PIC Process Integration Engineer
About The Position
The PIC Process Integration Engineer will join Nokia’s Photonic Integrated Circuit Product Integration Team and lead the bring-up and qualification of a new Indium Phosphide (InP) photonics semiconductor fabrication facility. The role focuses on establishing high-yield, scalable, and reliable photonic device manufacturing processes in a fab environment. The engineer will support qualification of front-end and back-end equipment, develop and optimize InP-based PIC process modules, and improve yield and reliability through monitoring, metrology, statistical process control, and root-cause analysis. The role also collaborates with device design, test, and packaging teams and supports process documentation and transfer from R&D into pilot and volume production.
Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
- Hands-on experience in compound semiconductor fabrication.
- Understanding of semiconductor process integration, yield-improvement methodologies, and cleanroom practices.
- Experience with fab tool bring-up and qualification, including troubleshooting and maintenance support.
- Strong problem-solving skills and a data-driven mindset.
- Familiarity with tools such as JMP, Python, and MES/SPC software packages.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work in a fast-paced startup or ramp-up environment.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with InP-based photonics is strongly preferred.
- Experience with SPC, Design for Manufacturing (DfM), and Six Sigma principles for continuous improvement.
Responsibilities
- Support fab start-up and drive qualification of front-end and back-end process tools for InP-based photonic device fabrication.
- Work with process engineers and internal stakeholders to meet process and equipment milestones.
- Develop and optimize process modules, including etch, deposition, lithography, diffusion, and metallization, for InP-based PICs.
- Ensure process robustness and repeatability across the full device flow.
- Establish process monitoring metrics, inline metrology strategies, and SPC to improve yield.
- Identify root causes of process excursions or device failures and lead corrective actions using failure-analysis tools and DOE methodology.
- Collaborate with device design, test, and packaging teams to ensure manufacturability and alignment with performance targets.
- Develop and maintain process documentation, FMEA analyses, and qualification reports.
- Support transfer of developed processes from R&D to pilot and volume production.
