Description

We are seeking a driven microLED Layout Engineer to lead layout design for new microLED products. In this role, you will work with process integration engineers and other stakeholders to create multi‑layer layouts for both prototype and mass‑production devices. An ideal candidate will be both expert in mask layout and embrace opportunities to collaborate with other teams including process engineering, metrology, reliability, and marketing.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and optimize multi‑layer mask layouts for semiconductor processing using industry‑standard tools
• Generate GDS layout files and ensure compatibility with fab processing capabilities
• Collaborate with process integration engineers to define mask sets for new microLED products and iterate on masks to support changes in fab processing
• Balance input from stakeholders across various functions (e.g., process integration, EL testing, reliability engineering) to create usable mask layouts on the first iteration
• Understand processing limitations (e.g. lithography resolution) that have an impact on layout design to ensure that taped‑out masks are aligned with fab processing capabilities

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field
• 5+ years of hands‑on experience creating multi‑layer mask layouts for semiconductor products, in particular optoelectronic products
• Experience using Cadence Virtuoso or similar mask layout software
• Strong communication skills. Ability to summarize findings into clear, actionable reports for cross‑functional teams.
• Willingness and ability to travel internationally to collaborate with foundry partners

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a relevant field of study or equivalent experience
• Familiarity with microLED or LED device architectures and pixel‑level design elements
• Understanding of semiconductor wafer process flows and module level processing
• Experience debugging individual mask layers to correct fabrication issues.
• Experience testing microLEDs or working with electroluminescence testing teams
• Proficiency with data analysis and statistical analysis software (e.g., JMP, Minitab, Python, MATLAB)
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
