MEMS Test and Verification Engineer

Employment Type:

Full-time, Existing vacancy

Location:

Ottawa, ON (Onsite)

This role supports both existing products and emerging market opportunities using MEMS technology, which has been the core of Lumentum’s WSS products for over 20 years.

• Develop, maintain, and improve MEMS wafer-level and device-level test and verification methods, including defining verification plans, test procedures, process flows, and acceptance criteria.
• Develop and sustain automation software for MEMS wafer test stations and related test platforms, including instrument drivers for SMUs, LCR meters, interferometers, cameras, motion stages, and other test equipment.
• Perform electrical, optical, mechanical, environmental, and functional testing of MEMS devices.
• Identify, document, and investigate device, process, test, hardware, software, and automation-related failures, and analyze test/failure data to determine trends, failure modes, root causes, and yield limiters.
• Collaborate with design, process, product, manufacturing, quality, and reliability teams to drive corrective actions, verify fixes, and improve test methods, verification coverage, failure detection, and diagnostic capability.
• Create wafer map visualizations, yield tracking dashboards, and data analysis tools to monitor performance, test coverage, failure Pareto trends, and manufacturing health.
• Validate new hardware and software deployments at manufacturing sites.
• Apply software development best practices, including design documentation, API documentation, unit testing, version control, and continuous integration.
• Prepare technical documentation, failure analysis summaries, verification reports, test summaries, and recommendations.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or related technical discipline.

• Experience with electrical probing, semiconductor testing, wafer-level testing, MEMS device characterization, and failure analysis, including developing or supporting automated test systems for these or related optical/precision electromechanical devices.
• Strong object‑oriented software development skills using C#, Python, or an equivalent language.
• Experience with , XML, MES, SVN, Git, CI/CD pipelines, Visual Studio, MS Build, .NET Framework, or multi-threaded applications.
• Knowledge of databases, statistical analysis, and data visualization tools such as SQL, Python/Pandas, JMP, Minitab, or equivalent.
• Ability to analyze test data, summarize failure modes, and support root‑cause investigations.
• Hands‑on experience with optical and electrical test and measurement equipment.
• Strong communication, documentation, organization, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to manage multiple high-priority tasks in an engineering and manufacturing environment.
• Experience with optical MEMS, WSS products, wafer sort, or production test environments.
• Experience with instrument automation using GPIB, VISA, SCPI, or similar protocols.
• Experience with motion control systems or precision alignment platforms.
• Familiarity with corrective action processes, test repeatability, gauge R&R, SPC, yield analysis, and design-of-experiments (DOE) methods.
• Experience with interferometry, microscopy, profilometry, SEM, FIB, X-ray, or other advanced semiconductor/MEMS failure analysis techniques.
• Experience supporting transfer of test methods from engineering development into manufacturing.

• Flexible time off
• Health and wellness benefits (physical and mental)
• Tuition reimbursement and career growth support
• Free gym, games room, prayer room
• Subsidized meals, free coffee/tea
• Employee stock options and incentive plans
