Location: Albany, NY Category: Engineering Posted On: Fri Jan 10 2025 Job Description: Job Description for 3D/Heterogeneous Integration Engineer JOB SUMMARY NY CREATES is looking for an experienced 3D/Heterogeneous Integration Engineer to support the AIM Photonics program. This position will be focused on development activities for next generation and custom silicon photonics and microelectronics technologies, including 3D & heterogeneous integration, interposers, and new material integration. While much of this position's effort will revolve around building 3D/HI products using NY CREATES 300mm Si and C4 fabs, there may also be a need for feasibility testing or chip-scale processing at other internal or external partner facilities. Furthermore, the novel nature of this group's work requires hands-on simulation, design, processing, inspection, testing, and/or development. You must be a self-starter who can identify problems early and drive solutions with cross-functional teams. Job responsibilities include, but are not limited to: + Development of 3D/HI processes and technologies from conceptualization, to simulation, design, process development, integration, testing, and delivery of hardware. + Interacting with customers or development partners to understand the specific requirements of a project and to update on challenges, risks, and progress. + Coordinating with vendors, such as the mask house, packaging, and any outsourced processes. + Integration support for the 3D/HI AIM Photonics programs. + Writing reports, papers, and/or patents as appropriate. + Other reasonable duties as assigned. Job Requirements: Minimum Requirements for 3D/Heterogenous Integration Engineer + B.S. degree in Physics, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent Engineering and/or Science discipline from a college or University accredited by the USDOE or internationally recognized accrediting organization AND five (5) years relevant experience.
