Ability to work independently with minimal supervision during off-hours, prioritize across multiple parallel issues, and keep production moving against deadlines.
Must be U.S. Persons as defined by ITAR.
Direct experience with e-beam evaporation, ion-assisted deposition (IAD), and/or magnetron sputtering systems.
Experience operating coating equipment to defined recipes and interpreting in-process signals (optical and/or crystal monitoring).

associate degree or technical certificate in optics, photonics, materials science, vacuum technology, or electro-mechanical technology strongly preferred.
