A challenging position in a leading and high potential company in the field of Integrated photonics

You offer a great understanding of best practice and technologies to enhance our ICT infrastructure, constantly be challenging the existing infrastructure being used within the organisation to ensure SMART Photonics and its team members are being equipped with the best possible ICT solutions.

Open to a job in in which you are challenged to solve complex, high tech design problems? Interested to be as close to the technology as possible in our InP foundry?

When you enjoy working in a cleanroom and combine Characterization, Processing and understand the principles of Test & Measurement this role fits you perfect. You fabricate, improve, and release our building blocks to broaden the PDK and offer our customers multiple options to finetune their chips.

Starting from rock bottom to build a solid foundation on which our future procurement department can grow! As mature strategic procurement lead you are willing to start with a practical and broad assignment, during time this role evolves towards building your own department and growing a team.  

Interested to be as close to the technology as possible in the only InP foundry? As our Simulation Engineer you offer solid experience in device physics, Thermal Modelling, RF and Physics Modelling.

SMART Photonics has a 24/7 running fab and after our shifts are all in a 5-shift scheme we also need more dedicated technicians able to solve issues, support and assistance in the shifts  so we can expand our production, and become less depended on the engineers in the dayshifts. With this in mind we are recruiting Technician in our Test Team.  You will become the support for the Test and Measurement team. In this position you support with operational tasks, several testing procedures on wafer, bar and die level and report on this. You are responsible of the overview of your own projects, collect and analyse the data, share outcomes with your team.

the current team exists out of 4 engineers and 2 technicians, some very senior in their expertise. They need some-one to guide them towards becoming a more mature department. Next steps are a more strategical (long term) approach, better priority setting, presenting the department towards senior leadership, new tools and software to decide on, etc. This position offers growth to managerial level if you are able to deliver above.

Smart Photonics is hiring a Project Lead for our internal organisation with a focus on the PDK and the building blocks.  The position has a strong technical scope while offering you the opportunity to lead projects, guide technical decisions and become more involved in long term strategy. An excellent opportunity for engineers who wants to explore the next steps in their career.

Als process technician breng je ruime ervaring mee en ben je bekend met wafer productie en cleanroom werk! Op onze beurt waarderen we jouw kennis en bieden we een divers en uitdagend takenpakket. De vrijheid om steeds meer eigen intitiatief te nemen en de complexe techniek eigen te maken. 

The European Union announces the European Chips Act in which they invest 43 billion Euros to strengthen its position as a technological leader in the semiconductor value chain. We expect huge expansion next year as result of this deal. Our Engineering team is preparing for the next steps to take and remain in lead of the PDK design. To be Ready for this we are recruiting an experienced Integration PDK engineer with a focus on the integration of our designs.   It will become your responsibility to develop and improve our automation tools, which are contributing to verify and test the new building blocks (BB) and PDK’s. In the meanwhile, you are also challenged to act as owner of the release, to analyse the data and draft the design manual. You are in lead of the overview of your own projects, collect and analyse the data, share outcomes with cross sectorial teams and assess new designs.

Last week the European Union announces the European Chips Act in which they invest 43 billion Euros to strengthen its position as a technological leader in the semiconductor value chain.

An eye for technical details while keeping in mind the bigger picture. This diverse and dynamic problem-solving position offers you a wide scope in leading the resolution of multidisciplinary manufacturing issues of InP photonics wafers and devices. It is covering the triage, analysis, investigation, and resolution of process issues involving various disciplines including design, process, measurement and inspection. This means you need to able to thoroughly analyse and draw conclusions from the data and identify the areas to be further investigated.

To achieve our ambitions, we need our cleanroom to be managed while keeping the facilities operational and maintaining a safe working environment for process engineers, operators, and R&D engineers of SMART Photonics.

Sinds juni 2021 zijn we overgegaan naar het 5-ploegen systeem en werken onze operators dag en nacht om de productie van onze wafer te begeleiden. Als shift lead ben je verantwoordelijk voor je eigen ploeg, het naleven van de afspraken, en het zorgdragen dat de men in alle rust en nauwkeurigheid het werk kan doen is hierin uitermate belangrijk.

In our ambition to become the leading integrated photonics foundry, we work hard to expand our production capacity and to push the boundaries of our technology. We invest in equipment, machines, people and teams, to increase productivity and improve quality. This enables our customers to thrive based on the latest cutting-edge technology in Photonics. To grow the Process Engineering team we are recruiting 2;
