Position Summary

A global leader in advanced photonics and semiconductor technologies is seeking a Lead Engineer, InP Laser Development & New Product Introduction to join its growing R&D organization in Fremont, California.

This role will focus on the design and development of high-power Indium Phosphide (InP) semiconductor lasers used in next-generation optical communications and AI-driven data center infrastructure. The successful candidate will take ownership of laser design activities from concept through fabrication, characterization, qualification, and new product introduction while working closely with internal engineering teams, manufacturing partners, customers, and suppliers.

This is a highly visible opportunity for an engineer who enjoys hands-on device development, technical leadership, and solving complex challenges at the forefront of optical networking technology.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the design and development of InP-based semiconductor lasers for high-speed data communication applications
Own critical aspects of laser development including device architecture, grating design, epitaxy, coatings, and performance optimization
Utilize simulation tools to identify key design parameters and establish performance and yield targets
Develop and execute design of experiments (DOE) to accelerate device development and process optimization
Support wafer fabrication launches and coordinate activities across development and manufacturing teams
Design and implement electrical and optical characterization methodologies to evaluate device performance
Analyze fabrication and performance data using statistical methods and engineering tools
Drive technical coordination across epitaxy, wafer fabrication, assembly, packaging, and test organizations
Manage project schedules, milestones, documentation, and technical deliverables
Translate customer requirements into product specifications and development objectives
Interface directly with customers, suppliers, and external partners on both technical and business-related matters

Required Qualifications

M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optoelectronics, or a related discipline
Ph.D. preferred
3–5+ years of industry experience in semiconductor lasers, photonics, optoelectronics, or related technologies
Strong understanding of semiconductor physics, laser physics, and device operating principles
Experience with semiconductor device characterization including electrical and optical measurements
Working knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes with hands-on development experience preferred
Familiarity with Design of Experiments (DOE) methodologies
Strong analytical and statistical data analysis skills
Excellent project management, organization, and technical documentation capabilities
Strong communication and collaboration skills within cross-functional engineering environments

Preferred Qualifications

Direct experience developing InP-based semiconductor laser products
Experience with device simulation and modeling tools
Background supporting new product introduction and product commercialization
Experience working with optical communications, datacom, networking, or AI infrastructure technologies
Exposure to epitaxy, wafer fabrication, assembly, packaging, and semiconductor test processes
Experience interacting directly with customers and external technology partners

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate combines strong technical depth with the ability to lead complex development programs and drive results across multiple engineering disciplines.

This person enjoys working hands-on with advanced semiconductor devices while also managing projects, coordinating stakeholders, and influencing technical direction. They thrive in fast-paced development environments and are motivated by seeing innovative technologies move from concept into production.

Candidates from photonics, optical communications, semiconductor laser, or advanced optoelectronics backgrounds will be particularly well aligned.

Why This Opportunity

Opportunity to develop industry-leading InP laser technologies that power global communications networks
Direct impact on next-generation AI infrastructure, hyperscale data centers, and optical networking platforms
Work on products that have enabled more than 100 million deployed optical devices worldwide
Join a highly experienced and collaborative semiconductor R&D team
Significant technical ownership and visibility across the product development lifecycle
Exposure to customers, suppliers, and strategic technology initiatives
Strong career growth opportunities within a global technology leader
Competitive compensation, bonus opportunity, and comprehensive benefits package
