09-002 Sr. Scientist/VCSEL Device Designer
09-006 Board Design/Systems Engineer

09-002 Sr. Scientist/VCSEL Device Designer

The research engineer will design new devices and initiate improvements on existing device designs through theoretical methods. Will design and build specialized engineering test stations and perform advanced testing of these new devices. Will focus on the design and testing of high power Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) and high power VCSEL arrays. The design/test work includes optoelectronic, electrical and thermal properties of the device. The research engineer will work closely with the semiconductor growth and processing engineers as well as test and packaging engineers to improve device performance.

Responsibilities
    Model optical, thermal, and electrical properties of GaAs and InP semiconductor based devices (with special focus on new VCSEL structures and VCSEL arrays). Test optical, thermal and electrical properties of new GaAs and InP semiconductor based devices (including design of test set-up). Analyze test data and work with wafer fab engineers to improve critical metrics of devices. Work with other engineers in a team to improve and understand device properties
Skills/Experience
  • Familiar with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling software (such as ANSYS or COMSOL)
  • Familiar with Matlab or Mathematica
  • Familiar with LabView
  • Familiar with a programming language such as VB or C (or its variants)
  • Strong in semiconductor device physics, particularly optoelectronic/photonic devices
  • Experience with growth, wafer processing, packaging, and testing is a plus
Education
  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Mechanical Engineering with 3 years experience in semiconductor device modeling
