Job description

The person in this role will be a technology development and manufacturing team member working on planning, developing foundry process technology, manufacturing and characterization for next-generation Lightmatter products. The team will be creating product-specific silicon manufacturing process flow plan, working with supplier and internal core competency team such as package design team, silicon design teams on qualifying technology nodes, characterizing manufacturing processes and monitoring plan for Lightmatter products from product definition through qualification and high-volume manufacturing. It also involves engaging with design and platform engineering teams in addition to the supply chain organization to influence the definition of the product and to leverage the capabilities of the ecosystem from a manufacturing process perspective.

Responsibilities

  • Lead foundry process technology development, manufacturing strategies and specifications efforts for our highly integrated photonics-based AI platform and our photonics chiplet communication fabric
  • Establish silicon fabrication process coverage metrics and establish yield expectations and monitoring mechanisms
  • Provide manufacturing process solutions for integrated digital/analog/photonic/laser devices
  • Work closely with Foundry suppliers to ensure manufacturing output specifications are being met
  • Collaborate with the Design-For-Manufacturing (DFM) team early in the design process
  • Develop silicon technology and capability roadmap to support Lightmatter product requirement. 
  • Develop initial product fabrication qualification and execution plan
  • Establish metrics and methodology to characterize and ensure reliable product operation at customer sites over the expected product lifetime
  • Collaborate with design and /layout team to coordinate product tapeout to foundry.

Qualifications 

  • Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Engineering/Science, Mechanical Engineering or other related fields
  • At least 8 years of industry experience with at least 5 years of silicon process experience
  • Experience bringing products from first silicon to production
  • Strong knowledge of working and collaborating with a foundry 
  • Experience with Silicon foundry processes, technologies, control plan and failures related to Silicon. 
  • Exposure to packaging technology with understanding of assembly processes, packaging materials, quality and reliability standards, and packaging failure mechanism etc is preferred

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in foundry manufacturing process or process development/integration engineer in any fab foundries
  • Experience in photonics laser foundry and package integration
  • Master's or Phd in chemistry, materials sciences or physics.
