About the Role
We are seeking a Photonics Data Analysis Engineer with 5–10 years of experience to join our team. This role focuses on analyzing large sets of photonic device, module, and system-level data to extract insights, improve performance, and drive product development. The ideal candidate combines strong data science skills with a solid understanding of photonics and semiconductor processes, and has experience collaborating with fab and design teams to optimize yield and performance.
Key Responsibilities
- Collect, process, and analyze data from photonic devices, modules, and systems (e.g., lasers, modulators, detectors, transceivers).
- Develop models and algorithms to evaluate device and system performance, reliability, and yield.
- Apply statistical and machine learning techniques to identify trends, correlations, and root causes of variability.
- Build dashboards, automated pipelines, and visualization tools for data monitoring and reporting.
- Collaborate with photonics design, test, and fab process engineering teams to understand design–process interactions.
Qualifications
Required:
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Photonics, Computer Science, Data Science, or related field.
- 5–10 years of industry experience in data analysis, photonics, or semiconductor manufacturing.
- Strong background in data analysis, statistics, six-sigma, and signal processing.
- Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, R, or similar analysis tools.
- Experience with JMP or similar software package for statistical analysis and Design of Experiments (DOE) in yield and process optimization.
- Knowledge of photonics or optical communication systems.
- Experience working with cross-functional teams including fab and design groups.
Preferred:
- Experience with machine learning (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
- Hands-on experience with photonics testing, optical alignment, electrical probing, and or related optical/electrical measurement equipment (e.g., laser, power meter, SMUs, OSA, reflectometer, oscilloscope, ESA) BERT, interferometers).
- Familiarity with semiconductor device manufacturing, fab processes, and test data analysis.
- Experience with cloud-based data platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Experience with SQL or noSQL databases.
