• 3+ years of hands-on experience in process development or integration of novel materials in a photonics or semiconductor environment, including planning and executing DOEs and translating results into process improvements.
• Solid grounding in integrated photonics device physics and semiconductor fabrication processes; background in organic electro-optics, organic photovoltaics, or organic electronics is a plus.
• Proven ability to work with external foundries or suppliers, defining project scope and technical requirements, driving the collaboration, and managing feedback loops.
• Experience with optical device characterization and testing is a plus.

You also bring the following personal qualities:

• Proactive, self-starting and hands-on. You take ownership of your work and consistently deliver high-quality results without waiting for detailed direction.
• Comfortable engaging as a technical peer with internal cross-functional teams and external engineering partners. and skilled at building productive, long-term working relationships with them.
• Able to work through complex technical trade-offs independently and communicate your reasoning clearly to any audience.
• Flexibility to pivot as priorities shift, picking up new responsibilities quickly and executing with the same commitment regardless of the task.
