Seeking a Principal Process Development Engineer with deep expertise in process development, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, hands-on experience with advanced fabrication and characterization techniques, and a proven ability to lead cross-functional R&D initiatives. Join a fast-growing Process Development team pushing the boundaries of innovation in MicroLED and Optical Computing. Around 60% of your time will be spent in a state-of-the-art cleanroom advancing process development, and the other 40% on planning, analysing data, and presenting insights to management.

Lead the development and optimisation of fabrication processes for MicroLED and Optical Computing devices. You will work on all stages of process development, defining process architecture, developing process modules, working with process development tool owners to develop and optimise pixel performance. Constantly seek out and implement opportunities for innovation and improvement in the products and processes.

Participate in risk assessments and design reviews.
