Your Assignment

* Take on research, modeling and simulation of the physical process of lithography.
* Develop and optimize C/C++ codes and algorithm for computational lithography modeling.
* Write unit tests for algorithms and modules.
* Develop machine-learning based models and solutions for image processing, image recognition.
* Evaluate pro and cons among solutions and suggest the best solutions to fulfill the requirements.
* Keep good documentation of design and implementations.

Education and experience

· Ph.D. or M.S. in STEM, such as computer science, electric engineering, physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, or related fields.
· Proven work experience in previous research/engineering projects.
· 3+ year experience in C++ and/or other object-oriented software development.
· Python/Matlab programming experience (especially in machine learning) is a plus.

Required Skills

· Analytical skills for evaluating information carefully and solving complex problems
· Communication skills for technical discussions
· Detail-oriented with the ability to catch minor errors which can result in major problems
· Math skills, including calculus and other advanced mathematics
· Experience in the following fields: image processing, computational geometry, large data application, high performance computing
