Manufacturing Engineer

Process Integration Engineer - Weekend Shift

Nokia Inc in Sunnyvale, CA has a wafer fab that conducts R&D and production of state‑of‑the‑art indium phosphide (InP) photonic integrated circuit (PIC) semiconductor chips. The wafer fab operates 24x7 and provides an opportunity for integration technicians to improve quality and reduce defects. Nokia's fab processes include photolithography, wet etch, plasma etch, metal deposition, and chemical vapor deposition. Integration engineers and technicians advance the performance and yield of Nokia's high‑speed optical networking semiconductor devices.

Nokia's culture supports strong teamwork and excellent training by co‑workers.

In the position of Process Integration Engineer, you will ensure high quality and reliability of InP‑based PIC products through extensive experiments and data analysis. You will have the opportunity to help bring up our new high‑volume fab in San Jose, CA, and work with various functional teams to troubleshoot and improve wafer fabrication processes and drive improvements in yield and reliability.

• Troubleshoot challenging performance and yield issues in the wafer fab
• Investigate the reason and root cause for lots being put on hold
• Provide support for engineers with failure analysis – visual inspections, CD‑SEM work, electrical IV sweeps, profilometer depth measurements, etc.
• Use MES software to collect data, perform basic data analysis, generate PowerPoint reports, etc.
• Routine review of SPC charts and initial response for out‑of‑control events
• Coordinate and follow movement of qual and development lots through fab, assembly, and test areas
• Manage quality and yield of PIC wafers based on knowledge of fab processes, device physics, and analysis of test and reliability data
• Troubleshoot and resolve process deviations and test failures through a detailed analysis of test data and process history
• Establish and maintain inline fab process specifications
• Support Process Engineering to improve process stability and capability
• Support Operations to improve throughput and cycle time
• Support next‑generation PIC platform development and participate in technology development, transfer, and ramp activities to meet yield, reliability and device performance goals
• Help to assure compliance with PIC product quality system
• Work hours:
