About this role
- Responsibilities
Drive new product and new process development to ensure timely and successful delivery of qualified products.
- Oversee day-to-day progress of matrix lots to keep development activities on track.
- Manage part numbers and BOM to ensure proper setup for new product introduction.
- Support the NPI team in establishing mask sets, process flows, and workflows for both front-end (wafer fabrication) and back-end (die assembly and characterization) processes.
- Assist in failure analysis by investigating issues found during wafer fabrication and product characterization and take the lead in analyzing root causes.
- Coordinate production ramp-up readiness by working closely with cross-functional teams—including EPI, process, assembly, test, and product engineering—to ensure readiness in areas such as chip design/specs, equipment, process documentation, and data infrastructure.
- Collaborate with the product engineering team to improve yield, especially in addressing characterization issues that span multiple process areas.
- Design and execute experiments related to design, process, and testing to identify and implement corrective actions for failure modes encountered during new product development.
- Experience
3 years of experience in III-V semiconductor laser related device design, process
development and characterization is required.
- PhD degree in electrical engineering, material science, physics, or other relevant
major.
- Skills & requirements
Hands-on experience with design, process and characterization of optoelectronic device such as VCSEL, DFB laser, or photonic integrated chip.
- Strong statistical data analysis skills (JMP or Minitab etc.).
