The InP Process Engineering Manager is a highly technical semiconductor manufacturing leadership role responsible for leading a team of process engineers and technicians supporting Indium Phosphide (InP) semiconductor laser manufacturing operations. This position will oversee process sustaining, yield improvement, process development, and technical troubleshooting activities within a high-volume semiconductor production environment.

This is a deeply hands‑on engineering leadership role requiring a strong technical expert who can actively engage on the manufacturing floor to resolve complex process issues, drive root‑cause investigations, and support process optimization initiatives. The ideal candidate will bring extensive InP semiconductor process experience combined with the ability to mentor engineers, prioritize technical activities, and lead fast‑paced operational execution.

This role plays a critical part in supporting advanced optoelectronic and photonics technologies tied to AI, telecommunications, and next‑generation semiconductor applications.

• Lead and supervise a team of process engineers and technicians supporting InP semiconductor manufacturing operations
• Drive process sustaining, process development, and yield improvement initiatives across multiple semiconductor process areas
• Support daily process hold/release activities while minimizing production downtime and hold durations
• Lead root‑cause investigations and corrective action implementation for process excursions and yield issues
• Provide hands‑on technical troubleshooting support directly on the manufacturing floor
• Support and optimize InP semiconductor laser fabrication processes including regrowth preparation, mesa etching, dielectric etching, facet passivation, and related process areas
• Utilize statistical analysis and process control methodologies to improve manufacturing yield and process stability
• Align engineering priorities and technical activities with operational and organizational goals
• Mentor, coach, and develop engineering team members while assessing technical competency and performance
• Collaborate closely with Process Integration, Manufacturing, Equipment Engineering, Operations, and Leadership teams
• Support both production manufacturing and new product introduction (NPI) process development initiatives
• Establish priorities and allocate engineering resources to support manufacturing execution and long‑term process improvement objectives
• Serve as a technical representative for the engineering organization in both internal and external communications
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on yield enhancement, throughput improvement, and operational efficiency

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or related technical discipline strongly preferred
• Master’s or Bachelor’s degree with strong relevant semiconductor manufacturing experience also considered
• 5+ years of semiconductor process, fabrication, integration, or manufacturing engineering experience within high‑volume semiconductor operations
• Strong hands‑on experience supporting III‑V semiconductor manufacturing processes
• Direct experience with InP semiconductor laser fabrication processes strongly preferred
• Strong technical troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis capabilities within manufacturing environments
• Experience leading engineers or technical teams within semiconductor manufacturing organizations
• Strong understanding of semiconductor process control, yield improvement methodologies, and manufacturing problem‑solving
• Ability to work effectively in high‑pressure manufacturing environments with urgent operational priorities
• Strong communication, leadership, and cross‑functional collaboration…
