About the Job

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.

Diamond Foundry was founded with the goal of reinventing the $100B diamond industry from “mine to finger” by setting a new standard for social and environmental good. The founding team of M.I.T., Stanford, and Princeton engineers previously developed pioneering breakthroughs in solar power technology – and had a hunch that techniques used to harness the energy of the sun could also be used to make a better diamond, atom by atom.
