Senior Process Integration Engineer (ID 2528)

Drive end-to-end integration of photonic process technologies across external and internal environments. Own performance improvement, root-cause resolution, and cycle-time reduction for critical modules. Coordinate technology development projects, ensure disciplined execution, and maintain tight control of lot tracking, deviations, and quality events.

Role and Responsibilities

• Coordinate the development and qualification of new photonic technologies manufactured in external fabs.
• Monitor process performance, identify deviations early, and drive rapid root-cause analysis with internal teams and fab partners
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives across quality, yield, cycle-time, and cost.
• Analyse performance drifts and translate findings into actionable improvement plans
• Establish correlations between process parameters to support SPC and technology scaling
• Prepare clear technical specifications, track deviations, and ensure timely issue resolution with fab counterparts
• Work closely with design, test, and process teams to secure smooth technology transfer from development to production

Do you have experience in Root cause analysis?, * Advanced degree in photonics, microelectronics, or a related field

• Minimum 5-7 years of experience in PIC development, semiconductor processing, or integrated optics
• Experience in integrated optics is a strong plus
• Excellent analytical and synthesis skills
• Strong leadership and autonomy
• Good ability to work with cross-functional teams
• Be able to adapt your communication to situations (internal and external communication)
• Good computer skills are required (Python, JMP, R or equivalent) and knowledge of data analysis systems
• Goal oriented and driven to work on the next generation photonic technologies
• Proficiency in English; fluency in French is a strong plus

• A flexible and dynamic start-up 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
