About this role

Job description: Develop and innovate critical photonics heterogeneous III-V integration modules. Drive multi-functional teams to optimize existing process flows and develop new innovative integration solutions to meet potential product requirements and manufacturability. Develop or redefine critical criteria/aspects for optimal design performances and process capability. Initiate DOE (Design of Experiments) evaluations to characterize process window for new design/product requirements. Pro-active in evaluating and implementing new integration schemes. Establish proof of concept for future tech roadmap. Take on an active attitude to summarize complex problems, explain actions taken to address them with clarity, and align with unit process, design and fabrication teams. Extract and analyse inline, GDS layout, parametric, reliability, and other critical metrics to construct predictive modelling on the photonics device performance and specification. Coordinate activities with multi-functional teams to ensure timely wafers handling to meet deadline requirements. Require certain amount of working time in research fab/cleanroom environment for experiment and data collection. Job Requirement: Degree or Master in Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics, or equivalent. Experience in semiconductor lasers/photodetectors design especially the familiarity with indium phosphide active device design—such as epitaxial layer stacks, cavity structures, and related aspects is highly preferred. Good critical thinking and problem-solving ability. Able to work in clean room environment. Able to work with cross-functional team, with good communication/presentation skill. Able to work in a fast-paced and collaborative environment. The above eligibility criteria are not exhaustive.
