Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Nederland TNO Voltijd

At TNO, a leading R&D institute, we are accelerating the uptake of integrated photonics by helping industrial partners bridge the gap between research and commercialization. Our mission is to solve society's biggest challenges through applications ranging from road safety and health monitoring to energy-efficient data handling and communication, as well as data security.

We are seeking an experienced Photonics Research Scientist to join our team in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. As part of our dynamic team, you will be instrumental in advancing the high-precision assembly and interconnect of photonic components, contributing to the development of more efficient and compact photonic-electronic systems applicable in advanced communication systems, medical devices, and beyond.

Job Description

You will work at the intersection of materials science, process technology, microelectronics, and packaging, conducting experimental investigations and employing advanced modeling techniques to design optimized material/process combinations. These will facilitate the successful assembly and interconnect of new photonic components onto various substrates.

Your expertise in micro-assembly techniques and materials will drive the adoption of this technology as a mainstream manufacturing solution for photonic components. If you have a background in high-precision chip alignment and experience in photonics, semiconductors, or related fields, we encourage you to apply.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design, fabricate, and validate optical and electronic interconnect and assembly processes for next-generation photonic devices and systems.
  • Guide and support the acquisition of commercial chip assembly equipment.
  • Participate in the development of high-speed (> 10, UPH) and high-accuracy assembly processes.
  • Collaborate on projects with international customers, sharing your expertise and taking on key responsibilities.
What We Expect From You

You thrive on the challenge of bridging research and practical application in the field of integrated photonics. You have a solid background in photonics, semiconductors, or a related field, with specific experience in high-precision chip alignment. Your skills in micro-assembly techniques and materials science will be crucial to our success.

  • PhD in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or materials science.
  • Preferably 5 years of experience in semiconductor industry in the field of advanced chip packaging and high-precision chip assembly.
  • Proven experience in designing and fabricating optical and electronic interconnects.
  • Strong communication skills, enabling effective collaboration with international partners.
Salary and Benefits

We offer a gross monthly salary of €90,000 (based on your knowledge and experience), 8% holiday pay, a 13th month bonus of 8.33%, and a flex budget (5.58% + €1,200). In addition, you will be given every opportunity to develop yourself, whether that means growing your career in the direction of commerce or consultancy, becoming a project manager, immersing yourself in sustainable innovations, or carving out a career as a technical expert.

  • An extremely professional, innovative working environment where colleagues are leading experts in their field.
  • The opportunity to attend courses, workshops, and conferences, and to receive training and coaching based on your needs.
  • 33 days annual leave on a full-time basis.
  • An employer that values and encourages diverse talent, with initiatives like the Female Leadership Program, our Rainbow Community, and round tables on inclusion topics.
  • We offer a comprehensive and flexible benefits package that includes full compensation for public transportation for commuting and business travel.
  • Flexible working hours, the possibility to work part-time (32 of 36 hours), and the possibility of working from home.
  • Extensive relocation assistance for international candidates.
  • A good pension scheme.
