• An independent thinker who can drive and develop solutions and implement them.

• Education Requirement:
  • PhD graduates with outstanding work in Photonics are encouraged to apply.
  • OR MSc in Engineering or related field and with 4+ year experience in Photonic devices.
• Minimum Qualifications:
  • 2+ years of proven experience in Photonics devices development at a leading foundry OR 4+ year photonics experience from an academic institution.
  • OR 4+ year hands‑on compound semiconductor processing experience with deep knowledge of Photonic device physics.
  • OR 4+ years of relevant engineering experience in Photonics with device characterization, yield, reliability, or test/validation experience.
• Preferred Qualifications:
  • PhD in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, photonic devices, or related fields.
  • 4+ years’ experience in process certification/product qualification and reliability risk assessment, quality systems, and quality culture knowledge.
  • Semiconductor device physics and defect mechanism knowledge.
  • Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes, manufacturing process development, material characterization and development, and design validation.
  • Hands‑on semiconductor wafer fabrication process and process integration challenges.
  • Reliability failure statistics, physics, failure mechanisms, and failure analysis methodologies.
  • Experience in SPC/DOE principles, DOEs execution, and statistical analysis.
  • Data extraction and analysis skills (JMP/Crystal Ball/ILM/REL/PCS/SQL Scripting).
  • Experienced in model‑based problem solving and familiar with other industry standard problem‑solving techniques (5 why’s, 8D).
  • Knowledge of photonic datacom and telecom reliability qualification standards such as Telcordia GR-468, AEC-Q102.
