Job Summary

Engineers at IPG Photonics are developing all aspects of laser products and accessories to provide solutions for our customers. Our engineers apply their talents to build new products and systems from scratch to mass production. These challenges allow our teams to explore opportunities that continue to push our technology forward. The Epitaxial Engineer is responsible for the operation and maintenance of one or more Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) systems growing III-V semiconductors-based diode laser structures to support production and engineering development needs.

Job Function

• The Epitaxial Engineer will guide the installation of a brand new, state-of-the-art GaAlInAs - GaSb MBE system and develop growth process for quantum cascade diode lasers for midinfrared wavelength range.

• Work with senior engineers to sustain established growth processes and tools in the MBE department.

• Responsible for making continuous process improvements using IPG methodologies, implementing statistical controls for yield improvement, and cost reduction projects to completion.

• Responsibilities also include qualifying new tools for production including documentation and training/certification of operators, MBE system troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance.

Requirements

• PhD or MS in Materials Science, Physics, or Electrical Engineering and 5-year direct epitaxial experience is required (MOCVD or MBE).

• Must have extensive experience in the scientific and engineering aspects of compound semiconductor growth including material and structure characterization.

• Some experience growing III-V semiconductors-based diode laser structures by MBE (especially InP-based quantum cascade lasers and GaSb-based cascade diode lasers for midinfrared wavelength range) is preferable.

• Must have experience working with semiconductor materials, devices, vacuum, electronics, and computer skills.

• Some experience with processing and characterization of edge-emitting laser diodes is preferable.

• Must be self-motivated, take initiative, and be accountable.

• Effective communication skills and the ability to work in a team environment are required.

• Must be able to work flexible hours Monday through Friday 8 am- 6 pm
