Principal Machine Learning Engineer – Wafer Fabrication

II-VI Aerospace & Defense
Fremont, CA
Job Description
Role Overview

The Principal Machine Learning Engineer will develop and validate models for yield improvement, screening accuracy, and process optimization through application of model selection and hyperparameter tuning. They will collaborate with Photonics designers and process, reliability, and manufacturing engineers to align ML approaches with product objectives and to quantify cost-benefit analysis.

What You Will Do

The candidate will develop reusable data pipelines, analytical tools, dashboards, and model-monitoring methods. They will deploy AI/ML within manufacturing systems through a combination of Edge AI, API serving, Containerization, and Cloud-based training and inference. They will also support design of experiments, process characterization, and continuous improvement activities.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The candidate will have the opportunity to establish best practices for ML and share them across the site and other sites. They will also have the chance to work with a global leader in lasers, engineered materials, and networking components, with a comprehensive career development platform and a competitive compensation program.
