifications:
To perform this job successfully, the ideal candidate will have experience developing photonic semiconductor devices for commercial products and government programs. A working knowledge of advanced analytical techniques to model and predict electro-optic performance is required. Hands on design and test of imaging devices and design tools with good communication skills to present results and to transfer technology to internal and external teams is essential. Practical experience with materials science, heterojunctions, compound semiconductors, QWIPS, CCDs and CMOS imagers preferred.

Education or Experience: MSEE or MS Physics required (Ph.D. preferred) with over 6 years commercial design experience. Experience with electro-optic modeling tools (Silvaco, Supreme, Pisces) and device design tools required. Use of mathematical and statistical analysis tools preferred.

New position: Sr. Materials and Optics Engineer in MA.

Job Title: Sr. Engineer Materials and Optics
Department: Photonics
Reports To: R&D Director

Definition:
Work within a small research team to investigate and characterize properties of novel semiconductor optical materials. You will be designing, implementing, and analyzing experiments aimed at understanding fundamental material and optical device properties with a focus on photodetection.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Develop optical and electronic apparatus for test and analysis of device performance and characterization. Hands-on use of a wide range of laboratory equipment including; high-power lasers, vacuum equipment, and semiconductor processing equipment. Must have the ability to use critical analysis techniques to identify important experimental trends and set direction for further investigation. Utilize knowledge of solid-state device physics to help guide the group’s research and product directions. Communicate design and process improvements to production group.

Qualifications:
To perform this job successfully you must have extensive knowledge in optical engineering and optical or photonic materials. Working knowledge of material science and semiconductor processing techniques. Must be comfortable working hands-on with a wide range of optical, electronic, and semiconductor processing equipment. Requires high degree of independent problem solving, strong communication, presentation and teamwork skills. Proficiency with optical design and semiconductor modeling software, such as Silvaco, is desired. Limited travel to vendors and customers required.

Education or Experience:
Advanced degree in EE, Physics, or Material Science required with over 3 years industry experience. Demonstrated experience working with emerging technologies is a must. Direct experience with photometric measurement systems and short-pulsed lasers (nanosecond to femtosecond) is preferred. Familiarity with analytic software such as Mathematica or Matlab is a plus.
