Mask data Engineer - Integrated Photonics FRCHBE

LIGENTEC is a fastgrowing European company with headquarter in Lausanne Switzerland. Since 2021 we expanded our manufacturing capabilities by creating LIGENTEC France in the South of Paris. We specialize in the design & manufacturing of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for customers in hightech areas such as Quantum Technologies LiDAR Space Technologies and Biosensors.

LIGENTEC AllNitride (AN) technology enables our customers to develop their products in the Industrial Revolution 4.0.

You are about to enter this unique opportunity to bring R&D to product.

To support our continued growth we are looking for a:

Mask data Engineer Integrated Photonics

Tasks

• Mask Frame and Layout: Develop and optimise mask frame based on layouts ensuring alignment with lithography requirements and process capabilities.
• Data Preparation: Convert photonic IC design data into mask data including layer generation OPC (Optical Proximity Correction) and layer translation ensuring high precision and compatibility with lithography equipment.
• Verification and Validation: Perform rigorous checks on mask data using tools such as DRC (Design Rule Checking) and LVS (Layout vs. Schematic) to identify and work with the customer to correct.
• OPC Optimization: Apply optical proximity correction techniques to the mask design to compensate for optical distortions and ensure pattern fidelity in the photolithography process.
• Collaboration with Design and Fabrication Teams: Work closely with photonic IC design engineers and fabrication teams to understand design intents and process limitations ensuring mask data is optimised for both.
• Process Improvement: Continuously seek ways to improve mask data preparation processes including automation of repetitive tasks enhancement of data accuracy and reduction of turnaround times.
• Documentation and Reporting: Maintain comprehensive documentation of mask data preparation processes and procedures and prepare reports on process metrics and performance.

Requirements

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering Physics Materials Science or a related technical field
• Experience in frame design data preparation and verification in a semiconductor manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency with EDA tools used in mask data preparation preference on Mentor Synopsys
• Experience with scripting languages (e.g. Python) for automation and process efficiency
• Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes especially photolithography
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Attention to detail and commitment to achieving highquality outcomes.

Benefits

• A flexible and dynamic startup work environment
• A highly international diverse and highly motivated team
• Personal responsibility in your job and the chance to grow with us
• Our passion to bring PICs to everyday life.

We look forward to receiving your full application including 1) your CV 2) a statement of interest (relating the position to your skills) and 3) grade or work certificates. Noncomplete applications may not be considered.
