Senior Process Integration Engineer

• 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.
