Tasks
About the Job
We are entering a breakthrough phase in high-speed modulation. By integrating electro-optic materials like thin-film lithium niobate onto our SiN platform, we’ve achieved record-breaking results. As our new Process Engineer, you will be the bridge between R&D innovation and production-ready reality. You will:
Innovate: Lead the development of processes for active material integration on our proprietary SiN platform.
Execute: Own the Design of Experiments (DoE) within world-class clean-room facilities.
Scale: Transform prototype fabrication runs into stabilized, high-maturity manufacturing processes.
Analyze: Use statistical data and physical model fitting to correlate optical and electrical device properties.
Requirements
What You Know
You are a specialist who thrives in the microscopic world, blending a deep understanding of physics with the precision of semiconductor manufacturing.
Education: A technical degree (MSc or PhD) in Electrical, Chemical, Physical, or Nano Engineering.
Clean Room Mastery: Several years of hands-on experience with Lithography, Dry Etching, PVD, or CVD.
Bonding Expertise: Strong, proven experience in wafer or die bonding technologies, this is critical for our active integration goals.
Data Driven: In-depth knowledge of manufacturing processes with the ability to define and execute complex DoEs and statistical data analysis.
Maturity Mindset: Experience in increasing process maturity (moving from R&D to Pilot Line/Production) is a significan
