About the role
Location: Remote - SF / Boston / Austin
Employment: Full-time
Level: —
Design our custom lasers and their integration with the wafer-scale interposer.
You will contribute to our first- and second-generation custom laser designs, and to their integration with the wafer-scale interposer.
Responsibilities
* Owning aspects of qualification and ramp up of VCSEL array product line from design and epitaxy through fabrication, testing and packaging at contract manufacturers. * Working with epitaxial wafer vendors and contract manufacturers to ensure epitaxy and mask/fabrication designs can be successfully implemented and repeatably produced. * Working with the electronics, packaging and wafer-scale interposer teams to improve the VCSEL design for the integrated interposer product, balancing density, yield and manufacturability tradeoffs in a novel architecture. * Working with laser team to set technical direction/road map based on integrated interposer needs. * Driving design reviews of VCSEL with other teams
Requirements
* Deep understanding of VCSEL epitaxy design, fabrication design and process, validation, and qualification * Experience taping out VCSEL epitaxy and mask/fabrication processes * Hands-on experience contributing to an industry-first laser design * Ability to work independently as well as in cross-functional teams including electronics, packaging
Nice to have
* Experience using outsourced contract manufacturers for large volume production of VCSELs * Experience with high-density VCSEL arrays and VCSEL polarization stabilization * High speed direct modulation laser diode design/test experience * Understanding of sources of process variation and statistical process control for yield improvement * Laser packaging and/or reliability experience
