JOB DESCRIPTION
In the position of Process Integration Engineer, you will ensure high quality and reliability of InP-based Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) products through extensive experiments and data analysis. You will have the opportunity to help bring up our new high-volume fab in San Jose, CA. You will work with various functional teams to troubleshoot and improve wafer fabrication processes and drive improvements in yield reliability
RESPONSIBILITIES
Your Key Responsibilities:
* Troubleshoot challenging performance and yield issues in the wafer fab
* Investigate the reason and root cause for lots being put on hold
* Provide support for engineers with failure analysis – visual inspections, CD-SEM work, electrical IV sweeps, profilometer depth measurements, etc.
* Use Manufacturing Engineering System (MES) software to help with integration engineering activities – collect data, perform basic data analysis, generate Power Point reports, etc.
* Routine review of SPC charts and initial response for out-of-control events
* Coordinate and follow movement of qual and development lots through fab, assembly, and test areas
* Manage quality and yield of PIC wafers based on knowledge of fab processes, device physics, and the analysis of test and reliability data
* Troubleshoot and resolve process deviations and test failures through a detailed analysis of test data and process history
* Establish and maintain inline FAB process specifications.
* Support Process Engineering to improve process stability and capability
* Support Operations to improve throughput and cycle time
* Support next-generation PIC platform development and participate in technology development, transfer, and ramp activities to meet yield, reliability and device performance goals
* Help to assure compliance with PIC product quality system
