About The Position

At Meta, we are developing the future of AR/VR displays. We are seeking an Advanced Manufacturing Engineer to join our team and drive the ramp-up of RGB microLED chips used in display modules to mass production, and enable key metrics related to performance, yield, quality, cost, supply and reliability to be met. This is a high-impact role focused on managing, sustaining and improving the manufacturing line at a key external partner. This Engineer will be adaptable individual with versatile, cross-disciplinary experience in semiconductor epitaxy, device fabrication, yield engineering, failure analysis, and statistical process control, with demonstrated experience in solving unfamiliar problems and influencing decisions with a broad range of stakeholders and partners.

Requirements

Masters or PhD in microelectronics, physics, electrical engineering, materials science, or a related field
5+ years of experience with optoelectronic device fabrication and/or process integration
5+ years of experience with managing external partners (e.g., contract manufacturers)
2+ years of experience managing and analyzing large data sets, specifically for yield analysis and management
2+ years of experience with Design of Experiment (DOE), structured problem solving and statistical data analysis (JMP, Minitab, Tableau, etc.) and statistical process control (SPC) methodology
Broad experience and expertise in semiconductor materials, device fabrication processes, process integration and device architecture
Understanding of failure analysis techniques including SEM, TEM, EDS, etc
Understanding of factory operational readiness metrics including IQC, IPQC, OQC, FMEA, control plans, yield, GRR, UPH, OEE, MMR)
Understanding of cleanroom management principles
Experience working in cross-discipline teams and drive convergence on solutions that optimize across multiple technology layers

Nice To Haves

Experience in III-V semiconductor optoelectronic devices (GaN/GaAs material systems)
Experience with microLED process development or process integration
Experience in optoelectronic device packaging and assembly processes
Background in semiconductor device physics and/or materials science
Experience with emerging display technologies and associated fabrication and integration challenges
Experience with technology transfer and ramp to high-volume manufacturing

Responsibilities

In this role, you will apply your end-to-end expertise and ownership through the NPI engineering and production ramp phases for RGB microLEDs, from epitaxy through the device fabrication process and end-of-line test.
You will define and own key performance indicators (KPIs) such as yield, process capability, cycle time and OEE, and will devise and lead improvement plans to meet these targets.
You will work closely with the external partner to proactively identify and resolve technical and operational risks, and drive containment, failure analysis and corrective actions for technical issues.
You will work with internal customers to understand and address downstream technical issues related to the microLED design and process, and drive convergence on device-level specifications based on evolving system requirements.
Additionally, you will own the yield bridge and drive actions towards meeting targets
External Partner Management: Lead technical engagement for sustaining and manufacturing operations at a partner site
NPI and Manufacturing: Drive high-volume ramp and MP readiness, sustain production
Yield & Performance: Define and own key performance indicators (KPIs); execute yield roadmap, drive root cause analysis, drive cycle time and cost reduction
Manufacturing rigor: Establish and drive FMEA, SOPs, process characterization reports, control plan, OCAP, etc
Cross-Functional Leadership: Drive cross-functional teams, resolve downstream integration issues, drive spec convergence, report status to management
Roadmapping: Drive long-term microLED manufacturing roadmap for cost reduction
Travel ~25% to external partner site(s) for onsite-support
