Job Description
Primary Duties & Responsibilities
• Drive new product and new process development to ensure timely and successful delivery of qualified products.
• Oversee day-to-day progress of matrix lots to keep development activities on track.
• Manage part numbers and BOM to ensure proper setup for new product introduction.
• Support the NPI team in establishing mask sets, process flows, and workflows for both front-end (wafer fabrication) and back-end (die assembly and characterization) processes.
• Assist in failure analysis by investigating issues found during wafer fabrication and product characterization and take the lead in analyzing root causes.
• Coordinate production ramp-up readiness by working closely with cross-functional teams-including EPI, process, assembly, test, and product engineering-to ensure readiness in areas such as chip design/specs, equipment, process documentation, and data infrastructure.
• Collaborate with the product engineering team to improve yield, especially in addressing characterization issues that span multiple process areas.
• Design and execute experiments related to design, process, and testing to identify and implement corrective actions for failure modes encountered during new product development.
Education & Experience
• 3 years of experience in III-V semiconductor laser related device design, process
development and characterization is required.
• PhD degree in electrical engineering, material science, physics, or other relevant
major.
Skills
• Hands-on experience with design, process and characterization of optoelectronic device such as VCSEL, DFB laser, or photonic integrated chip.
• Strong statistical data analysis skills (JMP or Minitab etc.).
• Familiarity with semiconductor wafer fab operations (Manufacturing Execution System, process and quality control, change management etc.).
• Experience with optoelectronic device reliability testing and modeling is a plus.
• Strong communication skills; adept at hosting effective meetings and facilitating actions and resolving conflicts.
• Strong ability to drive actions and solutions through cross-functional teams.
• Collaborate in a professional and respectful manner with coworkers, vendors, contractors, etc.
Working Conditions
• Will be exposed to areas where hand tools and power tools are being operated
• Will be exposed to areas where hazardous chemicals or gases are stored
• Ability to work in a cleanroom environment per semi-conductor protocol/requirements
Physical Requirements
• Work in a class 100/1000 clean room for extended periods
• Wear full cleanroom attire (smock, mask, etc.)
• Work with and/or around chemicals (such as solids and acids)
• Stand for up to 4 hours at a time
• Lift up to 16-30 Pounds
• Push/Pull up to 16-30 pounds
