Position overview

We are seeking a senior engineer to lead the development of advanced optoelectronic measurement systems for semiconductor test and photonics engineering applications. This role focuses on automated measurement platforms used for electro-optic characterization, wafer-level metrology, and high-volume manufacturing environments. You will define and deploy robust semiconductor measurement architectures that integrate instrumentation control, data infrastructure, and AI-enabled optimization to support production-ready semiconductor and quantum device workflows

Responsibilities

• Define the end-to-end system architecture, specifying how AI agents interface with customer hardware, data infrastructure, and EDA workflows
• Lead the technical integration of sub-systems (instrument drivers, algorithms, database layers) to ensure they function as a cohesive, fault-tolerant product
• Specify and drive system-level KPIs (e.g., measurement throughput, latency, thermal stability, data integrity, failure rates) across the team.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for key customers. Translate their requirements into engineering tasks
• Lead the deployment and commissioning of our systems at customer facilities and ensure smooth integration with their existing tool chains.
• Gather user feedback to inform the product roadmap and prioritize R&D efforts.
• Drive integration between measurement software, instrument control layers, and modelling or design tools
• Define product interfaces and abstractions that enable scalable deployment across diverse hardware environments
• Establish best practices for applying agentic AI to high-stakes physical experimentation and manufacturing environments
  
  

Requirements

• M.S. or PhD in Engineering (electrical or mechanical), Applied Physics or equivalent industry experience
• 7+ years of hands-on engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a system-level or customer-facing technical role
• 5+ years of professional experience in quantum technologies, semiconductor process control, photonics, or related domains
• 3+ years of experience in automation of measurements and data analysis
• Deep familiarity with semiconductor test flows (Wafer Acceptance Test, reliability testing, screening), especially related to electro-optic characterization
• Demonstrated experience working with external clients, partners, or vendors
• Experience technically leading a small, cross-functional team (reviewing code, setting timelines, unblocking architectural disputes).
• Familiarity with machine learning or AI approaches applied to scientific or engineering problems
• Strong communication skills and experience working across research, product, and industry boundaries
  
  

Nice to have

• Experience working directly with semiconductor companies, foundries, and R&D partners
• Experience with formal systems engineering methodologies
• Experience with agentic AI frameworks and tooling
• Experience with high volume manufacturing environments
• Experience in autonomous experimentation, closed-loop optimization, or self-driving lab concepts
• Track record of translating research systems into deployed products
• Familiarity with modern software engineering best practices for scientific or industrial systems
• High agency: self-starter, no task too large or too small attitude.
