LED Design Engineer

Develop and characterize new or improved designs of high brightness LEDs and support new product introduction efforts

• Responsible for designing, developing and characterizing high efficiency, high power LEDs; developing and maintaining theoretical understanding of the full optical system, including chip behavior, light extraction design and packaging considerations; supporting theoretical design by quantitative experimental analysis and coordinating designed experiments from epi forwards to packaged devices; and determining test conditions and specifications for new products
• Ph.D. in Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Optics or equivalent discipline and 1-3 years relevant product development experience in industry required
• Experience in optical device design (including theoretical and experimental expertise in doped optical materials, optical interfaces and optical semiconductor materials); with LED device characterization such as LIV, far-field, thermal resistance, uniformity, TLM and other aspects of test engineering; with LED manufacturing (especially III-Nitride or AlInGaP materials/devices); and in design of vertical emission semiconductor optical systems and simulation
• Demonstrated strong computer skills with LabVIEW, Matlab, scripting, database applications and statistical analysis; system-level approach to optical device design; and use of statistical data analysis and Design-of-Experiments techniques
