QCi is seeking a highly motivated senior process engineer to join our team to support several high priority customer projects. In this role, the candidate will work collaboratively with a cross functional team of process engineers, PIC designers, RF designers, and PIC characterization engineers to fabricate non-linear photonic integrated circuits based on thin film lithium niobate. The ideal candidate will have several years of process development experience in etching (chemical etch, plasma etch, ion beam etch), deposition (electron beam evaporation, sputtering), lithography (photolithography, electron beam lithography) and metrology (SEM, AFM, TEM, stylus profilometry, white light interferometry).
Job Responsibility
Lead the development and optimization of manufacturing processes of thin film lithium niobate photonic integrated circuits
Drive process integration and improvement initiatives to enhance device performance and yield
Work closely with the process team in the cleanroom to optimize associated metrology measurements in the fabrication flow of TFLN chips
Collaborate with stakeholders across the manufacturing organization, including the design and measurement teams to deliver high quality photonic integrated circuits
Utilize advanced metrology tools such as CD SEM, AFM, ellipsometry, profilometry, XPS, XRD, and optical interferometry for process characterization and defect analysis
Troubleshoot process deviations, particle contamination, and performance issues and implement corrective actions and continuous improvement strategies
Support high priority customers throughout the design, fabrication and testing phases of their projects
