Sr. Fab Engineer (Silicon Photonics) – Cisco – Albany, NY

You’ll be managing Silicon Photonics wafer fabrication process development,
troubleshooting technical issues and designing build plans for proof of
concept of new technologies. You’ll also be driving Cisco’s research and
development activities toward development of next generation Silicon
Photonics building blocks. You’ll own process qualification activities and
define on-going reliability criteria (ORM) for Silicon Photonics ICs. You’ll
also work with Cisco’s Foundry partners to bring up in-line and end of line
wafer electro-optical testing programs, including wafer yield analysis, and
drive NPI to high volume transfer activities to meet Cisco’s module
performance and reliability criteria.

Minimum
requirements for this role include an MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering,
Materials Science, Physics or related fields with 7+ years experience in CMOS
or Photonics fabrication. Experience in silicon photonics design, components
and manufacturing is key, including experience in statistical data analysis,
yield metrics, Cpk etc. Experience with wafer fabrication back end of line
qualification and reliability metrics is also a must.

Desired skills include experience with wafer scale fabrication
of Photonics builds blocks, such as waveguides, coupling structures,
modulators etc. and solving manufacturing issues related to wafer fabrication
and scale up. Some experience or exposure to electro-optical wafer level
testing is highly desirable.The ideal candidate will be a great team player
and have the ability to collaborate with multiple internal and external teams
toward achieving common goals.
