Pilot Line Process Integration Lead

In the position as Staff Research Engineer you are the central technical interface across SAL's technology platforms and pilot-line activities. You ensure coherent end-to-end process flows, strong documentation and traceability, and effective coordination between R&D teams, pilot-line technical leads, and SAL MicroFab. You also support external requests by translating them into executable technical scopes.

Your future tasks include:

• Cross-platform process integration: maintain an end-to-end overview of process flows and module interfaces across integrated photonics, MEMS and related technology stacks.
• Baseline flows & readiness: define and maintain reference flows versus development lanes; support readiness reviews and ensure clear release criteria.
• Process change control & documentation discipline: ensure recipe/version control, run cards, parameter windows, and structured documentation.
• Know-how capture: support structured capture of process know-how and clarify what can be shared externally vs protected.
• Traceability / data backbone: ensure wafer genealogy, run history, recipe versions, and measurement linkage are consistently captured.
• Coordination interface: act as the key technical coordination contact with SAL MicroFab to align run readiness and documentation requirements.
• Stability & continuous improvement: drive variability reduction and improvement loops, and feed improvements back into baseline flows.
• External request support: translate external requests into executable technical scopes matching platform capability.

Your profile:

• Proven experience (min. 8+ years) in semiconductor process integration and wafer fab execution.
• MSc/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Microsystems, or comparable.
• Strong understanding of thin-film and microfabrication process flows and interface points.
• Demonstrated strength in documentation discipline; experience with traceability/MES workflows is a plus.
• Structured, data-driven problem solving (variability/yield thinking, root-cause analysis).
• Strong communication and coordination skills across technical teams; comfortable interfacing with external partners.
• Fluent English; German is a plus.
