hirify.global’s SPP business designs, fabricates, and delivers Indium Phosphide semiconductor laser and gain chips through two wafer fabrication facilities in Southern California.

What you will do

• Build and lead the Fab Quality organization across both fabrication facilities, including recruiting and developing quality inspectors and future technician and quality engineering capabilities.
• Establish quality procedures, metrics, escalation and reporting systems, inspection criteria, material controls, traceability, and disposition tracking.
• Develop in-process quality controls and drive reductions in defects, scrap, rework, quality escapes, and process variability across epitaxial growth, wafer fabrication, bar processing, chip processing, and test operations.
• Implement and maintain SPC, CAPA, NCMR, FMEA, process control plans, ESD controls, quality documentation, and audit-ready manufacturing quality systems.
• Lead investigations, corrective actions, process capability and measurement-system activities, tool and process qualification, and quality reviews of engineering changes and manufacturing transfers.
• Support internal, customer, and ISO audits, contamination-control initiatives, cleanroom environmental monitoring, and alignment with corporate quality programs.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 7+ years of manufacturing quality experience within wafer fabrication, photonics, compound semiconductor, or related advanced manufacturing environments.
• 3+ years of people leadership experience.
• Strong knowledge of SPC, CAPA, NCMR, FMEA, Control Plans, MSA, and manufacturing quality systems.
• Experience leading root-cause investigations and corrective-action programs.
• Experience supporting semiconductor wafer fabrication or advanced manufacturing operations.
• Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
• Experience working effectively across Operations and Engineering functions.

Nice to have

• Wafer-fab quality experience in silicon semiconductor, compound semiconductor, photonics, III-V semiconductor, optoelectronics, or optical communications manufacturing.
• Experience supporting epitaxial growth operations and building or scaling manufacturing quality organizations across multiple sites.
• Experience with supplier-quality programs and semiconductor MES systems.
• Experience operating in evolving, high-mix manufacturing environments with limited historical data.
• Interest in learning InP epitaxial growth, wafer fabrication, and photonics manufacturing technologies.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time onsite work with a strong presence on the manufacturing floor.
• Cross-functional collaboration with Operations, Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning, Supply Chain, Test Operations, and Reliability & Failure Analysis.
• Work in a vertically integrated photonics manufacturing environment supporting two Southern California fabrication facilities.
• EEO employer with a drug-free workplace and reasonable accommodation for qualified individuals with disabilities.
