About The Position

Virtually every communications network in the world—telecom, enterprise, or data center—depends on our optical components and modules. Our high-performance commercial lasers are critical to advanced manufacturing techniques for products ranging from semiconductor chips, smartphones, and tablets to automobiles and appliances. We are a world technology leader, and our employees are part of an elite, innovative, success-driven team operating in a fast-moving, collaborative work environment to solve real-world problems. We are seeking an Epitaxy Process Engineer to join our dynamic team, performing the following: In this position you will: Serve as process engineer for epitaxy and metrology related activities, supporting manufacturing, and supporting R&D for continuous product improvement and NPI development. Assume responsibilities of metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) epitaxy and thin film deposition process ownership on dedicated reactor towards 24×7 manufacturing and developing new-generation optoelectronic devices for optical communications and consumer applications. Develop, optimize, and sustain advanced characterization and measurement processes, as well as metrology tool governance and calibration. Deliver on time and meet all key epitaxy production matrices including the line yield, tool throughput, and its continuous improvement process (CIP) including reactor component design improvement participation, on-time delivery to growth commitment, data generation and presentation towards driving the manufacturing continuity and its troubleshooting, procedure protocols documentation, wafer cost/cycle time, lean manufacturing, engineering change order, statistical process control (SPC)/analysis/report, work instruction, corrective action, high-level production training, manufacturing execution system (MES), process flow, volume manufacturing, other manufacturing documentations/logistics. Interface closely with the manufacturing production as well as various product engineers, equipment engineers, process engineers, chip design engineers, to maintain and improve the legacy wafer fab products and to develop new products.

Requirements

Bachelor, Master or Ph.D. degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Material Science or related field is required.
Demonstrated ability to analyze the data, write clear technical reports to lead to the valid conclusion or result, and make crisp presentation is necessary.
Able to work supporting of 24×7 fab manufacturing, including working additional off-hours on-call support as required.
A highly motivated self-starter with ability to work independently and a strong team player with good communication skills.
Ability to adapt in rapid changing priorities, to thrive on technical challenges within and outside own core area of expertise, and to interact effectively across multi-functional teams.

Nice To Haves

Experience with CVD/thin film processes is preferred.
Experience developing, optimizing, documenting and sustaining CVD processes, especially MOCVD.
Working knowledge of SPC, and reporting SPC/yield for relevant processes is desired.
Technical knowledge and hands-on experience in III-V compound semiconductor wafer and device characterizations such as photoluminescence (PL), x-ray diffractometer (XRD), ECV/polarons, particle/defect scan, thin film reflectometer, and spectroscopic ellipsometer is desired.
Experience working cooperatively with equipment engineering and product engineering to manage effect of process details on device performance and yield is preferred.
Experience with manufacturing execution software that controls process sequence, collects and evaluates process measurements to assure product quality is preferred.
Experience in manufacturing epitaxy and metrology with familiarity of design of experiment (DOE), statistical process control (SPC), methodical data analysis for process performance improvement and process troubleshooting is ideal.
