Pilot Line PDK & Design Enablement Lead (all genders)
- Cross-platform process integration: maintain an end-to-end overview of process flows and module interfaces (e.g., thin films, lithography, etch, metrology closure) across integrated photonics, MEMS and related technology stacks.
- Baseline flows & readiness: define and maintain reference flows versus development lanes; support readiness reviews and ensure clear release criteria for stable execution.
- Process change control & documentation discipline: ensure recipe/version control, run cards, parameter windows, and structured documentation of decisions and learnings.
- Know-how capture: support structured capture of process know-how and clarify what can be shared externally vs protected, in collaboration with responsible functions.
- Traceability / data backbone: ensure wafer genealogy, run history, recipe versions, and measurement linkage are consistently captured to build a scalable single source of truth.
- Coordination interface: act as the key technical coordination contact with SAL MicroFab to align run readiness, documentation requirements, execution constraints, and release criteria (without owning MicroFab operations).
- Stability & continuous improvement: drive variability reduction and improvement loops (metrology closure, deviation handling, root-cause analysis) and feed improvements back into baseline flows and documentation.
- External request (open access): support business development and pilot-line teams by translating external requests into executable technical scopes (capability check, feasibility, assumptions/risks, measurement package, deliverables) and matching requests to the right platform capability.
