Job summary

Lumina Corp is building a visible-light photonic integrated circuit platform. We seek a Photonics Fabrication and Test Engineer to turn device concepts into repeatable, high-yield fabrication flows and continuously improve them.

This hands-on role covers process development, integration, metrology, and yield, working closely with design and test to close the loop fast. You will collaborate across teams to optimize performance and manufacturability.

Qualifications

• PhD in Physics, Engineering, or equivalent.
• 2+ years hands-on semiconductor/photonics fabrication experience.
• Expert in photonics fabrication tools and metrology equipment.

Responsibilities

• Develop, own, and improve end-to-end photonics process flows (process integration, recipe development, yield improvement).
• Run and refine core cleanroom steps (lithography, etch, deposition, lift-off, cleaning, anneals).
• Establish robust process windows, controls, and documentation.
• Drive metrology and feedback loops to correlate process to device performance.
• Collaborate across fabrication, design, and characterization to improve performance, repeatability, and manufacturability.
• Run post-fabrication test and characterization flows to measure design performance.
