SMTS Silicon Photonics Device Characterization Engineer

GlobalFoundries•Malta, NY

2d•$118,000 - $210,000

About The Position

As a Si photonics device characterization engineer, you will be working on the development and qualification of active and passive Si photonic devices for high-speed optical interconnect and sensing applications in 45nm & beyond. The specific job focus will be identifying potential improvements in performance and manufacturability through data mining of in-line, electrical and optical signals. New test structures will also be developed to better predict yield, final device figures of merit and reduce test time.
