Mask data Engineer - Integrated Photonics (ID 2403)

LIGENTEC is a fast-growing European company with headquarter in Lausanne, Switzerland. Since 2021 we expanded our manufacturing capabilities by creating LIGENTEC France, in the South of Paris. We specialize in the design & manufacturing of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for customers in high-tech areas such as Quantum Technologies, LiDAR, Space Technologies, and Biosensors.

LIGENTEC All-Nitride (AN) technology enables our customers to develop their products in the Industrial Revolution 4.0.

You are about to enter this unique opportunity to bring R&D to product.

To support our continued growth, we are looking for a:

Mask data Engineer- Integrated Photonics

Tasks

  • Mask Frame and Layout: Develop and optimise mask frame based on layouts, ensuring alignment with lithography requirements and process capabilities.
  • Data Preparation: Convert photonic IC design data into mask data, including layer generation, OPC (Optical Proximity Correction), and layer translation, ensuring high precision and compatibility with lithography equipment.
  • Verification and Validation: Perform rigorous checks on mask data using tools such as DRC (Design Rule Checking) and LVS (Layout vs. Schematic) to identify and work with the customer to correct.
  • OPC Optimization: Apply optical proximity correction techniques to the mask design to compensate for optical distortions and ensure pattern fidelity in the photolithography process.
  • Collaboration with Design and Fabrication Teams: Work closely with photonic IC design engineers and fabrication teams to understand design intents and process limitations, ensuring mask data is optimised for both.
  • Process Improvement: Continuously seek ways to improve mask data preparation processes, including automation of repetitive tasks, enhancement of data accuracy, and reduction of turnaround times.
  • Documentation and Reporting: Maintain comprehensive documentation of mask data preparation processes and procedures, and prepare reports on process metrics and performance.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related technical field
  • Experience in frame design, data preparation, and verification in a semiconductor manufacturing environment.
  • Proficiency with EDA tools used in mask data preparation, preference on Mentor, Synopsys
  • Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for automation and process efficiency
  • Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes, especially photolithography
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Attention to detail and commitment to achieving high-quality outcomes.

Benefits

  • A flexible and dynamic start-up work environment
  • A highly international, diverse and highly motivated team
  • Personal responsibility in your job and the chance to grow with us
  • Our passion to bring PICs to everyday life.

We look forward to receiving your full application including 1) your CV, 2) a statement of interest (relating the position to your skills) and 3) grade or work certificates. Non-complete applications may not be considered.
