Silicon Photonics Packaging Engineer - San Francisco, CA 94110 (Hybrid)
Women Impact Tech, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Overview
We are seeking a
Silicon Photonics Packaging Engineer
to join our cutting-edge hardware engineering team. In this role, you will design and develop microelectronic assembly processes for
automotive-grade receiver and transmitter modules , enabling the next generation of high-performance LiDAR and photonic systems. This is a unique opportunity to work on
complex IC packaging, system integration, and process development , collaborating with world-class teams and external manufacturing partners to bring innovative products into mass production. Key Responsibilities
Design and optimize microelectronic assembly processes from wafer fab to package integration Define specifications for
custom IC package designs and chip carriers , working with external partners to deliver production-ready solutions Execute
process optimization, design validation, failure analysis, and sample builds
for package development and automotive qualification Lead yield analysis and drive improvements/corrective actions for silicon process and assembly reliability Collaborate with global vendors to develop new packaging processes, prototypes, and tooling Manage vendor sourcing, vetting, quoting, and low-volume procurement for diverse components (substrates, epoxies, coated glass, PCBAs, tooling) Drive
mass production readiness , collaborating across engineering and operations teams Basic Qualifications
5+ years in
Semiconductor Package/Process Development , or 2+ years with a Master’s degree Experience with
multi-layer ceramic, CMOS image sensor, BGA packages, and organic substrates Hands-on experience with wafer-level processing (thin-film deposition, RIE silicon processing, wafer bonding, spin coat/lift-off, wafer dice/test) Proficiency in automated microelectronic and photonic assembly (wafer inspection, die attach, wire bonding, vision inspection, underfill/encapsulation) Working knowledge of
Failure Analysis tools
(X-ray, 3D interferometry, SEM, cross-sectioning, destructive testing, etc.) Strong understanding of
semiconductor packaging for high-reliability environments Bonus Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s in
Electrical or Mechanical Engineering Experience with
optical systems or CMOS image sensor architecture Exposure to
ATE package test environments Familiarity with
statistical analysis methods
for production processes Note: Candidate must be within 15 minutes commute to 94110 zip code or open to relocate to the city.
