Job Description
Silicon Photonics Process Development EngineerSalary Range: $120k to $160kPosition Summary
We are seeking a Silicon Photonics Process Development Engineer to develop advanced semiconductor process modules and manufacturing capabilities supporting next-generation silicon photonics technologies. This role will lead process development from research and development through prototype builds and initial production while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams, manufacturing partners, and technology suppliers to deliver innovative, production-ready solutions.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in semiconductor process development, silicon photonics, and process integration, with experience driving technology from concept through manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and optimize semiconductor process modules for silicon photonics technologies.
  • Drive process development activities from prototype through production qualification and release.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering, fabrication, and manufacturing teams to implement new process technologies.
  • Develop advanced packaging, 3D heterogeneous integration (3D-HI), and electro-optical process solutions.
  • Perform process qualification, technology characterization, reliability testing, and yield improvement initiatives.
  • Design and evaluate test structures and mask layouts to support research, development, and product qualification activities.
  • Utilize simulation and modeling tools to support process optimization and technology development.
  • Support foundry process development and manufacturing readiness initiatives.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external partners to evaluate new technologies and manufacturing capabilities.
  • Provide technical support during process transfers, manufacturing ramp-up, and production readiness activities.
  • Travel occasionally to support manufacturing, supplier, and technology development activities.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Minimum of 5 years of semiconductor process development experience.
  • Strong understanding of semiconductor fabrication, process integration, and manufacturing technologies.
  • Experience working in high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environments.
  • Hands-on experience developing silicon photonics technologies.
  • Knowledge of advanced packaging, 3D heterogeneous integration (3D-HI), and electro-optical device manufacturing.
  • Experience with process qualification, reliability testing, yield improvement, and test structure development.
  • Proficiency with GDS layout tools, including Cadence Virtuoso.
  • Strong project management, analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Experience with semiconductor packaging technologies and advanced process integration.
  • Experience supporting foundry technology development and manufacturing enablement.
  • Familiarity with technology transfer from R&D into production.
What You'll Bring
  • A passion for developing next-generation semiconductor and silicon photonics technologies.
  • Strong technical aptitude with the ability to solve complex process engineering challenges.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills when working with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • A continuous improvement mindset focused on process optimization, manufacturing readiness, and product quality.
