Job description:

As a Silicon Engineering Manager you will be responsible for improving silicon-photonics yield and performance through data-driven analysis, cross-functional collaboration and proactive issue resolution.

You will serve as the key interface between R&D, Process and Production teams, ensuring efficient data flow, rapid issue identification and continuous process improvement across wafer fabrication, device testing, and packaging stages.

Responsibilities

• Perform silicon process and chip-level data analysis, establishing correlation between chip and wafer performance.
• Lead process debug and yield loss analysis at chip/wafer level, driving root cause investigations and corrective actions.
• Manage engineering approval forum to release production material.
• Collaborate closely with vendors to implement new product tests and resolve technical/process issues.
• Act as a key interface between design, testing, and production teams, ensuring alignment across the product lifecycle
• Oversee and coordinate the transfer of data related to silicon design, testing, fabrication, and characterization between Production and R&D departments.
• Develop and implement data management strategies to ensure data accuracy, security, and accessibility.
• Maintain proper documentation of data transfer protocols, version control, and data integrity checks.
• Support data analysis efforts to improve silicon performance, yield, and quality.
• Ensure compliance with company policies and industry standards related to data security and confidentiality.

Requirements

• B.Sc. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or a related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor or silicon-photonics process, test, or yield engineering.
• Proven experience performing silicon process and chip-level data analysis, establishing correlations between chip and wafer performance.
• Hands-on experience in process debug and yield loss analysis, including root cause investigations and implementation of corrective actions.
• Strong technical understanding of silicon device fabrication, testing and characterization processes.
• Experience coordinating data flow and communication between R&D and Production teams.
• Proficiency in data analysis and management tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, SQL, JMP).
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical and communication skills with attention to detail.
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional environment and manage multiple priorities.
