Responsibilities
Lead the process development and integration of optical interposer modules, including photonic waveguide layers, and precision optical coupling structures
Develop and qualify wafer-level processes for photonic and optoelectronic integration, including alignment, bonding, and encapsulation for optical performance and reliability
Define design rules, process assumptions, and wafer acceptance criteria for optical interposer and packaging modules
Drive co-design across photonic, electrical, and mechanical domains to optimize performance, manufacturability, and yield
Partner with foundry and packaging vendors to develop optical I/O solutions, such as fiber attach, and photonic–electronic co-packaging
Analyze inline metrology, optical loss measurements, and defect data to identify and resolve yield limiters
Establish process controls, statistical methods (Cp/Cpk), and reliability test protocols for new optical and packaging modules
Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to support materials selection, tool evaluation, and computational modeling for next-generation optical integration schemes
Qualification
Required
M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or a related field
10+ years of experience in semiconductor or photonic process integration, optical packaging, or heterogeneous photonic integration
Proven experience in optical interposer development, including silicon photonics, glass/silicon interposer platforms, or wafer-level photonic packaging
Familiarity with optical coupling techniques (fiber attach, grating couplers, lens alignment) and low-loss photonic integration processes
Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional development programs with external foundry and OSAT partners
Experience with inline optical metrology, wafer-level testing, yield improvement, and defect reduction
Track record of developing and transferring new process modules from R&D to pilot or production environments
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with a hands-on approach and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative setting
Preferred
Understanding of advanced packaging technologies, including hybrid bonding, chiplet integration, or co-packaged optics
