Senior Photonics Process Integration for HVM

Darwin Quantum; Oost-Vlaanderen; Sur place; EUR 110 000 - 150 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Darwin Quantum seeks an experienced Photonics Process Integration Expert to lead the industrialisation of an advanced photonics platform and drive its transition from prototype to high-volume manufacturing at partner fabs and foundries.

You will own BEOL metallisation, wafer/die bonding and heterogeneous integration processes, work with TFLN and silicon photonics, and collaborate with research institutes and manufacturing partners to deliver reliable, scalable production.

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in Photonics, Microelectronics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field.
• 5+ years of relevant experience in photonic or semiconductor process technology.
• Strong understanding of PIC and semiconductor process steps.
• Expertise in BEOL/metallisation and bonding technologies.
• Experience with heterogeneous integration and advanced semiconductor integration.
• Experience working with fabs, foundries, semiconductor manufacturers or research institutes.
• Experience managing technology transfer, process development or industrialisation projects.
• Knowledge of silicon photonics and TFLN is highly advantageous.
• Ability to work independently and lead technically complex activities across boundaries.
• Strong communication skills with internal teams, suppliers, fabs and research partners.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Willingness to travel occasionally to fab and partner sites.

Responsabilités

• Lead discussions with fabs and foundries to transfer the heterogeneous photonics platform into high-volume manufacturing processes.
• Assess process compatibility for TFLN and silicon photonics with existing manufacturing infrastructure.
• Own the technical roadmap for process evaluation, transfer and qualification.
• Lead risk assessments, gap analyses and manufacturing-readiness activities.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with external manufacturing partners.
• Manage research collaborations with institutes and technology partners.
• Coordinate joint development activities that accelerate maturation of the photonic process toward volume manufacturing.
• Support continued process innovation and IP development around heterogeneous photonic integration.
• Provide deep technical expertise across the PIC and semiconductor process flow.
• Work with photonic design and engineering teams to evolve the platform per performance and customer requirements.
• Take ownership of BEOL metallisation, wafer/die bonding and heterogeneous integration processes.
• Drive process development from initial experiments through validation and qualification.
• Ensure processes converge towards performance, yield, reliability and manufacturability targets.
• Document process definitions, development results, transfer plans and qualification activities.
• Align internal process requirements with external manufacturing and equipment roadmaps.
