The 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 current and future generations of high‑speed optical networking semiconductor devices.

• Troubleshoot challenging performance and yield issues in the wafer fab.
• Investigate the reason and root cause for lots being put on hold.
• Assist with engineering tool qualifications.
• Provide support for engineers with failure analysis – visual inspections, CD‑SEM work, electrical IV sweeps, profilometer depth measurements, etc.
• Use Manufacturing Engineering System (MES) software to collect data, perform basic data analysis, and generate PowerPoint reports.
• Routine review of SPC charts and initial response for out‑of‑control events.
• Coordinate and follow the movement of qualification and development lots through fab, assembly, and test areas.
• Help to assure compliance with PIC product quality system.

• Willing to work in a clean‑room environment (semiconductor fab).
• Ability to perform wafer inspections and failure analysis using metrology tool sets (CD‑SEM, microscope, profilometer, FLM) and other methods.
• Ability to make engineering decisions under minimal supervision and support.

• Continuous learning opportunities.
• Well‑being programs to support mental and physical health.
• Opportunities to join and be supported by employee resource groups.
