Photonics Integration Senior/Research Engineer (APM), (NSTIC), IME

Job responsibilities

• Develop and innovate critical photonics/flat optics modules. Drive multi-functional teams to optimize existing process flows and develop new innovative integration solutions to meet potential product requirements and manufacturability.
• Develop or redefine critical criteria/aspects for optimal design performances and process capability.  Initiate DOE (Design of Experiments) evaluations to characterize process window for new design/product requirements
• Pro-active in evaluating and implementing new integration schemes. Establish proof of concept for future tech roadmap.
• Take on an active attitude to summarize complex problems, explain actions taken to address them with clarity, and align with unit process, design and fabrication teams.
• Extract and analyse inline, GDS layout, parametric, reliability, and other critical metrics to construct predictive modelling on the photonics/flat optics device performance and specification.
• Coordinate activities with multi-functional teams to ensure timely wafers handling to meet deadline requirements.
• Require certain amount of working time in research fab/cleanroom environment for experiment and data collection.
• Act as subject matter expert for both internal and external stakeholders.   Potential opportunities to work on customer product delivery.

Job requirements:

• Degree/Master in Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics, or equivalent.
• Experiences (2-3 years) in semiconductor industry, preferably in silicon or photonics process integration.
• MS/PhD candidates with strong hand-on knowledge of semiconductor unit process (etch, litho, deposition) and photonics device physics engineering could be considered too
• Good critical thinking and problem-solving ability.
• Able to work in clean room environment.
• Able to work with cross-functional team, with good communication/presentation skill.
• Able to work in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.
