Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Red Micro-LED Development Engineer to join our advanced optoelectronic device team. The candidate will focus on the design, fabrication, and characterization of high-performance red micro-LEDs for next-generation display applications. The role requires strong expertise in III-V semiconductor materials, epitaxial growth, microfabrication and device characterizations.

Key Responsibilities

• •Lead development of AlGaInP-based red-emitting micro-LEDs.
• •Collaborate with MOCVD epitaxy engineers to optimize material growth for high internal quantum efficiency and uniformity.
• •Design and simulate micro-LED structures for improved light extraction, current spreading, and device reliability.
• •Develop and refine microfabrication processes (photolithography, dry/wet etching, metallization, passivation, bonding).
• •Characterize device performance, including electrical, optical, and thermal properties at wafer and chip level.
• •Analyze degradation mechanisms and propose solutions for enhanced lifetime and efficiency.
• •Collaborate with cross-functional teams (epitaxy, packaging, testing, and system integration).
• •Document development progress, prepare technical reports, and present findings to stakeholder.

Minimum Qualifications

• •Ph.D. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or related field.
• •3+ years of hands-on experience in III-V optoelectronic devices (micro-LEDs, LEDs, VCSELs, lasers or photo diodes).
• •Strong knowledge of III-V semiconductors (AlGaInP, InP, etc.).
• •Proficiency in MOCVD epitaxial growth techniques and device physics.
• •Hands-on experience in semiconductor microfabrication (etching, deposition, lithography, wafer bonding).
• •Expertise in device characterization (L-I-V, EL spectra, EQE, reliability testing).
• •Familiarity with simulation tools (e.g., COMSOL, Silvaco, Lumerical, Sentaurus) is a plus.
• •Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities.
• •Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• •Ability to work both independently and in multidisciplinary teams.
• •Proactive mindset with ability to adapt in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• •Prior experience in red or visible micro-LED development for displays or micro-displays.
• •Prior experience in wafer-to-wafer hybrid bonding with CMOS backplanes.
• •Experience with reliability testing and failure analysis.

Benefits

• •Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge micro-LED technology shaping the future of displays.
• •Collaborative work environment with industry and academic experts.
• •Competitive compensation and benefits package.
