What is lithography?

A Lithography job involves working with photolithography processes used in semiconductor manufacturing to pattern and transfer circuit designs onto silicon wafers. This role includes operating lithography equipment, troubleshooting process issues, and ensuring precise alignment and resolution of patterns. Lithography engineers or technicians collaborate with other semiconductor professionals to optimize process performance and improve yield. They often work in cleanroom environments and use advanced optical or EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography technologies to create smaller, more efficient chips.

What does a lithography professional do?

Daily responsibilities for a lithography professional typically include setting up and maintaining printing presses, preparing plates and materials, monitoring print runs for quality control, and troubleshooting any process issues. You may also be responsible for routine equipment maintenance, adjusting ink levels, and ensuring adherence to safety and production standards. Collaboration often occurs with prepress technicians, quality assurance teams, and supervisors to ensure that projects meet deadlines and client specifications. This role is hands-on and detail-oriented, making strong organizational skills valuable for success.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in lithography?

To thrive in lithography, you need strong attention to detail, mechanical aptitude, and a solid understanding of printing processes, typically supported by technical training or experience in manufacturing or print production. Familiarity with lithography equipment, process control tools, and safety procedures is essential, and certifications in print technology can be advantageous. Good problem-solving, time management, and teamwork are important soft skills for this role. These strengths ensure high-quality output, efficient operation, and safe handling of sophisticated machinery in a fast-paced printing environment.

How much do lithography engineers make?

Lithography engineers typically earn a median annual salary ranging from $70,000 to $120,000, depending on experience, education, and location. Senior roles or those with specialized skills in photolithography and equipment operation can earn higher salaries, often exceeding $150,000 annually.

Job description

Position Summary:
The Lithography Technician will play a key role in operating, developing, and maintaining novel lithography systems to enable Irradiant's 3D nanofabrication platform. This role requires expertise in microscope operation, materials processing, and analysis, along with a hands-on approach to problem-solving. The ideal candidate will collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and product teams to drive lithographic tooling to generate prototype and production volumetric prints, support experimental measurements to collect scientific insights and improve lithographic processes into scalable, manufacturable solutions.
This is a hands-on, mentorship-oriented role for an early-mid career technician eager to learn quickly, take direction, and take on more ownership over time in a fast-paced deep-tech environment.
What You'll Do:
  • Support the maintenance, operation & optimization of the entire lithography printing workflow.
  • Develop, document, and implement standard operating procedures (SOPs), protocols and best practices.
  • Assist with continuous troubleshooting & maintenance of lithography systems to ensure system stability and reliability.
  • Operate multiple lithographic systems with differing functionality and technical capabilities.
  • Collaborate with optics, metrology, and software/hardware engineers to develop, verify and implement new lithography system features.
  • Support the scale-up of experimental printing into high-volume manufacturing.
  • Monitor lithography print output for consistency and quality.
What You'll Bring:
  • Hands-on experience in a laboratory setting, working with materials preparation and characterization.
  • Process-oriented, with a methodical and documentation-first approach to your work.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow work instructions and written experimental protocols.
  • Experience with sensitive materials handling.
  • Experience with data analysis and documentation of experimental results.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced research and development environment.
  • Familiarity with common materials characterization techniques (e.g. profilometry, ellipsometry, spectroscopy, optical and electron microscopy).
  • Previous experience in a high-tech manufacturing/production environment would be advantageous.
  • Proven experience or research into lithographic printing techniques would be advantageous.
  • Desirable; hands-on lithography skills, programming (Python, MATLAB), laser experience.
Compensation & Benefits:
The salary range for this role is $85,000 - $95,000, and we are committed to equitable compensation across the company. Total compensation includes equity in the form of stock options. We administer benefits through Thatch, providing an annual company-funded allowance that gives employees the flexibility to choose the health plans and coverage that best fit their needs. We also offer a standard four-week vacation policy and encourage folks to take regular, meaningful PTO.
About Irradiant Technologies:
Irradiant Technologies is a nano-optics and photonics foundry building unique 3D nanofabricated components, traditionally difficult or impossible to manufacture. Using two-photon polymerization additive manufacturing, we create micro-optics and passive optical interconnects that change how light is used to sense, communicate, image, display, and compute across defense and commercial markets. With our ongoing Series A fund raise, we are scaling from R&D to production and expanding our engineering team to deliver robust, integrated photonic systems.
Equal Employment Opportunity
Irradiant Technologies is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team free from discrimination and harassment, and we encourage candidates of any race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran, or disability status to apply.
