The successful applicant will be part of a team that produces world-class sensors based on photodetectors, diode lasers, and other wafer-based optoelectronic devices for various applications including optical communications, remote sensing (e.g., lidar and laser rangefinding), quantum sensing, high-performance imaging, and photonic integrated circuits. Working collaboratively with the rest of our in-house wafer fabrication team, the Semiconductor Process Engineer will oversee the development and production of state-of-the-art III-V avalanche photodetectors, laser diodes, and other optoelectronic devices. This individual will develop and optimize new device fabrication processes, guide process technicians to successfully complete these fabrication process, improve processing procedures, and identify processing issues. This engineer will also be responsible for the operation of all equipment used during fabrication processes that support both new product development and product manufacturing.
