Job Description for Semiconductor Process Engineer

AIM photonics is looking for a Semiconductor Packaging Engineer who will be hands-on working with advanced solder interconnect equipment and materials for the assembly of optoelectronic packages.

AIM Photonics is headquartered at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany, New York. The AIM Photonics Test Assembly and Packaging facility (TAP) is new state of the art electronic photonic packaging facility in Rochester, NY.

Photonics is an exciting area which is crucial for fast data demands by everyone. Photonic packaging is 90% of the cost of photonic products and can be a differentiator in the success of the final product.

Requirements:

Responsibilities for Semiconductor Packaging Process Engineer

• Develop interconnect processes and build heterogeneously integrated electronic and optoelectronic packages using state of the art equipment at TAP
• Run DOE experiments to find best machine parameters to achieve successful builds of advanced packages. Such processes include flip chip, solder attach, plasma cleaning, thermal compression bonding, additive printing and dispensing.
• Evaluate and qualify materials including solders used in electronic and optoelectronic packages as required by customers' application.
• Work with high precision equipment to build parts with good solder interconnect integrity and reliability.
• Perform continuous inspection, characterization and metrology of a process to make sure process is robust.
• Serve as liaison with marketing, vendors, purchasing and customer on technical information.
• Interpret failure analysis reports and cross-sections to understand solder joint integrity.
• Gather and analyze data; Conduct root cause and failure mode analysis to efficiently improve yields and device performance.

Minimum Requirements for Semiconductor Process Engineer

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineer, Materials Science, Engineering Physics, or equivalent (Master's Degree or PhD preferred)
• 3+ years of experience in fabrication, packaging or manufacturing of semiconductor devices.

Preferred Requirements for Semiconductor Process Engineer

• Strong understanding of engineering and materials science fundamentals and a demonstrated aptitude to learn.
• Experience in cleanroom, high precision equipment, inspection and characterization equipment in semiconductor assembly line.
• Experience in back-end assembly process including flip-chip bumping, thermal compression bonding and solder reflow will be highly desirable.
• Experience with flux and fluxless soldering of eutectic solder alloys and intermetallic formation.
• Experience with failure analysis of solder joints.
• Strict discipline to follow rules, specifications, have good attention to details as well as have good organization skills.
• DOE experience is a plus.
