You will collect and analyze data, perform hardware characterization, and troubleshoot engineering issues. You'll also measure film properties, generate technical documentation, and engage with customers to resolve concerns. Process Engineers collaborate with vendors and suppliers, and become familiar with implementing new technologies and products. You will experiment, learn, and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the semiconductor and display industries, partnering with our globally recognized R&D teams on state-of-the-art research and development projects.  

We are seeking a highly skilled Process Engineer with deep expertise in optoelectronic devices (micro

LEDs, VCSELs, etc.) to develop next-generation high-performance photonic interconnects and co-packaged optical systems. This role is critical for enabling high-density, low-loss interconnects in next-generation AI data centers and high-performance computing platforms.

Key Responsibilities
* Design, fabricate, and characterize low-power, high-speed optoelectronic devices (micro

LEDs, VCSEL arrays, etc.) for photonic interconnect applications.
* Perform device design and modeling (optical/electrical/thermal) using simulation tools such as Light Tools, Lumerical, COMSOL, or equivalent.
* Develop process integration for photonic interconnect solutions, including coupling strategies between transmitter, waveguide, fiber, and receiver.
* Set up measurement metrology; conduct optical, electrical, and tolerance analysis of high-speed photonic devices.
* Optimize components for performance, efficiency, reliability, and manufacturability.
* Establish and manage external collaborations with partners, customers, and suppliers.

Qualifications

* Education:

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field.
* Strong knowledge of optoelectronic device physics and design.
* 5+ years of experience in compound semiconductor processing (GaN, GaAs, InP) with emphasis on micro

LED or VCSEL technologies.
* Deep understanding and hands-on experience for epitaxial growth, litho, etching, metallization, passivation, backend, packaging and testing for optoelectronic devices.
* Proficiency in simulation tools for optical/electrical/thermal modeling.
* Excellent communication skills, problem-solving ability, and capability to work in a collaborative research environment.
