About the job

You will contribute to the development of cutting-edge microLED technology that is efficient and manufacturable, in broad collaboration with engineering teams from epitaxy to process development and product engineering. You will investigate device imperfections (e.g., structural defects from epitaxy and from process), to understand their origin and their impact on device performance and reliability, and to remedy them. You will support improvements of the process flow towards mass production. You will participate in the development of future devices with increased performance.
