Senior Optical Packaging Engineer

PsiQuantum•Milpitas, CA

1d•$183,000 - $200,000

About The Position

The Senior Optical Packaging Engineer develops and implements a high-performance, robust fiber-to-chip package and a scalable packaging process for optical systems comprising optical fibers attached to chip-based photonic integrated circuits. The role develops packaging prototypes and scalable assembly flows, improves package performance and reliability, and supports transfer and scale-up of designs and processes with manufacturing teams and external vendors.

Requirements

Master’s degree or above in Engineering, Physics, or Material Science.
10+ years of experience at a semiconductor company or supplier working on PIC packaging design, qualification, and multi-chip assemblies.
5+ years of experience working with optical fibers and optical measurements.
5+ years of work experience with advanced semiconductor packaging OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly & Test) and/or EOL vendors.
5+ years of experience at a semiconductor company or supplier working on FAU/optical connector-to-chip attachment.
Experience with fiber-attach tooling and process/flow development, and optical data analysis.
Experience with FA and 8D failure-resolution techniques.
Experience developing metrics for yield and quality management, including reliability and yield based on optical and mechanical performance.

Responsibilities

Develop an optical package and fiber-to-chip alignment scheme that supports high alignment accuracy and scalable assembly.
Help develop packaging prototypes and scalable fiber-to-chip packaging flows for new product introduction (NPI).
Review packaging design bills of materials (BOMs) and work with supply chain to procure assembly parts.
Establish and update version-controlled design-for-manufacturing (DFM) requirements and provide feedback to the packaging design group.
Design, execute, summarize, and analyze experiments and process trend studies to improve the performance and reliability of optical packaged assemblies.
Work with manufacturing groups and vendors to transfer and scale packaging designs and processes based on successful prototypes.
Advise manufacturing groups and vendors on setting up high-throughput packaging assembly lines.
Work with external vendors and suppliers to source required materials and provide feedback on evolving requirements.
