R&D Engineer, Optical Coating & Imprint

At Moveon Technologies, we're not just solving today's challenges, we're building the technologies of tomorrow. From micro-optics, nano-technologies to advanced manufacturing and engineering, you'll get the chance to work on exciting, real-world projects that push boundaries and make an impact.

As part of our growing team, you will work alongside experienced engineers and researchers, gain hands-on experience with cutting edge technologies and turn innovative ideas into reality, from concept development and prototyping to high-volume production.

R&D Engineer, Optical Coating & Imprint

We are looking for a hands-on R&D Engineer with experience in optical coating and imprint/pattern replication technologies to support new product and process development. The engineer will be responsible for developing, optimizing, testing and transferring coating and imprint processes from laboratory prototypes toward production.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize coating and imprint/pattern replication processes for new products.
• Conduct experiments, DOE, process optimization and feasibility studies.
• Evaluate coating materials, resins, substrates, surface treatments and curing conditions.
• Develop and troubleshoot micro/nano-pattern imprinting processes, including filling, curing and demoulding.
• Characterize and analyse coating/pattern quality, defects, adhesion, thickness, optical and mechanical properties.
• Identify root causes of process and material problems and implement corrective actions.
• Work closely with design, mechanical, materials, manufacturing and external suppliers.
• Document experimental results, process conditions, specifications and technical reports.
• Support prototype development, process validation, scale-up and manufacturing transfer.

Requirements

• Bachelor's in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Polymer Science, Manufacturing Engineering or a related field.
• 2–5 years of hands-on R&D or process development experience in optical coating, imprinting, lithography, thin films, surface treatment or related technologies.
• Practical experience with optical coating processes and/or micro/nano imprinting/pattern replication.
• Good understanding of materials, surface properties, curing, adhesion and process parameters.
• Strong problem-solving and experimental skills, including DOE and root-cause analysis.
