Primary Duties & Responsibilities

Improve and maintain the manufacturing processes used to make semiconductor chips and optical (photonics) components. The goal is to make sure products are made accurately, consistently, and at the lowest reasonable cost. Identify problems in production, figure out what's causing them, and fix them so fewer defects occur and overall product quality improves. Help move new technologies from research and development into full-scale production. Work closely with teams such as design, quality, equipment, and supply chain to solve manufacturing issues and support the launch of new products. Make sure proper procedures and documentation are in place and that manufacturing follows quality and ISO standards. Use specialized manufacturing machines, laser and optical equipment, inspection and measurement tools, and data analysis software to monitor performance and improve processes. Work with internal production systems to track manufacturing activity and ensure everything runs smoothly and reliably.
