Optical and Metrology Manufacturing Eng

Its fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what theyre doing!
Were committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

The position is to be an integral part of a wafer fab manufacturing engineering team for the fabrication of IIIV compound semiconductorbased optics/optoelectronic components covering laser photodetector modulator integrated photonics and glassbased optical passive diffractive elements in high volume manufacturing. This position will also heavily interact with R&D equipment production engineering and device level testing teams on failure analysis process development and new tool/strategy introduction to meet the needs from production ramp and lean manufacturing.

Job Duties:

• Oversee sustain and develop a diverse range of stateofart wafer fabrication and metrology instruments for IIIV compound process fabrication lines and submicron grating manufacturing to support both NPI development and mass production.
• Design build setup and improve custom tools based on optical table setups involving mechanical optical and control automation programming aspects.
• Evaluate develop establish automate and maintain various optical characterization systems for new product characterization and for wafer fab manufacturing.
• Utilize wafer fab metrology infrastructures to meet all key production matrices including the line yield wafer cost/cycle time commitment delivery lean manufacturing engineering change orders statistical process control/analysis/reports work instructions corrective actions highlevel production training manufacturing system (MES) process flow volume manufacturing gage R&R calibration and other manufacturing documentation/logistics.
• Analyze prioritize and highlevel debug rootcause problems of escalated fab processing and characterization issues throughout the entire life cycle of chip products and perform failure analysis to sustain high yield from production line.
• Evaluate new metrology and testing instruments and technologies upgrade of existing tools expend capacity/throughput and qualify onto production.
• Provide technical support to production and equipment maintenance teams to resolve problems and keep metrology tools running well. Perform data analysis summarize report findings and assist epitaxy and process engineering team members to develop optimize and troubleshoot their processes.

Requirements
