Jobs at Black Semiconductor

Lead software architecture for a hybrid electronic/photonic compute engine: define programming model, compiler, runtime, and workload-placement strategies; develop AI workload performance models; co-design interfaces with hardware; prototype kernels, libraries, and runtime concepts to validate architectural decisions.

Design and implement photonic integrated circuits: own schematic capture, mask layout, PDK-compliant tape-out readiness, DRC/LVS verification, workflow automation with Python, and collaborate with device, simulation, EIC, packaging, and foundry teams to deliver manufacturable PIC blocks and full-chip assemblies.

Lead hardware architecture for a hybrid electronic–photonic compute engine: define execution units, memory hierarchy, data fabric, interconnects, and hardware/software interfaces; perform quantitative modeling of performance/power/area trade-offs; collaborate across photonics, RTL, physical design, packaging, and software teams; own architecture specification through sign-off for silicon implementation.

Support installation, qualification, maintenance, and continuous improvement of dry etch equipment. Perform preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, SPC-based performance monitoring, data analysis, root cause analysis, vendor coordination, and progressively own small projects to improve tool reliability and throughput.

Develop and automate electrical, optical, optoelectronic, and RF characterization and production test methods for graphene photonics devices. Build and optimize test setups from bench to wafer-scale, analyze measurement data for yield and reliability, support DFT/ATE adoption, and drive transition from R&D to manufacturing readiness.

The Plating Process Engineer will develop and implement advanced plating processes, oversee fab startup activities, and establish specifications and protocols for plating tools in a semiconductor environment.

Lead tool planning and installation for plating capabilities in a semiconductor fab. Ensure safety compliance, drive equipment selection, and implement maintenance programs.

The Senior Process Engineer - Lithography will develop and stabilize lithography processes in a semiconductor fab, ensuring operational success and efficiency. Responsibilities include equipment installation, process qualification, and mentoring team members in best practices.

The role involves reliability qualification, testing, and analysis of graphene photonics products, focusing on performance validation, failure analysis, and transition from prototype to production.

Lead end-to-end recruitment for specialized technical and operational roles (engineering, R&D, IC design, process development, manufacturing). Develop data-driven talent strategies, partner with hiring managers, improve recruitment processes using data and AI, collaborate with People team for onboarding, and track market trends to keep hiring competitive.

Partner with managers as a dedicated People Development lead to deliver performance and talent processes, enable career conversations, coach manager capability, run performance/talent review cycles, apply career frameworks, activate team learning, and support succession planning to scale a high-performance culture.

Drive the complete tape-out flow including DGS database integration, mask data preparation, and DfX co-integration for graphene photonic platforms.

Lead development and implementation of CMP processes for next-generation and 2D materials. Drive fab startup activities including tool installation, acceptance testing, recipe validation, and ramp-to-production. Define CMP tool/process specifications, establish Process of Record, implement SPC, and collaborate with suppliers, equipment, facility, and chemical/waste teams to integrate and qualify solutions.

Own and scale People Operations and Global Mobility: payroll for NL and DE, contracts, HRIS administration, immigration and relocation programs, SOPs and process building, reporting and analytics, external partner coordination, and strategic business partnering to reduce manual workflows and support leadership in a fast-growing international environment.

Operate and maintain CD-SEM metrology tools to deliver accurate nanoscale measurements, support process control and yield improvement, perform maintenance and troubleshooting, collaborate with lithography/etch teams, generate metrology reports, train colleagues, and improve metrology methods while complying with EHS guidelines.

Lead development and qualification of process flows and integration schemes for integrated graphene photonics. Plan, execute, and analyze integration studies, drive process optimization, yield and reliability improvements, and translate data into actionable recommendations. Collaborate cross-functionally and define process specifications for a 300 mm fab while managing projects and change-management for scale-up to volume manufacturing.
