The Semiconductor Test Engineer will be part of an engineering team in our microelectronics device and component manufacturing location in Chandler, AZ. This is a HARDWARE test position. The engineer will be part of a dynamic team with over 20 years of experience in the design, manufacturing, and testing of high-performance avalanche photodiodes (APDs) and PINs, high speed receivers, linear arrays, TEC-cooled photoconductors, and pyroelectric detectors. In a state-of-the-art production facility, our devices are processed with different materials including silicon, InGaAs, lead salts, and pyroelectrics.

Responsibilities and basic qualifications of the job are:

1. PCB design and layout, using Altium or Diptrace

2. Leading the efforts to improve output and efficiency in the production testing department through LABVIEW automation, improved test screening techniques, and improved equipment

3. Experience supporting a photodetector or sensor production department and product managers to troubleshoot and solve test engineering problems. That includes activities related to developing hardware tests of new custom product designs, and continuous improvement of tests for existing product designs.

4. Developing new test boxes, test jigs, and test fixtures, and repairing existing ones is an integral part of the job

5. Maintenance, repair, calibration, and support of all benchtop test equipment such as Keithleys, Oscilloscopes, Signal Analyzers, Wafer Probers, Lock-in Amplifiers, Spectrum analyzers, etc.

6. Conducting Failure Analyses to component level. Writing 8D/FA reports to reduce RMAs through effective test screening to prevent escapes and connecting test failures to the assembly process to improve test yield

7. Lead projects to continuously improve the test failure rate, remove waste in the test department, and modernize the test area to suit our product needs through equipment upgrades, software upgrades, etc.

8. Infrequently, work with customers to recommend best test practices for our products and implement tests for our products based on their feedback for their specific application

9. Minimum 10 years of work experience in a Microelectronics device manufacturing environment as a Hardware-oriented Test Engineer

Educational Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree in electrical engineering, Master’s Degree preferred.

Laser Components Detector Group, Inc. has been researching, developing, and manufacturing semiconductor detectors in Phoenix since 2004. The Detector Group specializes in engineering custom developments of individual configurations, resulting in high-performance Silicon Photodiodes, InGaAs Avalanche Photodiodes (APD), pyroelectric detectors, and Lead Salt IR Detectors for use in the detection of the smallest amounts of light and radiation. We fabricate, assemble, and test most of these products in-house.

Our product range extends from low-cost APDs for commercial applications to high-end components used in military applications. Our products feature in cutting edge applications such as LiDAR for autonomous vehicles, drone technology, satellite missions to name just a few. The heart of our photon-counting APD modules also originated at our facility. We also specialize in building complete receivers that are engineered to demonstrate high sensitivity, high wavelength range, and large frequency width.
