Requirements: English
Company: DAS Photonics
Region: Valencian Community
About the role
DAS Photonics is building a new microfabrication facility for LNOI photonic devices and GaN-based power transistors, including hybrid integration using Micro Transfer Printing (TP). We are hiring skilled Process Engineers in the areas of:
- Photolithography
- Plasma Etching
- Wet Etching
- Thin Film Deposition
- Metallization
- MOCVD (GaN)
In this position, you will take part in equipment selection and acquisition, process development, and process flow definition. You will be a key bridge between device designers, equipment/facilities engineers, and integration teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development and optimization of advanced processes for LNOI photonics and GaN electronics.
- Define the process flow aligned with device specifications and fabrication capabilities.
- Collaborate with device designers to transfer concepts into process-compatible prototypes.
- Drive the evaluation, selection, and commissioning of fabrication tools.
- Set up process control protocols to ensure reliability and reproducibility.
- Troubleshoot and resolve deviations or failures in fabrication.
- Document and standardize procedures for repeatability and knowledge transfer.
- Provide mentorship to junior engineers and support training plans.
- Lead or contribute to R&D initiatives aligned with DASs roadmap.
- Maintain communication with suppliers and vendors regarding tool specs and performance.
Qualifications & Skills
- Degree in Materials Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, or related.
- Experience in micro/nanofabrication; compound semiconductors and/or photonic devices preferred.
- Strong hands-on expertise in at least one core area: lithography, etch, deposition, metalization, or MOCVD.
- Solid understanding of cleanroom practices and equipment operation.
- Familiarity with characterization tools (e.g., SEM, profilometry, AFM, reflectometry, particle monitoring).
- Ability to work independently and manage processes end-to-end.
- Experience in statistical process control (SPC), yield analysis, and root cause methodologies.
- Excellent communication skills in English (Spanish is a plus).
Desirable
- Knowledge of GaN HEMT processes or LNOI photonic integration.
- Experience with process transfer, scaling, or industrialization.
- Familiarity with hybrid integration (e.g., III-V on LNOI via TP).
