Process Integration Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Process Integration Engineer to join our Photonics Platform Business Group. In this role, you will enable the transition of advanced optical device technologies from R&D into scalable manufacturing. You will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to define, develop, and optimize process flows for cutting-edge semiconductor and photonics devices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive end-to-end process integration for advanced semiconductor device fabrication.

• Define and optimize process flows to achieve performance, yield, and reliability targets.

• Collaborate with module owners (lithography, etch, deposition, metrology, etc.) to align process development with integration requirements.

• Conduct design-of-experiments (DOE) to identify process sensitivities and improve manufacturability.

• Analyze optical test data to provide feedback for process tuning and device improvement.

• Collaborate with design, process, and operations teams to ensure smooth technology transfer into volume manufacturing.

• Troubleshoot integration issues and drive root-cause analysis for process-related failures.

• Support technology roadmaps by contributing to process integration strategy and scalability.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and implement process integration methodologies and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Stay updated with the latest advancements and industry trends in process integration to drive innovation.

• Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineers and technicians, fostering a collaborative and knowledge-sharing work environment.

Qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field. A Ph.D. in a relevant field is preferred.

• Work experience of at least 5 years. Proven experience ( 3 years) in process integration, preferably R&D within a high-volume manufacturing environment.

• Strong understanding of nanotechnology processes, including lithography, etch, deposition, CMP and metrology.

• Proficient in statistical data analysis and process optimization and control techniques (e.g., Design of Experiments, SPC, JMP).

• Ability to read and understand layout files (industry-standard such as GDS and OASIS) and familiarity optical proximity correction (OPC) methodologies is a plus.

• Knowledge of optics principles and photonic components and systems is desirable.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

• Detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.

• Knowledge of industry standards and best practices in semiconductor manufacturing, such as ISO, SEMI, and ITAR regulations, and Project management skills are a plus.
