We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Process Integration Engineer to join our Photonics Platform Business Group with a focus on the area of optical interconnect and co-packaged optics. As a Process Integration Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and optimizing process flows of optical and photonics devices as owner. You are expected to be highly detail-oriented and good at risk identification and mitigation. You will also be the first respondent of the device test and characterizations to drive flow iterations to improve the performance, yield, and reliability. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including design, process, and equipment engineers, to drive continuous improvement and ensure seamless integration of processes throughout the development and manufacturing lifecycle. Key Responsibilities: Owns, manage, and drive technical programs/ project, report out timely status and interface with various stakeholders/management leading to completion. Develop, optimize, and own process flows, ensuring the highest level of product performance, yield, and reliability. Collaborate with design, process, and equipment engineers to define and implement process integration strategies and methodologies. May work with external customers/partners as well. Process and manage wafers/ lots through integrated lines/ process flow and collect metrology data to ensure meeting requirements such as yield, reliability. Collect on-wafer data, perform data analysis, and provide outcome, learnings and plan for the next process steps. Develop and maintain process integration documentation, including process flows, specifications, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Stay updated with the latest advancements and industry trends in process integration and apply knowledge to improve processes and drive innovation. Basic Qualifications: Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field. A Ph.D. in a relevant field is preferred. 4-7 years of work or research experience in semiconductor processing. Proven experience in process integration, preferably R&D within a high-volume manufacturing environment. Deep knowledge of semiconductor module processes used in FEOL and BEOL, including lithography, etch, deposition, electroplating, CMP, wet clean, and inline and failure analysis metrology. Proficient in statistical data analysis and process optimization and control techniques (e.g., Design of Experiments, SPC, JMP). Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. Detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously. Preferred Qualifications: Experience of working with layout files (industry-standard such as GDS and OASIS) and familiarity of from layout design to photomask tape-out procedure is a plus. Knowledge of semiconductor optics principles or Si photonics components and systems is a plus. Knowledge of wafer-level packaging (e.g. through silicon via, hybrid bonding, wafer bonding and thinning) is a plus. Joining our team as a Process Integration Engineer presents an exciting opportunity to work in a dynamic and innovative R&D environment. You will play a crucial role in developing and optimization novel process flows and contributing to the success of our organization.
