Work description

Data traffic is exploding! At Lumiphase, we are on a mission to create the fastest and most energy-efficient communication chip the world has ever seen – to enable global IT infrastructure to handle this massive increase in data. The internship projects are placed at the heart of our R&D activities and will ensure that our groundbreaking semiconductor chips can realize their full performance potential with appropriate electrical, optical and mechanical integration solutions.Project 1 – Packaging and Reliability: Semiconductor and optical packaging and testingDuring this internship project, you will collaborate closely with R&D engineers to enhance our test capabilities. You will gain understanding of our electrical and optical testing hardware, learn about our characterization methods, and engage in both conceptual and practical lab work. This hands-on experience will provide you with a comprehensive background in industry-driven R&D activities. Your daily tasks may include:• Design and improvement of experimental setups for electrical or electro-optical characterization and robustness testing of integrated photonic devices.• Implementation of new test methods within these setups (instrument selection, integration, and measurement routine coding).• Design of PCBs for mechanical sample fixation and electrical routing.• Conducting measurements, analyzing data, and preparing documentation.• Engaging in hands-on lab tasks, such as setting up new instruments, installation of hardware components and samples into test chambers, or definition and execution of calibration routines.
