WHO WE ARE

At Enablence USA Components, we’re pushing the boundaries of optical innovation. As a leading provider of planar lightwave circuit (PLC)-based photonic components, we enable the future of high-speed networks, data centers, and next-generation telecom. Our thin film technology is a cornerstone of our product strategy—and we’re looking for a passionate engineer to help us take it to the next level.

THE ROLE

We are seeking a Senior / Principal / Process Engineer – Thin Film & Annealing who thrives on solving complex problems and driving production excellence. This is a high-impact role in our wafer fabrication team, focused on the development, optimization, and scaling of thin film deposition processes that are critical to our optical devices.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead and optimize thin film deposition and annealing processes (PECVD, PVD, ALD, High Temperature Annealing) for performance, yield, and reliability
• Develop and characterize thin film stacks used in photonic integrated circuits
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, packaging, test, quality, industrial engineer and operations) to integrate thin film and annealing processes into new and existing products
• Support NPI (New Product Introduction) efforts with process development, DOEs, and transfer to production
• Drive root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for process excursions and yield issues using standard methodologies (PDCA, DMAIC, 8D, etc.)
• Work hands-on with fab tools, metrology systems (ellipsometry, profilometry, SEM, etc.) and automation
• Set up and perform related metrology calibration and GR&R study as required
• Set up, monitor and revise SPC charts and related Cpk for critical process parameters
• Propose and execute continuous improvement initiatives to enhance throughput, cost, process stability & robustness and quality
• Initiate new, review, revise and update related process documents for operations, recipe and tool calibration
• Execute initial training and certification for process techs for related processes
