Compound-Semiconductor Fabrication Process Engineer – MIT Lincoln Laboratory – Lexington, MA

The Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group is seeking a fabrication process engineer with experience in the fabrication, packaging, and characterization of compound-semiconductor optoelectronic components and photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Material systems under development include InP, GaAs, GaN, and their associated ternary and quaternary compositions. Example components include high-power diode lasers and optical amplifiers, single-photon emitters, high-current waveguide photodiodes, wideband optical modulators, and arrays of these components. PICs will be realized using both monolithic and hybrid integration techniques. The candidate will work closely with other Staff to develop advanced components, circuits, and subsystems, and to apply them to solve problems in the national interest.

Requirements:

• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics, Chemistry or related field with 2 or more years’ experience in the fabrication of compound-semiconductor-based devices or integrated circuits.
• Must have hands-on experience with multiple compound-semiconductor fabrication processes (e.g., lithography, wet etching, reactive-ion etching, sputtering and e-beam deposition of metal and dielectric materials, wafer and device cleaving).
• Must exhibit a detailed understanding of the interplay between material properties, fabrication processes, and device performance.
• Knowledge of chemistry, electrical and optical characterization techniques, packaging techniques, and epitaxial material growth is desirable.
• Experience in both research laboratory and industrial production environments is also desirable.
• Candidate must have excellent documentation and communication skills, and be able to work both independently and in a dynamic multi-disciplined team environment.
