We’re looking for a driven and collaborative Process Integration / Fab Start-Up engineer to join our PIC Product Integration Team.\nWe are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled engineer to lead the bring-up and qualification of a new Indium Phosphide (InP) photonics semiconductor fabrication facility. This role is critical to establishing high-yield, scalable, and reliable photonic device manufacturing processes in a cutting-edge fab environment. The ideal candidate will have experience with InP or compound semiconductor process development, fab tool qualification, and yield improvement.\nFab Bring-Up & Equipment Qualification: Support the start-up and drive the qualification of front-end and back-end process tools for InP-based photonic device fabrication. Work closely with process engineers and other internal stakeholders to meet process and equipment milestones.\nProcess Development & Integration: Develop and optimize process modules (etch, deposition, lithography, diffusion, metallization, etc.) for InP-based PICs (Photonic Integrated Circuits). Ensure process robustness and repeatability across the full device flow.\nYield & Reliability Engineering: Establish process monitoring metrics, inline metrology strategies, and SPC to drive yield improvement. Identify root causes of process excursions or device failures; lead corrective actions using FA tools and DOE methodology.\nCross-Functional Collaboration: Interface with device design, test, and packaging teams to ensure manufacturability and alignment on performance targets.\nDocumentation & Technology Transfer: Develop and maintain detailed process documentation, FMEA analyses, and qualification reports. Support the transfer of developed processes from R&D to pilot and volume production.\nBS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field.\nHands-on experience in compound semiconductor fabrication, with a strong preference for InP-based photonics.\nUnderstanding of semiconductor process integration, yield improvement methodologies, and cleanroom practices.\nExperience with fab tool bring-up and qualification, including troubleshooting and maintenance support.\nStrong problem-solving skills, with a data-driven mindset and familiarity with tools like JMP, Python and MES/SPC software packages.\nExperience with SPC, Design for Manufacturing (DfM), and six-sigma principles for continuous improvement is a plus.\nExcellent communication and teamwork skills; able to work in a fast-paced startup or ramp-up environment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2706,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Mobile Networks","Network Equipment","Optical Communications"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T13:22:23Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 358 · green card filings: 128","filings_12m":358,"filings_prev_12m":278,"green_card_filings_12m":128,"median_offered_wage_usd":147397,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-09T07:32:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.812,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":9,"reasons":["conf:2","win:mid","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T15:43:24Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nokia-pic-process-integration-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nokia-pic-process-integration-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T15:43:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22303,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":17345},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=17345"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnokia-pic-process-integration-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnokia-pic-process-integration-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnokia-pic-process-integration-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nokia-pic-process-integration-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnokia-pic-process-integration-engineer-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3964451}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nokia.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3964451},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
