Seurat’s proprietary Area Printing process, developed at Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL), allows metal components to be manufactured at price points and quality levels that compete directly with conventional manufacturing techniques, enabling the reshoring of supply chains and promoting the decarbonization of industry. Seurat has raised over $180M and is backed by leading venture partners like Capricorn, NVentures (NVIDIA), True Ventures, General Motors Ventures, Denso, Porsche SE, SIP global partners, Honda, Xerox Ventures/Myriad Venture Partners, Cubit Capital, Siemens Energy, and Maniv Mobility.
Position Overview
We are currently seeking a motivated, team-oriented, and resourceful Electro-Optics Intern to assist with the research, development, and manufacturing of Seurat’s revolutionary Optically Addressable Light Valve (OALV). This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of multiple technical fields including wide bandgap semiconductors, liquid crystals, laser-material interactions, thermal modeling, engineering and manufacturing and process development.
This role is ideal for a candidate who thrives in a fast-paced lab environment and possesses a deep understanding of semiconductor/liquid crystal device physics and characterization.
Key Responsibilities
You will serve as a bridge between high-level R&D science and day-to-day engineering execution:
- R&D & Characterization: Support technology development by performing measurements and analysis on semiconductor devices in a cleanroom or high-power laser environment; investigate device physics, inspection and defect characterization, and electrical characterization via impedance spectroscopy
- Modeling & Testing: Contribute to optical and thermal model development; develop image analysis tools, dynamic patterning analysis, and material validation.
- Engineering Operations: Update and maintain SolidWorks models and build configurations; assist in the setup of automated reporting
- Documentation & Quality: Build out Technical Data Packages (TDP) and Manufacturing Data Packages (MDP); perform failure reviews of damaged devices and author detailed reports to drive root-cause solutions.
Qualifications
Education: Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Optics, Materials Science, or related field.
Core Skills: Strong background in wide bandgap semiconductors, electro-optics, or liquid crystals.
- Hands-on experience working with lasers and optics, electro-optic component testing, evaluation, and data analysis
- Hands-on experience with electrical characterization (Impedance Analyzers, IV Curve Tracers).
- Experience with optical microscopy and thin-film characterization.
Preferred Experience:
- Proficiency in signal generation and measurement (time and frequency domain)
- Electrical circuit modeling
- Familiarity with optical materials and coatings as well as their manufacturing techniques
- Machine shop interaction, technical assembly, electronic device packaging
- Excel, LabVIEW, MATLAB, ACAD, Mentor Graphics
- Semiconductor research and development in power electronics
- Cleanroom operation & contamination control
- Highly organized with attention to detail
- Effective communication, both verbal and written.Must be able to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams
