About the role

  • This role focuses on sustaining and improving lithography equipment used in the fabrication of III-V semiconductor devices, lasers, and optical components.
  • The engineer will ensure tool performance, process stability, and yield optimization in a fast-paced, precision-driven environment.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary owner for lithography tools, including steppers/aligners and coat/develop track systems.
  • Maintain high tool uptime and reliability to support production of photonic devices (e.g., lasers, modulators, optical chips).
  • Perform advanced troubleshooting on optical exposure systems, alignment modules, and resist processing equipment.
  • Process & Device Support
  • Partner with process and device engineers to support fabrication of III-V photonics devices.
  • Support new product introductions (NPI) and technology transfers.
  • Drive initiatives to improve yield, tool throughput, and cost efficiency.
  • Lead projects to reduce variation and improve pattern fidelity for optical device structures.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field.
  • 3-8+ years of experience in semiconductor or photonics manufacturing.
  • Hands-on experience with lithography equipment (steppers, scanners, track systems).
  • Strong understanding of photolithography fundamentals, including resist processing, alignment, and exposure.
  • Experience working in a cleanroom environment.

Nice to have

  • Experience in III-V semiconductor or photonics device fabrication (e.g., lasers, VCSELs, optical components).
  • Familiarity with compound semiconductor processes (InP, GaAs).
  • Experience with advanced optical alignment and precision patterning.
  • Knowledge of optical metrology, CD-SEM, overlay, and defect inspection tools.
  • Experience with high-mix, high-precision manufacturing environments.
  • Programming/analysis skills (Python, JMP, MATLAB).
  • Key Skills & Competencies
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting capability in precision equipment
