We're looking for a driven and collaborative Process Integration / Fab Start-Up engineer to join our PIC Product Integration Team.We are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled engineer to lead the bring-up and qualification of a new Indium Phosphide (InP) photonics semiconductor fabrication facility. This role is critical to establishing high-yield, scalable, and reliable photonic device manufacturing processes in a cutting-edge fab environment. The ideal candidate will have experience with InP or compound semiconductor process development, fab tool qualification, and yield improvement.Key ResponsibilitiesFab Bring-Up & Equipment Qualification: Support the start-up and drive the qualification of front-end and back-end process tools for InP-based photonic device fabrication. Work closely with process engineers and other internal stakeholders to meet process and equipment milestones.Process Development & Integration: Develop and optimize process modules (etch, deposition, lithography, diffusion, metallization, etc.) for InP-based PICs (Photonic Integrated Circuits). Ensure process robustness and repeatability across the full device flow.Yield & Reliability Engineering: Establish process monitoring metrics, inline metrology strategies, and SPC to drive yield improvement. Identify root causes of process excursions or device failures; lead corrective actions using FA tools and DOE methodology.Cross-Functional Collaboration: Interface with device design, test, and packaging teams to ensure manufacturability and alignment on performance targets.Documentation & Technology Transfer: Develop and maintain detailed process documentation, FMEA analyses, and qualification reports. Support the transfer of developed processes from R&D to pilot and volume production.Education & Experience RequirementsBS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field.Hands-on experience in compound semiconductor fabrication, with a strong preference for InP-based photonics.Understanding of semiconductor process integration, yield improvement methodologies, and cleanroom practices.Experience with fab tool bring-up and qualification, including troubleshooting and maintenance support.Strong problem-solving skills, with a data-driven mindset and familiarity with tools like JMP, Python and MES/SPC software packages.Experience with SPC, Design for Manufacturing (DfM), and six-sigma principles for continuous improvement is a plus.Excellent communication and teamwork skills; able to work in a fast-paced startup or ramp-up environment.What We OfferA chance to contribute to cutting-edge photonic technologies in a globally recognized company.A collaborative, innovative work environment with multidisciplinary technical teams.The opportunity to directly impact the development of high-performance optical networking solutions at Nokia.If you're passionate about advancing optical communication technology and eager to tackle challenging technical problems in PIC development, we invite you to apply.","company":"Infinera","rawCompany":"infinera","city":"Sunnyvale","state":"CA","isRemote":false,"isActive":true,"createdAt":"2026-08-13T04:08:01.753Z","occupations":[{"code":"17-2199.07","title":"Photonics Engineers","slug":"photonics-engineers"},{"code":"51-9141.00","title":"Semiconductor Processing Technicians","slug":"semiconductor-processing-technicians"},{"code":"17-2112.03","title":"Manufacturing Engineers","slug":"manufacturing-engineers"}],"industries":[{"code":"334413","title":"Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing","slug":"semiconductor-and-related-device-manufacturing"},{"code":"334419","title":"Other Electronic Component Manufacturing","slug":"other-electronic-component-manufacturing"},{"code":"334418","title":"Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing","slug":"printed-circuit-assembly-electronic-assembly-manufacturing"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"PIC Process Integration Engineer","description":"PIC Process Integration EngineerThe Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) group at Nokia is at the forefront of developing and producing the chips that power our terabit-scale digital optical transport networks.
