Job Description

Are you a scientist or R&D engineer with hands‑on experience in lasers and semiconductor or MEMS cleanrooms, ready to take the next step? At Lightium, we are building next‑generation photonic integrated circuits (PICs) based on thin‑film lithium niobate (TFLN), and we are looking for a Photonics Lab and Cleanroom Manager to become the technical lighthouse of our cleanroom and optical labs.

Position Summary

We seek a practical Photonics Lab and Cleanroom Manager to lead the technical operations of our cleanroom and optical laboratories, which host both R&D activities and production process steps with dedicated operators. You will settle cleanroom discipline, coordinate tool maintenance with tool owners, help plan the cleanroom expansion, and take on the role of Laser Safety Officer for our Class 3B laser setups, keeping the lab physically and methodologically lean for both exploratory work and a stable production flow.
