Responsibilities
Execute precision optical alignment and manual landing of probes on semiconductor dies to test the performance of photonic devices
Collect, analyze, and report data on device metrics such as Insertion Loss, VPi, and Extinction Ratio
Use Python code to perform automated measurements and make modifications to acquisition code and photonic setup when required
Assist in performing electro-optical characterization of thin film samples (including Teng-Man and other optical measurements) following established protocols
Assist in reliability study schedules: loading and unloading samples from aging chambers and performing measurements at critical times
Perform the poling procedure on electro-optic polymer devices. This involves applying DC fields across the device while managing thermal profiles to align chromophores in the polymer
Monitor leakage currents and probe contact during the poling process to ensure device yield
Conduct prototype packaging operations to transition devices from bare die to testable modules
Perform and optimize die-attach, wire bonding, and fiber array attach
Develop and maintain Python scripts to automate instrument control (lasers, source measure units, optical power meters)
Process large datasets to extract statistical trends regarding device performance and yield
Other duties and projects as assigned
