OFC Career Zone

Alpine optoelectronics is a vertically integrated optical transceiver startup.  This position will be responsible for managing the Silicon Photonics Foundry suppliers to enable successful Silicon wafer run.

The position could be a junior, senior, or principal role depending on candidate’s qualification.  This position has two roles, one is to manage foundry related activities, the other (optional) aspect is a product engineer role.

• The scope of the responsibilities for foundry interface include:
• Procure foundry PDK and other process information, and work as internal consultant to optical designers
• Design in-house electrical and photonic test patterns to monitor the foundry process variations, supplementing foundry Process Control Modules
• Being the owner/driving force for the tape-out process
• Using Statistical Process Control tools to analyze the wafer PCM data, and identify process/design weakness
• Working with foundry account manager, process integration engineer to enable on-time delivery of wafers
• Working with foundry process integration engineer to design process and recommend design split
• Monitor and drive foundry process development to enable Alpine’s next generation product, and improve existing product yield and cycle time

• The scope of product engineers
  • Using statistical tools to analyze product yield, identify process or design weakness to improve product yield

• Ph.D (or Master's) in Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related field with educational or industrial experience in Semiconductor processing, or expert with photonics training but had extensive exposure to foundry interface
• Experience in Silicon foundry as process integration (preferred) or module engineers, or being a foundry interface person of a fabless company is desired
• Exposure to implementation of silicon photonics design, or educational background in integrated photonics is a plus.
• Solid statistical analysis capability, practical experience with analysis software such as JMP is strongly desired
• Analytical analysis skill, programming fluency in Python, Matlab, or any other commonly-used software tools
