We are currently focused on key enabling materials for OLED displays that will be used in next-generation consumer electronics and automotive. Our advanced electrode materials, and associated manufacturing technology, are being used to build transparent displays and lighting. We work closely with our partners and customers to design new materials that are mass-production ready. Using our computational Materials Discovery Platform, we are able to rapidly iterate new materials, allowing fast turn around time to meet our customers’ needs.\nWorkplace Type\nOn-Site\nPrimary Responsibilities\nDesign experiments including but not limited to OLED device performance and material characteristic tests \nPerform literature review on research projects\nAnalyze and present experimental data to summarize key project findings or identify new objectives for the subsequent experiments\nCollaborate with software engineers by providing feedback on potential improvements that can be made to programs and software developed by OTI Lumionics\nTroubleshoot and work with Facility Engineers to fix, modify, and set up new equipment\nOperate R&D equipment\nWrite reports and analyzing data\nMaintain the laboratory and equipment in a functional state to provide necessary services\nAssist team on various ongoing projects\nGenerate assembly and test documentation\nPerform all tasks in accordance with established Safe Work Practices and Standard, Operating Procedures\nAdhere to health and safety protocols, report hazards, and contribute to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for all employees\nOther ad hoc duties as assigned\nProfile\nPhD in Physics/Electrical Engineering/Materials Science & Engineering\n< 3 years of Postdoc experience\nRequired Skills\nProven track record (4+ years) in characterization and development of advanced semiconductor devices, including but not limited to LEDs, OLEDs, Organic / Perovskite solar cells\nHand-on experience of thin-film engineering and chemical / physical vapor deposition\nIn-depth understanding of vacuum systems\nProject management, independent and critical thinking, milestone driven project execution\nUnderstanding of processing engineering (i.e., design-of-experiment, root-cause analysis, process optimization)\nAbility to process and analyze data, and identify trends and relationships between different parameters\nEffective communication skills (both oral and written)\nExtended hours and shift work may be required from time to time","description_format":"text","description_chars":2622,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Manufacturing","Advanced Materials","Quantum Science & Computing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T19:14:23Z"}],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.181,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":162,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:7","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-24T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":77981,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/otilumionics-research-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/otilumionics-research-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T21:08:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
