About the role

This technology will revolutionize High-Performance (HPC) and Cloud computing, as well as other industries where low power interconnects are critical like camera sensors, autonomous vehicles, and aerospace.
Analyze characterization data to extract key performance metrics, including optical output power, forward voltage, emission wavelength, external quantum efficiency (EQE), and device reliability/degradation characteristics.

Perform optical, electrical, and thermal characterization of microLED devices throughout the development lifecycle.
Design, develop, and maintain automated measurement systems and test scripts to improve characterization efficiency and repeatability.
Drive root cause analysis of device performance and reliability issues, providing data-driven recommendations to process, device, and design engineering teams.
Collaborate cross-functionally with process integration, epitaxy, device design, and product engineering teams to optimize device performance and manufacturing yield.
Develop new characterization methodologies, test procedures, and best practices to support next-generation microLED technologies.
Maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot laboratory equipment to ensure measurement accuracy and reliability.
Document experimental procedures, results, and conclusions in clear technical reports and present findings to cross-functional teams.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Optics, or a related technical field.
10+ years of industry experience in semiconductor or optoelectronic device characterization.
Strong understanding of electrical, optical, and thermal characterization techniques for semiconductor devices.
Experience with automated test systems and measurement instrumentation.
Strong analytical skills with proficiency in JMP, Python, Excel, or similar data analysis tools.
Experience with statistical data analysis and Design of Experiments (DOE).
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present technical findings to multidisciplinary teams.
Ability to work independently in a fast-paced startup environment while collaborating effectively across engineering disciplines.

Ph.D. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Optics, or a related field.
Direct experience with microLED, LED, VCSEL, laser, or other III-V semiconductor device characterization.
Familiarity with metrology tools such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy, profilometry, and other optical characterization techniques.
Experience with reliability testing, failure analysis, and lifetime characterization.
Knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes and process integration.
