Job description

As a Device Integration Engineer, you will work at the intersection of design, process development, and Test&Measurement to improve the performance and manufacturability of our photonic platforms. You will play a vital role in correlating test device data with yield and process performance metrics, refining our PDK, and enabling successful product integration for our customers., * Integrate design, process, and test deliverables to ensure customer designs are manufacturable, scalable, and meet performance expectations.

  • Analyze and correlate test data from devices and circuits to process performance (end-of-line data to in-line data) to identify improvement areas in both yield and platform performance. Create and maintain relevant dashboards and scripts.
  • Drive cross-functional improvement projects based on the analysed data which will enhance PDK capabilities, design rules, and overall platform robustness. Act as a driving force to link various teams.
  • Integrate simulation results with measured performance to refine PDK models.
  • Collaborate closely with yield and process engineers to define and execute yield ramp-up plans.
  • Guide test engineers in defining and executing appropriate measurement strategies and test structures.
  • Interface with Mask Design and PDK teams to ensure high-quality tape-outs and efficient design cycles. Ensure customer designs are manufacturable and scalable.
  • Support customer-facing technical discussions, as well as structured problem-solving (e.g. 8D) for issues related to yield or performance., * Be part of a collaborative, multicultural team, who is working at the forefront of Photonics innovation;
  • Work on exciting projects that are challenging and fun.
  • A tailored career development with training and coaching for growth
  • Work at the High Tech Campus, the SMARTest square kilometer in Europe!

Requirements

Do you have experience in Python?, Do you have a Master's degree?, * PhD in Photonics (preferred) or related field; Candidates with a MSc degree in Photonics or related field and 3 years of hands-on experience in integrated InP photonics or Si/SiN/LiNbO /hybrid photonics on top are also encouraged to apply.

  • Strong background in photonic device design, characterization, and data analysis (Python, MATLAB, Spotfire, etc.).
  • Extensive practical experience with data visualization/analysis tools as well as statistical process control (SPC) and design of experiments (DOE) and their analysis (JMP, Minitab, etc.) is a strong plus.
  • Understanding of PDK development, compact modelling, design rules, and circuit simulations. Hand on experience with tapeouts is a big plus.
  • Effective communication, stakeholder coordination, and a results-driven, pragmatic mindset.
  • Ability to work in cross-functional teams and translate technical insights into design and process improvements.
