Description

Join a fast-growing Process Development team pushing the boundaries of innovation in MicroLED and Optical Computing. Around 60% of your time will be spent in a state-of-the-art cleanroom advancing process development, and the other 40% on planning, analysing data, and presenting insights to management.

Key Responsibilities

You will work on all stages of process development, defining process architecture, developing process modules, working with process development tool owners to develop and optimise pixel performance.
Constantly seek out and implement opportunities for innovation and improvement in the products and processes.
Participate in risk assessments and design reviews.
Identify the requirements for new tooling to support the MicroLED and Optical Compute development roadmap, including defining process recipe specifications and aligning with the process tool owner.
Leverage your R&D and process development experience to drive progress within a high-performing, results-oriented team.
