Job Summary:The Senior Process Engineer will support the development of a new silicon photonic product. They will drive the processes needed to deliver a Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) that meets our technology requirements and interface closely with the design and sub-assembly teams for co-optimization. They will drive the yield improvement processes through careful defect inspection and failure analysis with an emphasis on post fab processes and downstream sub-assembly.
Responsibilities:- Develop processes that meet semiconductor performance requirements.
- Interface with packaging & assembly teams representing the foundry team on wafer process flows.
- Optimize processes to enhance yield and improve stability and/or reliability.
- Drive failure analysis of PICs post dicing.
- Ability to drive development projects and manage vendor relationships.
- Use data analysis skills (Ex: JMP) to develop new process.
- Structured risk management and model-based problem-solving skills (FMEA, 8D, 5-why).
- Understanding and knowledge of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and/or Design of Experiments (DOE).
Experience/Qualifications:- Minimum 5 years of experience in semiconductor processing.
- Prior experience in process development, implementation, and transfer to a HVM.
- Experience with dicing, defect inspection, and post fab processing.
- Experience with metrology and material analysis.
- Proven experience executing cross-department complex projects.
- Experience in vendor relationship management.
- Experience with test structures for yield limiter determination and improvement.
- Strong critical thinking, creative, innovative, analytical, and detail-oriented problem-solving skills.
- Proven track record of impactful results.
- Self-motivated and resourceful.
- Demonstrated ability to juggle multiple priorities and deliver against a schedule.
- Demonstrated interest in quantum computing and silicon photonics.
- Ability to contribute in a fast-moving start-up environment.
