Principal Process Engineer, Photolithography

Skorpios Technologies, Inc an innovator in composite silicon photonic technology and semiconductor development, is rapidly expanding. We are in search of motivated and innovative senior level engineers to develop leading-edge technology solutions in a challenging and fast-paced environment. MS, and Ph.D. (EE, ME, Physics, Material Science, or related fields) are sought to work on design development and commercialization of integrated nanoscale opto-electronic, and photonic devices and systems. Suitable backgrounds include: Opto-electronic device design, nanophotonics, silicon photonics, III-V materials, laser design, RF-circuits, silicon based circuit design and transistors, and Opto-electronic device packaging. Commercial experience highly preferred. The Photolithography Process Development Engineer is responsible to help support the development of manufacturable, repeatable, and high yielding processes for state-of-the-art highly specialized devices in the fields of Aerospace, Defense, Bioelectronics, and High-Speed Communications. The Photolithography Process Development Engineer must have a very hands-on mindset and be an excellent communicator.

Processing experience in a fab in the areas of Photolithography using DUV scanners and I-line steppers is a must. Processing experience with thick resists and polyimides is a plus.

Self-starter PrioritizationAccountabilityInnovativeSupervisory Responsibilities NoneWork Environment 80%+ of work is performed in the Fab, which is a temperature-controlled cleanroom environment that requires the use of a full-body gown, over-boots, over-hood, safety glasses, and other PPE.
