Staff Product Engineer, SiPh

Overview
Product engineering plays a critical role in delivering high-quality connectivity products to the market. As a Product Engineer, you will:

1. Define and develop test programs for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and optical engines.

2. Own the definition and optimization of manufacturing flows and test content for quality and cost efficiency.

3. Collaborate with design and firmware/controls teams on DFx features.

4. Analyze production data to identify issues and drive cross-functional solutions.

This position requires close partnership with fab, design, packaging, validation, and manufacturing teams to bring best-in-class connectivity products to market.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain test programs; own the success of test insertions in the manufacturing flow.

• Define requirements for test hardware (probe cards and loadboards) to achieve target test coverage.

• Establish manufacturing strategy and test flow to meet product health indicators.

• Collaborate with design and firmware teams to implement DFT/DFx features.

• Reduce test time and eliminate redundant test sockets to achieve cost targets.

• Improve product quality by driving DPM (defects per million) reduction through enhanced test coverage.

• Improve yield by identifying root causes of failures and working with design, fab, and packaging teams to close gaps.

Basic Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field.

• 3+ years of experience in PIC/SiPh product development and test.

• 6+ years of industry experience as a product development engineer.

• Hands-on experience developing test programs and specifying test hardware for optical communications products.

• Deep understanding of photonic device theory of operation and photonics fabrication processes.

• Experience collaborating with fabs and OSAT partners to drive yield and quality improvements in photonic products.

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly present complex technical information.

Preferred Qualifications

• PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field.

• Experience establishing end-to-end manufacturing strategies for photonic integrated circuits.

• Experience developing test programs for optical I/O products on industry-standard ATE platforms.

• Demonstrated ability to influence senior leadership and external customers.

• Familiarity with photonic simulation environments (Python, MATLAB, Verilog) to anticipate design marginalities and discrepancies before silicon release.
