Every AI data centre being built right now needs lasers, and a lot of those lasers start life as indium phosphide wafers in a fab in the English Midlands.
A global leader in optical and photonic products is scaling its UK InP fab to keep up with AI demand: more lines, bigger wafers, and a shift from R&D-style working to high-volume manufacturing. They need a Director to lead the process integration team at the centre of it.
What you’ll be doing
* Leading a team of process integration engineers developing new and improved InP wafer processes for lasers and photonic integrated circuits
* Integrating new process steps into full wafer flows and transferring them into production
* Driving yield, cost and cycle time, and leading the deep-dive investigations when things go wrong
* Planning programmes with R&D and operations, and presenting progress to senior leadership
* Helping scale the fab: duplicating lines, moving to larger wafer sizes, and choosing new tools
You’ll probably have
* 10+ years in III-V or semiconductor wafer processing: lithography, etch, deposition, implant and full-flow integration
* Experience leading engineering teams and bridging R&D and manufacturing
* A track record of improving yield in a production fab
* A degree in physics, electronic engineering, materials science or similar (a PhD is a plus)
You don’t need a background in optoelectronics. Strong compound semiconductor or silicon process leaders are very welcome.
The details: a permanent, on-site Director role in the UK Midlands with some international travel to sister sites. Competitive salary and benefits. The site isn’t easy to reach by public transport, so you’ll need to be able to drive there.
