Job Responsibilities:
- Work with the platform development team to explore, define, and converge next-generation fabrication processes for higher performance TFLN PIC devices.
- Work with the manufacturing team to fabricate designed chips.
- Improve quality and repeatability of standard fabrication processes and implement fabrication protocols to guarantee quality.
- Analyze process performance data to identify trends, troubleshoot issues, and implement corrective actions.
- Conduct root cause analysis and implement solutions for process-related defects or deviations.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Design, Test Engineering, and Production, to drive process optimization initiatives.
- Prepare and maintain documentation, including process specifications, standard operating procedures, and reports.
- Support the transfer and qualification of new products or processes into the manufacturing environment.
Job Requirements:
- PhD degrees in electrical engineering, applied physics, physics or a related discipline with 2 to 5+ years of experience in integrated photonics, semiconductor or microelectronics manufacturing, with a focus on fabrication processes.
- Expertise with TFLN nanofabrication techniques.
- Expertise with semiconductor nanofabrication processing techniques (lithography, etching, metallization, etc) and familiarity with the associated tools.
- Proven ability to characterize devices, analyze and interpret results (SEM, AFM, profilometer, etc).
- Track records with developing and optimizing new nanofabrication processes.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to analyze complex data sets.
- Deep knowledge of electromagnetic theory, quantum theory, and related principles
- Experience with RF/high-speed electronics is a plus
