What You'll Do
- Support installation and development of wafer & module level custom test solutions for high-speed, photonic integrated circuits (PIC) built on commercially available ATEs.
- Interface with GF internal & client design teams to define product test requirements, help design hardware consisting of probe cards & probe interface boards, and enhance programs to test PICs, which may contain a combination of high-speed, RF and optical circuits.
- Collaborate across internal functional teams to bring development solutions to high-volume manufacturing and to drive continued yield improvements.
- Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
What We're Looking For
- MSc in Physics, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science.
- 3+ years' experience developing test solutions for high-speed, RF/mmWave, electro-optic products on Advantest 93K or Teradyne Ultra-Flex Test platforms.
- 3+ years' experience in characterization techniques for S-Parameter and Optical measurements.
- 3+ PCB board design with emphasis on high-speed, low noise and matching techniques.
- 3+ years' of direct design experience in electro-optic applications such as modulators, Lidar, or multiplexing circuits.
- Theoretical knowledge and 3+ years' experience using Electro-Magnetic simulation tools.
- Strong hands-on engineering with excellent debugging skills.
- Object-Oriented Programming in a Linux environment.
- Advanced understanding of silicon photonic, high-speed & mm-wave circuit design.
- Proficient communication skills both written & verbal.
- Demonstrated analytical & positive thinking, desire to innovate, accountability for your work and people skills.
Nice to Have
- PhD in Physics or Electrical Engineering.
- Experience working in a cleanroom environment.
- Fluency in shell scripting, multi-paradigm (Matlab/R) and high-level programming languages (Python/Perl) for automation and statistical data analysis.
- Mastery of verbal and written communication to successfully interact with highly technical teams, engage with highly versed clients and to provide documentation of the highest quality.
- Embrace the “push the envelope” approach, while living naturally-curious lives and enjoying the process to venture into uncharted waters.
