We value our talented employees, and whenever possible strive to help one of our associates grow professionally before recruiting new talent to our open positions. If you think the open position you see is right for you, we encourage you to apply!
Our people make all the difference in our success.
We are seeking a bright Process Engineering professional to join our talented team in our San Jose Fab. If you have a passion for learning and solving problems as well as an educational background that includes materials science, physics, electrical engineering or directly related disciplines; or hands-on experience that includes wafer fabrication process and equipment; -- this role could be just what you seek.
What Will You Do:
  • This role involves developing and maintaining processes for the fabrication of compound semiconductor wafers. It requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams in Process Development, Integration, and Product Engineering to ensure the seamless transfer of advanced processes into production. Additionally, this position will support the Product Engineering team with First Pass Yield and Failure Analysis to enhance the performance and yield of photonic devices. A strong understanding and practical experience in wafer fab processing are crucial, particularly in Photolithography and Plating, as well as in Sputtering thin film deposition, RIE, PECVD, and Wet Etch.
  • Design, develop and qualify different area of Mfg. Process including but not limited to Photolithography, Plating, and Sputtering thin film deposition processes.
  • Sustain processes with emphasis on statistical process control, maintain yields and improve yields to targets.
  • Improve manufacturability and defect reduction for different process areas of the wafer fab by working closely with various process engineers.
  • Develop and maintain documentation and statistical process control (SPC) charts appropriate to a wafer manufacturing Fab.
  • Data Analysis and correlation of defects with process parameters across different process areas of the fab.
  • Process development and sustaining engineering for GaAs/InP wafer processes for existing products.
  • Provide detailed engineering analysis and documentation to support process deployment and ramp into volume manufacturing.

Requirements:
  • The ideal candidate should possess a BS degree along with over 8 years of relevant experience in a clean room manufacturing environment. An MS or PhD in materials science, electrical engineering, optics, solid state physics, or a similar field is preferred. Additionally, having over 3 years of practical experience in a production wafer fabrication facility and high-volume manufacturing is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with fabricating III-V compound semiconductor devices, such as edge-emitting lasers, vertical surface-emitting lasers, photodetectors, and integrated photonics devices, is advantageous.
  • Experience with statistical data analysis tools like JMP and Minitab is required, and proficiency in Python is considered an advantage.
  • Proven ability to execute projects independently
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills are essential for effectively interacting with Process Engineering, Manufacturing, Design, Production Engineering, and other cross-functional project teams.
  • Experience with process design of experiments (DOE), statistical process control (SPC) rules, control charts, and various aspects of manufacturing and operations is required.
  • Proven ability to independently handle projects and adapt to a flexible schedule for 24/7 fab manufacturing support.

Pay Range:
P40-USA-1 :$87,550.00 - $125,050.00
